My 2 sisters and I are travelling to Europe for a busking tour in July. We are planning a stop in Prague and are not sure if we would need a licence/permit to busk there?
Also, any location recommendations or other advice you could give us would be very appreciated!!
Here is a lits of all other places we are going in Europe - if you are able to advise on licences for any other places too, that would be fab! Or please recommend any other cities/towns or whatever we could go to...
Calais, France
Antwerp, Belgium
Amsterdam, Netherlands
Osnabruck, Germany
Salzgitter, Germany
Berlin, Germany
Prague, Czech Rep
Brno, Czech Rep
Vienna, Austria
Klagenheim for the world body-painting festivals (18th-23rd July)
Milan, Italy
Geneva, Switzerland
Dijon, France
St Dizier, France
Many thanks!

i believe that you do need a licence to legally busk in prague- this is as opposed to playing for free. as one person you may get away with it on a busy day. but as a group it is less so.
i would stop in dresden on the way from prague to berlin, rather than stopping in brno

OK - Here is a blonde american question....what is a busk???
|||
singing

singing and hoping people will voluntarily give you money when you do it

I learn something new all the time on Trip Advisor...thanks.

Hi
Busking can be very lucrative, my youngest son and his friends from music college would regularly make the best part of £100 each when they played in Manchester city centre. But there was more to it than just standing and singing anywhere, one of them had to be in the city centre by 6am to grab the pitch, then the others would arrive by 9 and play none stop of about four hours. Still the money is a hell of a lot better than working in Tesco%26#39;s.

and then he comes home and sozzles himself on the absinthe which his mum has brought him from prague

I once busked in the London tube. As Jackie said, there may also be issues of turf and territory.
In the London tube there was a rota (schedule). The first person of the day had a piece of paper and buskers would come and add their name for a specific hour. The paper was passed to the next person who would show up on schedule. I was amazed how organized it was. That was a long time ago, not sure if it is still the same.
Except for the most touristy areas, Prague doesn%26#39;t seem that organized, but I can%26#39;t say for sure.

ps I did try reading parenting books but they never covered this situation so I used my own initiative.

jackie just joking. if your offspring are anything like me, you would have given up a long time ago, but from the sounds of it and your care and attention, they are not.
