Is Prague Safe for Women? Crime Rate in Prague

Prague is generally safe for girls, but watch out for pickpockets in busy tourist areas. Be cautious around the main railway station and nearby parks, as there can be drug addicts and homeless people who might be unpredictable. Otherwise, it’s a great city to explore comfortably on your own.

Prague despite being the capital of the Czech Republic is among the safest places you can visit. The worst things that ever happened to me (and I was a very stupid teenager with no sense of self preservation) was unwanted chats and invitations or people touching my hair when it was really long (sadly as we know, this usually affects younger girls, it got better as we aged). But as long as you enforce your boundaries, nothing’s going to happen. Be confident and don’t be afraid to be loud and you’ll be completely safe. The only thing you should be cautious about are tourist scams (check out Honest Guide on YouTube - taxis, exchanges) and I’ve heard pick pocketing is on the rise in Europe in general, though I have no experience with that. I know that after what I wrote it might seem scary, but it is actually rarely the case that anything bad will happen to you in Prague.

I’ve lived in Prague for 15 years and always felt very safe as a girl. Apart from one time my bag was stolen in the metro and a single uncomfortable encounter, I’ve never experienced anything serious. It’s a calm and safe city overall.

generally speaking, i would say prague is one of the safest cities in europe, I dont really feel in danger living here, only at night do i feel a bit uncomfortable as a woman but ive never been assalted or harmed in any way. as long as you keep your wits about you and you dont put youself into sketchy situations, you’ll be completely ok, maybe keep an eye out for scams and pickpockets, those are the most common types of petty crime in the city

I am living in Prague since 5 years, I am single so I do a lot of stuff alone including during the night time and i feel safe. Only need to be aware of you space like everywhere, there is some cat calling but mostly from tourists

i feel like prague is one of the safest places i've ever been to. of course you have to be careful at night but overall there is very low crime rate. there are hardly any kidnappings etc., max. some harassment of drunks or homeless people, but that's not common either:)

Group travel

I am traveling with my best friend and we stayed at the best spot Hostel. We had some problems with changing the money from euro to Krone but after that it was super nice to walk through the city and join a free tour. The food was also very nice and there were many different options to choose from😋

Family travel

I felt safe in Prague. I recommend going to a restaurant Čertovka there is the narrowest Street in Prague that leads you into this restaurant, the drinks are good there and the wiew is really pretty. I also recommend going to the Prague Castle, the wiew is amazing and the castle is really pretty.
