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...

Extremely safe. I don't even feel a bit scared when going out to train or bus stations after midnight. I haven't been to areas that people think are "less safe." But I didn't hear any criminal events from there, either.

I love it and feel safe mostly. Also student friendly. Actually it's not that tourist place but ofcourse there are nice places to see. 1-2 day is enough to see everywhere. Its a small city you will be fine!!
Posted: December 20, 2025It’s mostly safe. But just like any place, it’s good to be aware of your surroundings. You do meet the occasional homeless and/or drunk person who might approach you, but I just ignore them and keep on walking.
Posted: December 8, 2025It's a pretty safe city if you avoid certain parts and troubled neighborhoods. It is generally safe to walk alone after dark, it's just better to mind your own business and be aware of your surroundings.

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.

Hello, my name is Barča! I’m 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.✨

Part-time introvert, sometimes chaotic explorer. I seem like an extrovert—until I’m at a party petting the dog for three hours. Obsessed with hiking “short, easy trails” (spoiler: they never are), road trips, mountain air, and getting lost in new places (while pretending I’m not). Awkward moments try to avoid me, yet somehow I’m their queen. Addicted to good coffee, great food, spontaneous adventures, and people with weird stories. Will hike for serotonin. Will talk for deep life conversations—or coffee. Will probably make a sarcastic comment if you compliment me. 🌈⛰️ IG: _nik_unknown_
