How safe is Ostrava?

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.

If 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.

Couple travel

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.

About Me

I’d love to make ladies friends from all around the world :) It’s so healthy to connect like this. I appreciate realnes and authenticity rather than social status, looks, hobbies or perfection. Sometimes it’s good to just eat, talk and giggle together :)) I’m like 53% extroverted - love connection but than need to unwind on my own for a while. I work as the natural pre-school education coordinator, so I have free summers which I usually spend in Scandinavia. In the cities I like some alternative art, movies, concerts, interesting communities or neighbourhoods, suistainable gems etc. In nature I like to stare at waterfalls, rivers or the sea, forage wild herbs, sit around the wildfire and just exist.
