In a bid to tackle the negative impacts of overtourism, the city of Prague has approved a ban on organized nighttime pub crawls in its historic district. The decision comes after years of dealing with rowdy and drunk tourist groups moving from bar to bar, causing disturbances for residents and authorities alike.

The ban, set to take effect in November, aims to address issues such as disturbing noise at night, garbage on the streets, and concerns related to security and reputation. The move was proposed by a city council member and was approved this week.
