The Czech Republic is one of the most popular European tourist destinations. Thanks to its interesting history and stunning architecture, the country attracts millions of visitors every year.

There are many interesting things to do in the Czech Republic, but there are also some things you shouldn't do when visiting this Central European country. This was written by the publication NewsBytes.

Tourists are advised to respect the infrastructure in the Czech Republic, so, despite the tradition, do not hang locks on the Devil's Bridge. It is known that couples enjoy attaching locks to the Čertovka pedestrian bridge to symbolize their love and devotion. However, the weight of the padlocks can cause significant damage to the bridge structure, especially if thousands of people do so.

The John Lennon Wall in Prague is known for its colourful graffiti and political messages. It is a historical and cultural landmark that has been preserved for decades. While visitors are free to take pictures and admire the art, it is not acceptable to draw or add graffiti to the wall. This damages the work of art and may require additional efforts to repair.

Travellers are advised to be careful when hiring a taxi. Although this mode of transportation is convenient, it is important to be careful when using it in the Czech Republic. Look for well-known taxi companies with a good reputation. Avoid taking a taxi from unmarked or unofficial vehicles as they may be unsafe or the prices may be too high. It's always worth agreeing on a price in advance to avoid paying extra.

Finally, one more tip for tourists: do not call the Czech Republic an Eastern European country. Although the Czech Republic is located in Central Europe, it is often mistakenly called part of Eastern Europe. Therefore, Czech citizens do not consider themselves part of Eastern Europe and may be offended if their country is referred to as such. If you call it Eastern Europe in the presence of a local, you will most likely be corrected.
