Many people visit Prague thinking that rules and laws are not enforced as strictly as in other countries, or they simply donât know the rules. Well, let me list a few, that you should know of.

Drinking in public is illegal (sort of)
Many people come to Prague thinking itâs legal to drink alcohol in public. No wonder, many guides, and YouTubers tell them itâs ok. Unfortunately, that is actually not entirely true. There are more than 831 locations, (map here) where it is not allowed to drink alcohol, including beer and wine. Ironically, it is forbidden to drink alcohol for example on Old Town Square or Wenceslas Square, but there are many stands, selling alcohol. The city ordinance does take this into account by stating, that drinking next to the stand that sold you alcohol is fine. How far is ânext toâ is not definedâŚ
Honest walkaround
Drink in a pub, or with a local, so you wonât get into trouble.

Writing on the John Lenon wall can result in 1 year in prison
Even us the Honest Guides told you to âtag yourself on the Lennon wallâ in one of our videos. Well, times have changed and the owners of the wall are not happy with what the wall has turned into. So they repainted it and said it should only serve as an outdoor gallery with a specifically designated area to write on. Unfortunately, nobody knows what that âareaâ is, so in a way cops can get you for writing or tagging on the wall. And by the Czech law that is punishable by up to 1 year in prison.
Honest walkaround
There are legal graffiti walls in Prague where you can write and spray. One is near the Barrandov bridge, mentioned here in our video.

It is forbidden to ride a bicycle in Prague (sort of)
This makeâs no sense right? Well, it is actually true (partially). If you own a bicycle that is wider than 1.2 meters (thatâs 3.93701 feet or 47.2441 inches – thank God for the metric system) you canât ride it in the city center of Prague. Well, you may be asking yourself, is there such a thing as a bicycle that is wider than 1.2 meters? And the answer is yes. Itâs these crazy beer bikes, that were serving tourists to drink beers and roam Prague at the same time. The city didnât like the idea and the only restriction they could come up with to ban these beer bikes was a new traffic sign that prohibits bicycles that are wider than 1.2 meters (width of the beer bike) from entering the city center. The downside of this is thousands of new signs that had to be installed all around the city.
Honest walkaround
You will be fine on your normal bike. Just donât drink beer at the same time, your driverâs license could be taken away.

Just want to thank you. We watched your videos before we went to Prague last year in November. You mentioned all the buses, subway, and trolleys are free for over 60. It freed us from all the hassle of âhow to convertâ in strange language, if you know what I mean. What a load off! We loved hop on and off and explored Prague and enjoyed for two weeks. We will go back at a drop of a hat!

Tourists often pay public traffic (MHD) fines, mostly in downtown underground stations like Malostranska, Staromestska and Mustek.
