Late evening, downtown Krakow goes from historic landmark to hub for stag nights, pub crawls and wild parties.
Now, fed up with the ruckus, disgruntled locals are taking Polands second city to court.
The lawsuit filed this month, with backing from several dozen residents, accuses municipal authorities of not doing enough to address disturbances to public order, including loud noise and excessive drunkenness.
Non-compliance with the law has become a symbol of tourism in Krakow, Ryszard Rydiger, the lawyer behind the initiative, said.
He likened the situation to something seen nowhere else in Europe and said tourists were behaving like Tarzan from the Jungle without consequence.
