How safe is Prague?

In mornings and afternoons it feels safe, but I wouldn’t go out at night alone. But when I’m with my friends (even if it’s only girls) it’s okay. Just keep in mind that there’s a lot of pickpockets in center and touristic places.

I felt very comfortable walking around the city. I stayed at OneFam hostel in the city Center and it was very nice. The people were friendly and I would all in all recommend going to this city. The architecture is breathtaking

Although there are quite a lot of freaky people on the streets especially in some neighbourhoods, they are usually not dangerous at all Overalls, I feel safe going home at night and I believe it’s nothing to worry about

I think Prague is very safe for solo traveling women! There are certain districts I would avoid, especially at night, like Smíchov, Vršovice, Jižní město, and Karlín, and be more careful around the old town area (mainly for pickpockets). But compared to other major European cities, Prague has a pretty low crime index and has very high peace index (ranking twelve globally)

the center is very safe, beware of muggings or scams (the usual). dont get into conflicts with drunk or suspicious people. usually if you mind your own business everythings going to be fine. avoid desolate places if you are on your own. and the further you go from the centre the more weird people you meet (usually completely harmless though). would recommend pepper spray if you feel safer with it. in nicer neighborhoods i dont feel alfraid walking alone in the dark. other places are a bit more sketchy, but as a tourist you probably will never visit them.

İ think Pragur is one of the safest cities in general. People are mostly respecting you and your space, they don’t talk to strangers that much and everyone is living their life. On the other side even i feel safe in Prague there are here and there some problematic people at night as drunk or homeless people. But most of the streets are safe as there are a lots of lamps as well the public transportation.

My experience in Prague is very good. I feel safe walking on the streets, even at night. The transport is also safe. I had no problems with harassment or anything like that. Prague is beautiful. Really

Prague is a very safe city for woman. During the day there is basically no need to be scared or stressed at all. After dark I usually get more cautious but the public transport is very safe and when you just avoid weird people and places they gather up at, you are completely safe here!

I think that this is probably a very great space to visit, and when you are not exposing yourself into deep areas without light and other people, you'll be okay here. Think smart and enjoy holidays here

I was with my friends for a bachelorette and loved it and we actually felt very safe. But stares here and there but other wise it was a good visit for sure. Absolutely enjoyed the experience there.

Is Prague worth visiting?

Travel rating

Family travel

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.
