How safe is Prague?

Prague is generally a safe city, especially the city center since there is a lot of tourists. I wouldn’t recommend being in Zizkov area and in the main train station area after dark - many homeless people, some of them make you feel unsafe.

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.

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 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.

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.

I have been loving in Prague for two years now, and have never had a bad experience. I am of course vigilant and being safe and take precautions. However I have never experienced anything where someone would harass me ir won’t leave me alone after being asked to. As a girl going out alone at night I do feel quite safe

I would say Prague as a big city is safer than other big cities. Robberies are common but you can very well avoid them. Traveling alone at night is sometimes a bit scary. It is great to avoid dark and deserted places (at night when you are alone).

As a woman, safety is very important while traveling and I feel that Prague is a very safe place to be. As a woman I can walk by myself in the middle of the night and not worry about anything. Maybe a drunk person might ask you for money, but they won't do anything to you.

Prague its overall safe place to be, but be aware of pickpockets. - its been spoken that nightlife on Venceslav Squate is a bit dark, that after midnight you can find people selling dark things. - if you want to transfer your money to CZK, be aware of where there are dubious exchange offices and where you can lose a lot of money I recommend to view a YouTube canal “Kluci z Prahy”

Prague is generally a relatively safe city. So far I haven't had any problems day or night, but I avoid parks and dark places when I'm walking alone. Thefts are common in places with large concentrations of people. You just have to be a little careful.

Is Prague worth visiting?

I was in Prag and I felt really safe. We stayed in a hostel like 40 minutes from the city but it was really easy to go there by train and bus. Even at night they are great and you can experience the night life.

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♥️
