How safe is Czech Republic for women?

Prague
I feel very safe in the city and also hiking in the Czech Republic. But Prague is a capital after all, so petty crime such as pickpocketing and vehicle thefts and break-ins occurs. Pay attention when taking a cab, especially at hotspots, unlicensed cabs often wait there. Ordered cabs, that is more reliable. When changing money on the street, foreigners may be given counterfeit money or banknotes of a much lower value by third parties. In bars and other establishments, bills may be increased and narcotics may be used, resulting in theft and occasionally sexual abuse.

I think, Pilsen isz really safe place, which is open for Tourismus. Yeah, we have some terrible places like in every city around the world. I love Pilsen!

During day time, I feel very safe walking alone pretty much anywhere here, but at night I wouldnt go to remote and unlit places alone and be careful about using the main bus station. Lot of alcoholics, homeless people etc

Frýdlant nad Ostravicí is extremely safe place. Little tiny town, not a tourist place unless for a hikers passing by to go to near by mountais. There's basically no night life, not a party place hence very safe even at nights.

It is a small and very calm town, so at night there is almost nobody outside. Therefore, it is not the best idea to go to a park or elsewhere alone. During the day, it is completely safe. The most dangerous parts are the park and streets around the train station.

Prague is very safe unless you are just unlucky with some bad people but overall its safe. I never had any bad incident in 4 years. Public transport is safe. You may meet few homeless but they are usually not dangerous.

The city Zlín has about 70 000 inhabitans. It is well connected with public transport and it is also managable to visit most of the places by foot. It is safe and I feel comfortable there walking at night alone.

The city itself is very nice and so are most of the people. There are a lot of tourists, however they do not usually approach people in the streets. Locals are kind and open to help if it is needed. I feel very safe living here.

Overall really safe, we are ranked as 10th safest country in the world, but even this is feel not good being alone outside during the night, but I have not worse experience than cat calling, so it is more about how I feel than how dangerous it is. But I still avoid some places, where I was informed by people that might not be safe…

Prague is very safe, just be careful around the main train station and Vaclavske namesti around the evening/night hours. Police is almost everywhere, but rather keep an eye on your pockets and handbags.

Prague, Solo travel
I really enjoyed Prague because it felt very small. I stayed in a hostel close to the old town so walking there at night felt very safe, don’t know if you’re more on the outskirts that it might feel different. Furthermore, it was a bit expensive and very crowded, but that is to be expected in august. Would recommend!

As a person who don't like the big cities, Prague really surprised me! It's so beautiful! The streets are colorful and wide. A lot of great parks: In Riegrovy Sady you can see the sunset In the huge park of the replica of Eiffel tower there is a part with a lot of apple and pear trees. 'Loving hut' it's a great cheap vegan restaurant that you pay by weight (30% off after 19:30) Lotsss of nature 20 minutes by train all around the city Lots of stuff to do and see♥️

I spent three days in Prague from Strasbourg. I travelled by direct overnight bus. It was quite practical and quite comfortable. I recommend climbing Colin Petrìn for a great view of Prague. Take the magnificent Saint Charles Bridge. Take a break and read a book in the Vojanovy Sady garden. The Museum of Modern Art is very interesting and there's a café nearby that I recommend: Ouky Douky café. I stayed in a youth hostel in Prague 2, Luma terra. It was very good.
