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.

I think Ostrava is a safe city in the Czech Republic. At night you can meet few people on the street and usually the streets are always lit. Therefore you can consider it a nice and not dangerous city.
Posted: April 23, 2025Well, Ostrava people rate the safety here very low. However, I think its getting better and better, you just have to be careful as in any other big city. For example Přívoz or Dubina are a little bit more dangerous, so as a tourist I wouldn’t go there. On the other hand most of the city centre or Poruba are really nice

Hi! I’m Lucie, I’m 21 and I live in the Czech Republic. I study medicine (at least I’m trying🥲) . I love to travel, and for the past 2 years I’ve been falling in love with Portugal?! It’s like I have left my soul there, when I walked the Santiago de Compostela route with my best friend. Anyways I love photography, literature, movies, just anything, I love to learn about new things☺️.

Hello, my name is Baru! I’m Czech girl who loves to travel and meet new people. 😊 I’m constantly looking for travel buddies because my friends don’t like to travel haha. So I decided to do it alone. I’m down to almost anything, I’m very spontaneous and adventurous and love a good adrenaline rush. Fun fact is that I lived for a year in Taiwan so I have a lots of funny stories to tell. ✨

I’d love to make ladies friends from all around the world :) It’s so healthy to connect like this. I appreciate realnes and authenticity rather than social status, looks, hobbies or perfection. Sometimes it’s good to just eat, talk and giggle together :)) I’m like 53% extroverted - love connection but than need to unwind on my own for a while. I work as the natural pre-school education coordinator, so I have free summers which I usually spend in Scandinavia. In the cities I like some alternative art, movies, concerts, interesting communities or neighbourhoods, suistainable gems etc. In nature I like to stare at waterfalls, rivers or the sea, forage wild herbs, sit around the wildfire and just exist.
