Prague, Solo travel

Prague felt mostly safe, although very crowded! The christmas markets were cool. I stayed in an all women’s hostel that was right in old town and quite nice, would definitely recommend staying there! You will enjoy if you are an architecture buff or enjoy history! I can’t comment on the party scene but I hear that it is also good.

Prague, Group travel

I was in Prag and I felt really safe. We stayed in a hostel like 40 minutes from the city but it was really easy to go there by train and bus. Even at night they are great and you can experience the night life.

Prague, Solo travel

As a person who don't like the big cities, Prague really surprised me! It's so beautiful! The streets are colorful and wide. A lot of great parks: In Riegrovy Sady you can see the sunset In the huge park of the replica of Eiffel tower there is a part with a lot of apple and pear trees. 'Loving hut' it's a great cheap vegan restaurant that you pay by weight (30% off after 19:30) Lotsss of nature 20 minutes by train all around the city Lots of stuff to do and see♥️

Prague, Solo travel

I really enjoyed Prague because it felt very small. I stayed in a hostel close to the old town so walking there at night felt very safe, don’t know if you’re more on the outskirts that it might feel different. Furthermore, it was a bit expensive and very crowded, but that is to be expected in august. Would recommend!

Prague, Solo travel

I spent three days in Prague from Strasbourg. I travelled by direct overnight bus. It was quite practical and quite comfortable. I recommend climbing Colin Petrìn for a great view of Prague. Take the magnificent Saint Charles Bridge. Take a break and read a book in the Vojanovy Sady garden. The Museum of Modern Art is very interesting and there's a café nearby that I recommend: Ouky Douky café. I stayed in a youth hostel in Prague 2, Luma terra. It was very good.

Ostrava, Couple travel

during my trip to the "colours of ostrava" festival, me (f) and my partner (f) have experienced multiple rude and scary encounters with local czech people. as a woman, you are specifically subjected to random acts of verbal aggression. while this goes for all places in the world, i felt that the czech republic was especially bad. we were generally safe while using public transport at night. due to the festival, the time tables for public transport changed and we got lost on a tram one night - with limited access to proper translations, it was hard to find our way back to the hotel. the locals came across as unhelpful and generally happy to be left alone.

You can do most of Prague by foot, but there is public transportation also. Lovely city, lots of things to do / see. It's okay to only speak English in the Prague city but not in the overall country (but you can try to translate using an app, people are friendly)

Pilsen

Pilsen used to be more dangerous at night at certain parts in a city center. Streets Americká and Klatovská is not the best place to stay at night - i remember that people from other countries (ukraine) used to attack each other at streets and in the bars.. This was a few years ago, i dont live in city center but on the outskirts, i feel 100% safe here. And the center at night - i think its safer but i have no reason to go there at night.

Prague

I think Prague is overall a very safe city to be in. Of course, there are parts that are less safe than others, but I would not be worried about a big crime there. The only thing I’d pay attention to are pickpockets, but again, compared to other bigger cities, it is still very uncommon.
