How safe is Prague?

Prague is a really safe city. You don’t have to worry that someone will steal your wallet or phone. I very rarely witness that someone even argues at the streets. In the evening don’t worry about being kidnapped or worried, just some disgusting smell might be (because of ☘️ and homeless people) and that’s it

I have never experienced anything beside cat calling, those happened to me in every country (unfortunately) Over all if you don’t give the noice too much thought you wont be worried, mostly nothing is about you anyway, people are just annoying.

Prague is a very safe city with low violent crime. Watch out for pickpockets in tourist areas and occasional scams from taxis or exchange offices. In the center, you might encounter homeless people or street performers behaving oddly, but they’re usually harmless. Public transport and walking around, even at night, are generally safe. Solo female travelers can feel comfortable with standard precautions.

Prague feels super safe to me — I can walk around at night and not worry about anything happening. Sometimes you might get catcalled, but honestly, that’s only happened to me like five times in the three years I’ve lived in Prague.

Pretty city for visit and holidays. Beautiful nature and good food. Would recommend walking around and enjoying the view rather then public transport. There’s some nice parks and monuments. Hope u enjoy your stay

As a girl i felt very safe in prague. I traveled in low season even if the streets were empty it was safe. The people there are nice and the public transports very safe. Overall it was very comfortable for me to walk there and I didn’t worry for pickpockets like i did in other cities in europe

Prague’s pretty chill and safe, even if you’re out alone at night. Just keep an eye on your stuff, especially in touristy spots. Use Bolt or Uber instead of random taxis—they can be sketchy. Most locals are polite and won’t bother you, but if something feels weird, trust your gut and dip. Public transport’s solid too, even late.

I feel very safe walking around Prague. It is the safest I have felt in any country. Transit is used by many people. Metro stations are well lit. I haven’t heard of instances of pickpocketing. People tend to keep to themselves and do not disturb you.

Prague is safe city. Maybe in the city centre it is worse, but it is only because of tourists and you can't interfere with this. They are sometimes loud and can be dangerous. But local people are sweet, calm, always ready to help. Don't worry about getting lost!

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 didn’t feel safe all the time, but I really liked my experience there. This city is extremely beautiful, has unique architecture. The prices surprised me, I expected them to be lower, but it’s acceptable. I really like the food - especially the meat and the beer

Hi there! Writing this on the way back from my solo trip. First, I felt really safe, everyone was so lovely and chatty. Great experience for extroverts, as an introvert I surprisingly enjoyed it a lot. Random dancing, drinks, everyone laughing and having good fun made it feel like a movie. I stayed at SPIRIT capsule hotel near Ańdel. In my opinion location was great. Wasn’t too far from everything. I saw a lot of old and new town, national museum and the ZOO. Also went to Moonclub which I recommend!
