You need to take care with the drunks and the drug addicts. The city is super safe, but some areas like the Main Train Station can be dangerous at night. Even inside of pubs, you need to take care with men: they are usually drunk and aggressive, and czech people don't understand much about respecting women's boundaries.

It’s multicultural and lots of friends from different parts of the world, ethnicities, races and genders have reported that they also feel safe here. It’s a university city so everything is pretty safe

About Me

I grew up in São Paulo, Brasil, where I lived almost all of my life. Almost 4 years ago I moved to Florianópolis, an island in the south of Brasil, to begin university and study International Relations. Now, I am currently living in Hradec Králové, Czech Republic, for a one year exchange program. I love slow travelling, meeting locals, knowing more than the touristic stuff and going to nature spots. I can't receive people where I live now because it is the dorms of my University, but you will have a place to stay in Brasil or wherever I am living after I move 💚
