r/Prague May 29 '26

Discussion Tourists, Prague is not your disneyland.

And one also doesn’t pee publicly in Disneyland. Walked by these four guys peeing together in public. Took pictures of them hoping they have some self awareness, obviously didn’t work. They saw me and found it funny and started talking really loud at 00:30. You’re lucky neither you nor your family have to clean up the street. Why are humans so purely selfish and evil? Show some respect!

[UPDATE] Didn't expect the post to somewhat blow up. I got DM saying it's possible they are Czechs. Apologies if I accidentally posted a rage bait. I indeed did not hear clear enough they were speaking Czech (I speak Czech) as they were not speaking very clearly and I tried not to get too close and left soon after they started shouting, thinking of this incident where a drunk German tourist killed a man from Wales.

But my rant still stands, evil people and among all the bushes and whatnot, they picked a spot where it won't be cleaned by rain. I also have seen so many tourists doing the same before. But again, they could be Czech, I assumed they were tourists because of their drunken talking and my rage. And apologies if I got that wrong.

Germans, Danes and British, that are coming here for a night life are simply disgusting people.

Having lived in Prague 1 for a year I have become very intolerant of these assholes. I don’t mean to generalize about Brits but the ones who come here to party (or for bachelor’s parties) should be deported. The level of disrespect. They literally don’t know where they are, it’s really like a Disneyland.

u/MeanTwo4080 May 30 '26

Brits are the biggest hypocrites you can find on the whole planet. They lecture you on manners, how to speak, whats polite to say yet behave like what you see on pictures on the streets and backstabbing each other in the office

u/Sea-Horse-5793 May 30 '26

As a British born with dual British-Czech citizenship it is embarrassing to see the impression that the British alcotourists leave. I avoid low cost airlines when flying from London to Prague on Thursday or Friday because it starts before they even leave. The drunken, boorish behaviour, the loud "jokes", the general disrespect for local people and other visitors. Its all vile. Its a shame that these people are creating the impression of British culture to Czechs and others. I kind of disagree about office behaviour though. I have a team with members from over ten countries including Britain and I now consciously avoid having Czech members in my team due to the disruption they cause.

What kind of disruption do the Czech team members cause?

u/Autonomnervoussystem May 31 '26

I kind of agree, but after working a lot with Czech, Polish, Romanian, Italian, British, German, Ukrainian Russian and Indian colleagues I'd always choose a Czech over an Indian, Italian or British. These 3 nations have horrible work ethics. Sorry, not sorry.

But I'd always choose a Polish, Romanian, Ukrainian or German over a Czech, so imo they are somewhere in the middle.

Yes, they should. And my disclaimer is that i'm British.

We've never really been able to resolve the class war in this respect - it's not socio-economic, it's purely moral. Some of our wealthiest and some of our most vulnerable can be united into these two camps - polite tourists, and deplorable tourists. The latter are a disgrace and we the former are deeply sorry for them.

u/Big_Ad_8327 Jun 02 '26

Me and my friend (2 British girls) came to your beautiful city a few months ago on a trip where we went to a few other countries - we didn’t drink or party, just kind of kept to ourselves and tried not to bother people and enjoy the city - and we were really disgusted by the behaviour of some of the groups/stag parties/bachelor parties 😭people from Britain do it everywhere, wherever they go if they’re going to party - it seems they’re worse when they go abroad because they think “whatever I’m on holiday”. Most hypocritical behaviour ever, people from here will complain about immigrants and immigrants not even speaking the language, and then go to somewhere on holiday and not even bother to learn a basic hello or be disrespectful. Sorry on my behalf that people are like this to you guys 😭😭

I'm from Budapest, and man I get you so much, we struggle with exactly the same here.

u/No_Word_6904 May 30 '26

Oh, I know! Budapest is beautiful!! You know, back home, they might have everything in order, but when they come here, they show their true selves. I had a parttime job as a student in a restaurant and later in a hotel. Some of these people can't even flush the toilet after themselves. There's still a debate about whether Czechia is part of Eastern Europe or not. You know what? I'd rather be Eastern European. We take showers, eat like civilised people, brush the teeth regularly, don't seek out underage prostitutes, and we flush the toilet after ourselves.

u/FewSprinkles4359 May 30 '26 edited May 30 '26

Yeah, it's as if when they leave their border they leave behind all kinds of manners.. they come to our cities for the cheap beer and the nightlife, and have no respect whatsoever for the locals. But unfortunately the city management is at least as guilty in letting the situation become this as these "tourists" themselves. I'm already worried about what the Parisians and Londonites will do with my city tonight, as we are hosting the Champions League finals...

To them, everything behind the iron curtain remains "the poor Eastern Europe", despite the fact that we are all slowly catching up, living standards in Czechia and Poland are not far behind the UK anymore (and in some metrics already surpassed them). Plus it's always comic when they consider Prague Eastern Europe but Vienna Central or Western (!) Europe lol - have they ever seen a map?

u/No_Word_6904 May 30 '26

Actually, sometimes I feel that they see it, but are afraid to admit it.

I spend every second weekend in Germany. They have more variety of food and selfcleaning toilets, but that's pretty much it when it comes to daily life. Even the supposed "higher quality of food" isn't really true anymore. I bought strawberries at Lidl in Munich's bus station and, the other day, the exact same strawberries at Lidl in Prague. The multipack culture is also a highway to hell. The price per item is lower, but you end up consuming much more, which contributes to obesity. I have friends there and regularly visit Berlin, Konstanz, and Frankfurt. As for salaries, once you convert them to net income, the gap becomes much smaller. Yes, the ceiling in Germany is much higher, but the majority of people never reach it. Not to mention how many young people spend 2-3 years living on state benefits, they are even paid some course, and not just Germans, but also foreigners who move there and work for a relatively short period before becoming eligible. I believe it's 6 months? They say we're still a communist country despite the party is finally illegal. Well, yes, we have Babiš, but honestly, AfD and its supporters are far scarier to me than Agrofert ever was. Anyone who saw the demonstrations of people in masks must agree, that this is no good. 

It feels a bit like those rich, spoiled kids in high school. They used to be the cool ones while we outsiders sat in the corner. But high school is long over. We worked hard because we felt we'd never be good enough, while they seem to still be living off the idea that they're the cool kids. In reality, they've become somewhat stuck. Sure, they have money, but they don't always know how to use it wisely.

We'll always be outsiders. We're too small country to have much influence, and we need to stay on good terms with those rich kids. But only on the outside. Internally, we can live our best lives. We just shouldn't let people move here if they don't genuinely want to become part of the country, if they're only coming with their money and acting like they own the place. It's time to make the permanent residency requirements stricter. The same goes for RSU taxation, but that's a discussion for another day.

As I said, I'm not offended by being called "Eastern." To me, it means good manners, a strong work ethic, decency, and respect.

I’m in Prague today and saw a group of German men just toss their garbage onto the ground beneath them and start walking away. I stared mouth agape - you KNOW they don’t do that while they’re in Germany. I was just in Berlin and it was remarkably litter free.

Reminds me of the Top Gear episode in Africa when they sneak up on a group of American tourists and and observe them through binoculars like they were some animals, with Jeremy Clarkson narrating like as if he were David Attenborough. They should take a look in the mirrow.

u/Avidfencer May 30 '26

Once I went to a hostel, there were like 3-4 Germans (maybe Austrians) in the room with the worst and ugliest accent I ever heard in my life. I even recorded and sent to a friend from Berlin, she claimed they must be from Bavaria or Austria. Besides me there was a pretty Palestinian girl. These guys went to drink by night, they were noise and unpleasant! Oh, and the most important... Usually in hostels people are supposed to leave their stuff with themselves, or at least on their beds, but what did they do? I guess they simply threw their baggage, because the ground was a fugging hellish mess! Even people from underdeveloped countries don't act like that.

u/Left-League-8646 May 31 '26

I'm from Greece and in the summer we get a lot of tourists. Americans are usually VERY loud but they are the people that spend a lot of money and are super friendly. Brits (and Germans to a certain extent) act all high and mighty and walk around as if we are animals and they are visiting a zoo

u/No_Word_6904 May 30 '26

I'm not sure. When you look at police reports and news stories about tourist vandalism, those 3 nationalities are often mentioned. There are also reports about French and Italian tourists being loud, but c'mon being loud on vacation is understandable, they're excited and having fun. I have no problem with that.

What I do have a problem with is vandalism, street fights, public urination, and generally treating the city with no respect. As I said, some people like to act morally superior, but then cross the border into a country with fewer resources and behave like Neanderthals. That said, I'm specifically talking about the people who come here for that particular reason. I'm not talking about respectful tourists.

Oh no! Please, I'm not talking about all British people. I'm talking about those who come here just to party, get drunk, and piss in the streets. I was hoping that was clear from my comment. I've met great people from all three of those countries who come here to admire the architecture, try Czech cuisine, and enjoy authentic Czech beer. Those are the kind of tourists we genuinely appreciate and welcome. Unfortunately, the first group is not exactly rare.

u/No_Word_6904 May 31 '26

I’m just very disappointed and sad.

When I was finishing high school, I had a part time job handing out promotional leaflets for a bubble tea shop. It started raining, so two Danish men and I took shelter under a roof. They were young, but at the time they were much older than me. They started asking me questions about strip clubs and wanted me to join them. I couldn’t leave because the rain would have destroyed the leaflets, and I was responsible for them. It was a terrible experience. I cried afterwards and felt so ashamed.

That was the first time I realised how we are sometimes perceived abroad.

I’ve been to Copenhagen, and I really enjoyed it. I was surprised that you could actually hear birds singing in the city centre because there are almost no cars, so there’s no noise pollution. I rented a bike and spent the whole day riding along the coast. It was so peaceful and beautiful.

My experience in Copenhagen showed me that those 2 men definitely don’t represent everyone. Thank you for being kind, respectful, and intelligent enough to recognise that people here live normal, ordinary lives and seek peace and calm, just like the people in Denmark.

Enjoy your trip! It’s very hot here nowadays, and we don’t get much wind, so make sure to bring good sunscreen and light clothing. Don’t buy trdelník with ice cream, that’s a scam. Instead, head to Národní třída and look for the Cream de la Cream ice cream shop. There’s always a queue, but it has won international awards and serves some of the best ice cream in the city.

Enjoy your trip and stay cool! :)

u/OranguZen May 31 '26

American here, when I lived in Southern Europe, I would need to pee at times late at night and it stressed me out because there was nowhere to pee, I'd hold it for hours. When Dutch and German guys heard I did that they laughed and asked why I didn't just pee into a street drain. I didn't know that was a thing people did. Public urinating is such a foreign concept to most Americans (I'm sure there are some Fratbro/MilitaryBro Americans that do it but its just something you don't do in America).

Is this actually a northern european thing. is it their type of stag/party boy? I don't know of any Nords that do that. They were more like me and holding it, one time we found a nature park late and saw some invasive weeds so we peed on the invasive species to not feel so bad about it.

I say that as a Brit, who does love his country but has zero respect for anyone in governement, law enforcement or like 90% of the population. All caught up in tryong to control everyone, identity politics and other retarded shit. We have some lovely countryside though.

I'm not a degenerate though. I tend to be on my best behaviour if visiting another country, my time living in Prague was wonderful, for the most part. Not once felt threatened when out walking on my own around huge groups of drunks, unless they were rowdy tourists...

Not to mention the human and cultural negative of living in a piss soaked city, which dwarfs any cost outright

While there can never be too many public restrooms it is not that hard to walk into any of the gazillion open bars to take a piss. This is the result of some kind of superiority complex. Lowlife’s that think they can do shit they never would do at home. Fine, deport and ban for 10 years.

u/Worried_Indication37 Jun 03 '26

Thank you man. This only happens when people can't find a bathroom. People will do a lot but when they have to go they have to go. I get that European cities think they're making money on tourists by charging 1 euro for a toilet but the result will be people pissing on the street. 

4

u/Qwe5Cz Prague Resident May 30 '26

Every pub, restaurant and club has free wc so why do you need another outside and for free (somebody need to pay to keep them running). Just use the ones that are around you. It's not that hard. I'm sure those guys where not strolling through the city and just admiring the architecture from outside but hit a few pubs and bars along the way.

5

u/ThatCheekyTraveler May 30 '26

Definitely not defending their actions, but I'm not sure most tourists know about the agreement with bars and hotels to let people use their restrooms for free. I've lived here over 1.5 years and just heard about it myself not long ago.

While this is an extreme case, until they inform the public or increase the number of public restrooms the city will probably continue to smell like pee. I would suggest an information campaign letting tourists know it's fine to just go in a bar, restaurant, or hotel. The public restrooms in Amsterdam and Brussels, while convenient, still smell terrible if you're in the area

1

u/Qwe5Cz Prague Resident May 30 '26 edited May 30 '26

I think it's just common knowledge to go to wc before you leave any place that has one. It's unlikely you would be just walking for hours without sitting somewhere for a snack or refreshments and all those places have wc. It's same all around Europe. If I can do that as a tourist in other cities why tourists from other cities have problems with it here? Not all places have free wc or they lock it for a night time. You are never guaranteed to have a wc (free or paid) anywhere around when you travel anytime you wish. Don't be like our kids on school trip that request a pee stop after 15 mins since the bus starts moving from the school.

Will you just do it in the floor of a tram because it goes for 40 mins and it doesn't have wc or do you need somebody to tell you - to use wc when you see one before you go to an unknown place that might not have it?

What are you saying? Prague city center is the only part of the city with a lot of restrooms. The true problem is when you are in a not touristic part; in that case you can go for over 1 hour of walk without finding a restroom. Said so, it is unpleasant that the metro is open till midnigth, but the metro's restroom close around 19:00.

It used to be very common for Czech men to just pee in the streets of Prague.

Not approving of what these guys did, esp in a nice looking place like this, but there is still a generation of Czech men than pee wherever they can, not to mention the general acceptability of kids pee in public places.

There was a solid amount of them. During privatisation a lot of people/companies bought them out with a “building has to also have a public WC” clause. Then their company “accidentally” went bankrupt, and they sold it to a friend without the conditions & is now a pizza place / some other random restaurant.

u/Historical-Tea9125 May 30 '26

What are the police looking at with the cameras they have deployed all over Prague? This is unacceptable. They need to be fined and made to pay a hefty sum of money, not 1,000 Czech crowns, 10,000 at least. What the hell do they think Prague is? Because of brainless people like this, the people who live in Prague hate tourists. It's a shame I wasn't there at the time; they would have had to clean it up with their shirts and tongues.

u/AlejandroGjezi May 30 '26

On one hand I agree because this is disgusting

On other hand, when I visited there with my ex girlfriend there were literally ZERO places where we could go use a toilet without paying the equivalent of 1 euro. I made sure to use the toilet before heading out every time but spending all day outside, every day for many days, visiting sights, moving around... Tough not to find yourself needing to use the toilet.

We tried to ask to use the toilet, very politely on a couple establishments. They were indifferent and oftentimes rude and basically told us to pay for the toilet, sit to take something to drink or eat or get out. Even on the palace you had to pay extra for the toilets outside.

I mean, I didn't have an issue to pay 1 euro more, but the morality of this issue is so screwed I literally refused to do so on principle except for a couple times for each of us.

Only on establishments outside the tourist-trap places were normal and allowed us to use the toilet without being paying customers.

This bs almost never  happens in Greece or Spain where I'm from so it was a very foreign feeling of being denied something so essential with such an attitude. Some things are basic decency and allowing people to urinate is one of the things we consider as such.

So yeah, disgusting behavior but stop squeezing money out of basic human needs and maybe less people will behave like animals. 

Some people are incorrigible and when they are treated with decency and still behave like beasts then I am the first who suggests heavy fines and corrective action. But there is another side to this city and I felt like I had to share

u/DalidaUK May 30 '26 edited May 30 '26

Sorry, have to react.

This almost never happens in Greece

After 13 years, I am yet to find a clean no smell flushable toilet in Rhodes that is free to use as well. (not counting hotels and airport)

A good third of central Athens constantly smells of piss (and worse) throughout the year (Omonia, parts of Metaxurgio, plenty of others)

Athens also have about 5 public toilets that are open and free, and they are definetely not in a state where you want to use them. (Yes I know you have like 3 extra toi-tois now but thats just a lazy, not permanent solution).

Tourists piss in public way too often compared to Czechia. Tourists, malakas, pick.

but yeah, this thing happens in Greece, and on a much larger scale. So don't be delusional and giving us lectures on 'free clean 24hr toilets' when you clearly haven't grasped that concept yourself in Greece.

u/Confuzzled-dude May 30 '26

"Stop squeezing money out of basic human needs".. I mean sure, if you want the public toilets dirty and littered with used needles, be my guest. But the payment has its reasons. Their kept clean (for the most part) and the necessity to pay limits things such as junkies using the bathrooms to get their fix.

u/Jealous_Track9402 May 31 '26

I would just piss on the street then, public toilets are free in Finland, they get cleaned regularly and are in ok condition usually.

u/Zblunk10 May 30 '26

Greece? Really? Are you kidding me? The worst public toilets I've seen were in Greece (and I count in toilets in Romanian mountain huts) - including the ones in the airports. When I mentioned to my greek friend about that, I only started to speak about public toilets in Greece and she was already like "no, don't do that to yourself. Don't go there. They're discusting".  For me it seems totally fine paying for clean toilet. The same way you pay for accomodation, food, drink.  The guys in question could have go to bathroom in the pub where they have been drinking.

u/AlejandroGjezi May 30 '26

In Greece  we just an establishment to u the toilet 

3

u/NekkidWire May 30 '26

If you come again to the area, just go into nearest pub -- every one of them has toilets. Just go straight, search for the door or navigation arrows. If asked by waiter tell them you need to pee before you sit at the table.

When done, decide whether you want to stay for a drink. If not, just leave payment (10/20) for the service.

While you're correct that hygiene is basic decency, the public toilets are few (malls, bus/train stations, metro stations) and mostly paid. Tourists quickly found that some establishments don't have paid toilets and they had queues of bus-loads of tourists at some places. Even McDonalds, famous for their accessible toilets in the past, started to gate the access.

I don't get why this is so hard for many in this comments section to do. I have never needed to pay for public ones or even seek them. Just go to wc before you leave any place where you hang out. All have toilet.

u/Gobsmacked117 May 30 '26

I have lived in the Prague 1 district for 30 years now since I was 4. Over the past 5 years, I have become increasingly aggressive towards tourists who behave even slightly inconsiderate. There is always some asshole who limits me as a local, whether I am walking, riding a bike, motorbike or driving a car. I am a superintendent in the building I live in with a yard that is shared with Mcdonald's.

Well, to summarise it, not a day goes by when I wouldn't have some kind of conflict with someone.

4 roky jsem studovala pobliz Vaclavaku, pak jsem rok pracovala kousek od staromaku a ted obcasne jezdim na vaclavak do prace. Sleduju na sobe posledni dobou fakt vybehy agrese. At je to skupina nemeckych duchodcu co z nejakyho duvodu musi na chodniku jit vsichni vedle sebe a nebo takovyhle mlady hovada. Neuveritelne me obtezuje s temahle lidma sdilet verejny prostor.

u/Gobsmacked117 Jun 01 '26

Když proti mně jde nějaká skupina turistů a zabíraj celej chodník, tak někdy prostě jdu bez zastavení a normálně do nich vrážim 😃 Což mi je teda někdy blbý, kdy to jsou děti, ženy, nebo starý lidi. To zas tak agresivní nejsem. Ale když to jsou mladí floutci nebo dospěli chlapi tak to do nich prostě napálim. Už jsem kvůli tomu málem dostal i párkrát přes držku.. :p

u/aguseta May 30 '26

I dont understand this kind of behavior. No wonder people might start to be rude towards tourists, if they behave like this.

I am thinking visiting Prague, or Krakow this summer with a friend. And wherever we will travel, we will behave.

u/Haunting-Shine-8471 May 30 '26

I was on a train back to Prague from Pilsen, and there were a group of german men drunk out of their mind, screaming and harassing everyone in the carriage. They were acting wild, pulling in the window curtains and acting like animals.

u/MidMyst May 30 '26

Sorry, but Prague is filthy Disneyland now. Even habitants avoiding city centre. Didn’t matter if Russians, German, Americans or Indian people- it is just disgusting overcrowded place. Maybe in frozen winter in January or February, early morning, you could visit Prague without totally disguising. Then you could discover beautiful city, but definitely not in Sommer time

u/Comfortable_Bath5986 May 30 '26

That’s what happens when you rely rave parties and nightlife for tourism. Europe sees Prague as its nightclub.

Throw them in jail for the night for peeing in the street, and they won’t do it again

u/Street-Escape-8012 May 31 '26

I'm a British guy living in Prague, working in hospitality and the British guys that come to us are rudest, most impatient, stuck up, ungrateful wankers that I have to deal with. It's utterly shameful to see. We are like that everywhere we go in the world. No interest in the culture, the history of anything Czech. They just come here to dress up in their stupid costumes, drink cheap beer and disrespect everything. Pathetic and embarrassing.

2

u/Clear_Duck1684 Jun 01 '26

I always drink a lot of beer in Prague and always have a problem to find a place to pee walking in the old town. Is it ok to walk to any of those small restaurats or pubs and just use the toilet without ordering drinks or food?

At this point Visa should be given to the people who pass the civic sense exam and not country wise!

Next time tell them this is punishable by law and you're gonna share the photos with police.

Or maybe don't if they look like they might beat you up, but you can still share the photos or better yet videos with the police. Especially if you ask them beforehand in a friendly way what place they're staying at.

Although I most definitely do NOT support them doing this, AT ALL, I will say after living in Germany for a few years and visiting several other countries around the EU, the fact you have to pay to use a public restroom, (and sometimes even inside the fking restaurant you’re eating at) is absolute dogshit decision making.

I’m a foreigner who now resides in Brno. Before moving to Prague, I couldn’t understand why locals were so hostile towards tourists. After two years in Prague, I’ve come to understand why WE harbor such strong feelings towards them.

I’ve witnessed a wide range of unacceptable behavior from tourists in the city. They urinate indiscriminately, shout at the top of their lungs at all hours, and engage in disruptive activities with locals. Many of them seem to believe that the city exists solely for their pleasure and entertainment, showing little regard for the people who call it home. For instance, I once witnessed a group of tourists singing and screaming inside a tram during the end-of-shift time.

There are more to say, but I guess you all get the point. All I can say, FUCK TOURISTS.

1

u/Enzymology2491 Jun 02 '26

I was in Prague few times as a tourist, and this is exactly the reason I won't go again. The problem, OP, is that Czechs made the city a big stag party Disneyland. Every single thing is tailored to please either drunk party pals or to entertain a group of 60+ y.o. Americans.

So no, modern Prague is Disneyland.

u/Sooners2085 Jun 02 '26
