Prague is a violet place for tourists

News about arrests and attacks on Danish tourists has reached Denmark. The country which has seen better times when it was a part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire lacks obvious security for Tourists. For the last decade the city has been advertised as a party capital due to lack of culture and points of interest leaving the only option to market it as the place to party 24-7.

For many parents it might seem just as safe to let the children party in Prague as in parts of Copenhagen like Norrebro known to be a place where you can be killed just 10 minutes after arriving to it like an Italian tourist experienced some years back. But remember that the police don't speak Danish down there. The use of ethnical profiling which have lowered crime the last 10 years in Denmark is not used to the advantage of the children down there.

It seems that the tourist industry has no support from the local authorities. It puts the entire business at risk and a choosing the Czech republic and Prague as holiday destination might be too risky in the future.
