Prague, Family travel

My trip to Prague was very safe. The transportation in the city is great and it's easy to get around - I went by both trams and metro. The tickets were easy to purchase and objectively cheap - I recommend buying the weekend option with the app. Local people are really kind, especially the ones working in museums and art galleries. Whenever they saw that I was by myself they were delighted to see someone interested in art in history and gave me so many helpful tips. Overall fantastic trip, I would totally recommend it for a first solo destination.

Pardubice, Family travel

A chateau and a castle, lovely riverside cycle path, very few tourists. The nightlife seems decent, but if you want to get into the hills you have to go somewhere else- it is pretty muh pan flat around here apart from the castle on the hill!

Prague, Family travel

we traveled to prague with my family for a weekend, we might just not have done enough research but as a gallery-enthusiasist, there werent a lot of big galleries, but I loved it still. The whole city seemed really slow, chill and quit, it was amazing. I had to study a bit, and for that I went to the vojanovy sady I loved that park, but the island and other parks were stunning, and overall clean as well

Prague, Group travel

It was a place where I felt safe, and it was very lively at night. Restaurants were common and easy to find, but reservations were necessary. It’s not an overly expensive city; there are affordable options. It was a one-day trip, so I didn’t stay overnight. Transportation was suitable for walking, but we used public transport to get to the castle.

Prague, Group travel

The accommodation was pretty cheap, got an Airbnb for 4 people in the city center for like 40 euros per person for 2 nights. Pretty sweet deal huh? Food was also really cheap, and quite similar to Franconia’s cuisine. Prague is just beautiful, every street every corner. We did a pretty touristy trip and it was nice

I stayed 17 days at the Drunken Monkey hostel in Prague. It's clean, the Ned's are good, and the price is fair, but the kitchen is not equipped. The location is great! Prague is beautiful and safe, I love the location food

Prague, Couple travel

The city was so pretty and safe. The hotel and the restaurants were cheaper than other cities in Europe. At the hotel, we had free breakfast and I think it’s normal in Prague. I recommend too all of you to go to Prague and visit the beautiful city.

Rudná

Rudná si safe and I live on the side of town more in nature than the typical urban area. But if you venture not far to the capital Prague, to some dark alley at late hours..yes i feel unsafe. Not that i have ever been targeted, just that I’m worried. Yk our capital has a problem with homelessness rate but which doesn’t :c But here in Rudná its more of a Rarity. Yes some men have urges to cat call you for some reason while being drunk once in a while but its not common or anything. Most (like 98% of cases Its totally normal things)
