A safe city to walk by night, depends by the districts. Districts like Poruba, City Centre are safer, districts like Privoz, Dubina are less safe. Nights are calm, not crowded apart from weekends. While traveling by tram at night there’s a high posibility you’ll encounter a drunk person.
Posted: July 11, 2024If you don’t go to the areas which might be risky for a solo woman, you are almost completely safe I would say. It’s also about the time you are being outside. I wouldn’t recommend trying to discover city alone after 22:00

Ostrava is the third biggest city of Czech Republic and it’s probably lot safer than Prague. However, if you are a young woman, you will most likely get catcalled by strangers who are usually very drunk and loud. I don’t really feel safe walking in the city centre alone when it’s dark. I would recommend to avoid places without people.

during my trip to the "colours of ostrava" festival, me (f) and my partner (f) have experienced multiple rude and scary encounters with local czech people. as a woman, you are specifically subjected to random acts of verbal aggression. while this goes for all places in the world, i felt that the czech republic was especially bad. we were generally safe while using public transport at night. due to the festival, the time tables for public transport changed and we got lost on a tram one night - with limited access to proper translations, it was hard to find our way back to the hotel. the locals came across as unhelpful and generally happy to be left alone.
