I felt safe, nothing like harassment or robberies are common. You should be careful at crowded places though. You should go eat trdelník, visit Pražský hrad, Karlov bridge and go clubbing. I wouldn’t say the national cuisine is rather delicious, but apparently I wasn’t flabbergasted as I am Slavic. The public transport is great, you can have a ticket for subway, tram, bus all in one. It’s quick and comfortable as it is all over Europe. Easy to figure out which itinerary you need as there are boards with directions.

Prauge is fairly inexpensive when is comes to food costs, and me and my friend managed to find a hotel in central Prague for 200$ total for three nights for both of us. A must see-activity is the national museum in central Prague, where there’s historical motifs of the Second World War and artistic interpretations of Prague through out the time!

I felt very safe. The food was average, but we also did not eat local foods or researched where to eat. So that could probably been „our fault“. But it also wasn’t bad. The city was very beautiful. We walked a lot, but you could also use the local tram. It came very regularly and the tickets weren‘t expensive.

Prague: punctual trams, delicious Vietnamese food, cool bars & restaurants, and live music. A city that runs like clockwork, with a vibrant nightlife and cultural scene. Must-visit! ✨ Obs: if you are an artist, go buy your supplies! The price compared to other European countries is very accessible🎨

I live here my whole life and nothing happened to me. For me is my city and also country very safe. You can sometimes met some homeless or little bit drunk people but it's especially at night and they are not harmful. Just don't talk to them.

Prague

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
