Yes they can. They might pray a bit differently but they still pray together. Although Shias prefer to pray at their own mosques because it's more easier to follow the Emam during prayers. I've already seen Shias praying in Sunni mosque even while praying with us.
Sunnis can also pray in Shia mosques but Sunnis can't pray when it is a Shia Emam leading the prayer because it is too different for them.

@mo_travelnomad do you mean that it is forbidden for sunnis to pray when shia imam is leading or that they can do it but it will be very difficult for them?

@hrimthursheim well their prayer is pretty different which would would not match to what Sunni prayers. It's kind of like how Muslims can eat Kosher meat but Jews can't eat Halal meat.

all Muslims can pray every where even in Christian churches but some Shias and sunnis don't like to pray together
it's not forbidden but it's their choice
