Since 1 November 2007, it is an offence to drink alcohol in the street. There are likely to be exceptions for seasonal markets (such as the Christmas Market) and outside seating areas of restaurants and bars but consuming alcohol (for example bought in a supermarket) in other public areas could result in visitors being fined.
