Is Prague Safe for Solo Female Travelers?

Prague, being the capital city of the Czech Republic, is generally considered very safe for solo female travelers. The levels of crime are low with serious crimes like muggings and robbery being quite rare, especially in areas frequented by tourists. The city is well-lit and remains bustling until late in the night, making it safe to walk alone. The public transportation system is reliable, efficient, and operates round-the-clock in the city. Yet, like anywhere, it's always important to remain alert and aware of your surroundings for your personal safety. Also, it's suggested to prefer reputable taxi services or public transport rather than accepting rides from strangers.

How safe is Prague?

Safety at night:

Safety at night:Safe

Prague is considered fairly safe, especially in comparison to other major cities worldwide. However, general safety precautions should still be practiced, especially at night. Even though most neighborhoods are well-lit and patrolled by local police, avoid less crowded or residential areas late at night. Stick to main streets, ensure to always have a working phone and steer clear of obviously drunken groups or any other potential threats. Common minor issues reported are pick-pockets and scams targeting tourists.
Public transportation:

Public transportation:Safe

Prague's public transportation network, which includes the metro, trams, and buses, is generally safe and efficient. Many routes operate throughout the day and some even 24/7. The system is widely used by locals and tourists alike. However, as with any crowded public spaces, there are opportunities for pickpocketing, so it's still essential to remain aware of your surroundings and belongings at all times.
Street harassment:

Street harassment:Low

Prague in general is a safe city for solo female travelers. Street harassment is not frequently reported, although the experience might differ on an individual basis. It is always wise to stay cautious and aware of your surroundings, especially in less crowded areas and during the nighttime. Overall, respectful interactions and personal safety are generally well-maintained in the city of Prague.
Petty crimes:

Petty crimes:Low

Prague has a relatively low risk of petty crimes for solo female travelers. While the city is generally safe, occasional pick-pocketing incidents do occur in heavily crowded areas such as tourist hotspots and public transportation. However, by being aware of your surroundings and keeping your belongings secure, you can significantly minimize this risk. It is generally safe to walk around Prague both during the day and night, yet, it's always advisable to stick to well-lit, populated areas whenever possible.

Hi there! Writing this on the way back from my solo trip. First, I felt really safe, everyone was so lovely and chatty. Great experience for extroverts, as an introvert I surprisingly enjoyed it a lot. Random dancing, drinks, everyone laughing and having good fun made it feel like a movie. I stayed at SPIRIT capsule hotel near Ańdel. In my opinion location was great. Wasn’t too far from everything. I saw a lot of old and new town, national museum and the ZOO. Also went to Moonclub which I recommend!

Absolutely love Prague. It has such a great vibe, like a good old book. Btw, I recommend to visit a bookstore in the city center, “Shakespeare a synové”. The architecture is beautiful, public transport is useful and easy to use. People may seam bold, like i had an experience with rude waiters, but the city is save. A lot of tourists, ofc :)

One of my favorite trip. I was in Prague in the summer of 2023. I did feel safe, the food was great. There is a lot of food or dishes with meet so it’s a little bit harder to eat for a vegetarian (one of my friend who i travelled with). I think you can see anything you want in 3-4 days. We lived in a host for student and it was tolerable, maybe too far from the city centre. I recommend to see the little attractions too like the infinity book tower, not just the monuments.

My trip to Prague was very safe. The transportation in the city is great and it's easy to get around - I went by both trams and metro. The tickets were easy to purchase and objectively cheap - I recommend buying the weekend option with the app. Local people are really kind, especially the ones working in museums and art galleries. Whenever they saw that I was by myself they were delighted to see someone interested in art in history and gave me so many helpful tips. Overall fantastic trip, I would totally recommend it for a first solo destination.

we traveled to prague with my family for a weekend, we might just not have done enough research but as a gallery-enthusiasist, there werent a lot of big galleries, but I loved it still. The whole city seemed really slow, chill and quit, it was amazing. I had to study a bit, and for that I went to the vojanovy sady I loved that park, but the island and other parks were stunning, and overall clean as well

It was a place where I felt safe, and it was very lively at night. Restaurants were common and easy to find, but reservations were necessary. It’s not an overly expensive city; there are affordable options. It was a one-day trip, so I didn’t stay overnight. Transportation was suitable for walking, but we used public transport to get to the castle.

The accommodation was pretty cheap, got an Airbnb for 4 people in the city center for like 40 euros per person for 2 nights. Pretty sweet deal huh? Food was also really cheap, and quite similar to Franconia’s cuisine. Prague is just beautiful, every street every corner. We did a pretty touristy trip and it was nice

I stayed 17 days at the Drunken Monkey hostel in Prague. It's clean, the Ned's are good, and the price is fair, but the kitchen is not equipped. The location is great! Prague is beautiful and safe, I love the location food

Prague feels super safe to me — I can walk around at night and not worry about anything happening. Sometimes you might get catcalled, but honestly, that’s only happened to me like five times in the three years I’ve lived in Prague.
