The fall of Prague: ‘Drunk tourists are acting like they’ve conquered our city’

As the Czech Republic capital launches a crackdown, the Observer joins one of the organised pub crawls that are blighting residents' lives

Eugen Kukla could not have made his feelings clearer as 120 drunken tourists thronged noisily past his home around midnight, rudely breaking the silence of a normally sedate city-centre residential street.

"Fuck pub crawls, fuck pub crawls," he repeated over and over again, while filming the scene on his smart phone. Some of the crowd reacted in amusement, smiling and waving into the camera.
