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.

Prague is quite safe city, you have to take care of your things mainly in crowded placec and in bar. The criminality is very low. Its safe to walk alone in the night a a woman. But care for your phone and wallet mostly.

I can walk alone at night in the centre and nothing happens, no one approaches me, ofc i try to be in the streets where there is a lot of people, but even if i’m in some back streets i still feel safe so i think that’s a good thing. Nothing bad has ever happened to me in Prague, except for some drunkies speaking to me every now and then.

Some parts of Prague are safe at night, some are dangerous even during the day. There are also large parks with no lighting that I wouldn't go into at night. On the other hand, way around the Vltava River, I wouldn't be afraid there even at night. It is lit, there are local restaurants in places and they tend to have beautiful decorations. I consider the center of Prague to be generally safe. It's lit up everywhere, you can see a homeless person sometimes, but they're mostly lying around and sleeping. The drunks are usually tourists.

I think the Czech Republic is safe, but like in any country, there can always be some crazy person. I believe it’s mostly about being in the right place at the right time. Personally, I’ve never felt in danger, and I’ve been living in Prague for 22 years.

Obviously sometimes bad things happen but nothing never happened to me so i would say be careful but not too much worried. In public take care of your purse and things that someone can take. And dont go out alone after 10pm or at least to some places. Maybe dont visit night clubs much if you dont want men trying to take you home or drug you.

Feels safer than other european cities. preferably stay out of andel, palmovka, vysocany. Be careful at night because a lot of people smoke weed and can be unpredictable. But in generally Prague feels safe both day and night

Prague is really safe, when you don’t go to places known to drug addicts/junkees. Personally, nothing has ever happend to me accept some men catcalling me, but overall Prague is really safe, and well monitored by the police.

Is Prague worth visiting?

Travel rating

4.7 /5

Solo travel

I felt really safe in Prague. Even though it got dark very early, I enjoyed walking around the city alone in the evenings, even in the less touristy areas. It was super easy to get around using public transport. You just have to remember to stamp your ticket. (;

Couple travel

Soo first things first. Food was good 👍🏻 - But I hab to admit since the famous Christmas market was open, it was very crowded - in the city center you could not even walk through properly. - For my shopping queens 👸 is it a nice destination; not too expensive - watch out for tourist traps - some restaurants in the city center will charge a lot and the food is not even as good. - So if you do your research before the trip, you will have a good and also cultural enriching experience in Prague. 😇
