How safe is Prague?

Safety at night:Safe

Prague is considered fairly safe, especially in comparison to other major cities worldwide. However, general safety precautions should still be practiced, especially at night. Even though most neighborhoods are well-lit and patrolled by local police, avoid less crowded or residential areas late at night. Stick to main streets, ensure to always have a working phone and steer clear of obviously drunken groups or any other potential threats. Common minor issues reported are pick-pockets and scams targeting tourists.

Public transportation:Safe

Prague's public transportation network, which includes the metro, trams, and buses, is generally safe and efficient. Many routes operate throughout the day and some even 24/7. The system is widely used by locals and tourists alike. However, as with any crowded public spaces, there are opportunities for pickpocketing, so it's still essential to remain aware of your surroundings and belongings at all times.

Street harassment:Low

Prague in general is a safe city for solo female travelers. Street harassment is not frequently reported, although the experience might differ on an individual basis. It is always wise to stay cautious and aware of your surroundings, especially in less crowded areas and during the nighttime. Overall, respectful interactions and personal safety are generally well-maintained in the city of Prague.

Petty crimes:Low

Prague has a relatively low risk of petty crimes for solo female travelers. While the city is generally safe, occasional pick-pocketing incidents do occur in heavily crowded areas such as tourist hotspots and public transportation. However, by being aware of your surroundings and keeping your belongings secure, you can significantly minimize this risk. It is generally safe to walk around Prague both during the day and night, yet, it's always advisable to stick to well-lit, populated areas whenever possible.

Prague is the perfect destination for a quick solo trip. The city is very clean and well-maintained, most attractions are close to each other. I recommend seeing the Hradcany hill with the cathedral and castle, there is a great national museum where you can spend even a whole day (e.g. when it rains) and take a cruise on the river. The market square is beautiful and cozy, perfect for walking, and the city itself is safe, I did not feel any anxiety walking alone.

I felt really safe traveling alone but since I went during winter it was difficult to explore the city at night because of the cold weather and the sun early setting time. Nevertheless, it was a pretty city, I really loved the old part of the city and the museums, cemeteries and parks I visited, I really recommend you to travel alone and enjoy such a peaceful experience.

I didn’t feel safe all the time, but I really liked my experience there. This city is extremely beautiful, has unique architecture. The prices surprised me, I expected them to be lower, but it’s acceptable. I really like the food - especially the meat and the beer

Hi there! Writing this on the way back from my solo trip. First, I felt really safe, everyone was so lovely and chatty. Great experience for extroverts, as an introvert I surprisingly enjoyed it a lot. Random dancing, drinks, everyone laughing and having good fun made it feel like a movie. I stayed at SPIRIT capsule hotel near Ańdel. In my opinion location was great. Wasn’t too far from everything. I saw a lot of old and new town, national museum and the ZOO. Also went to Moonclub which I recommend!

Absolutely love Prague. It has such a great vibe, like a good old book. Btw, I recommend to visit a bookstore in the city center, “Shakespeare a synové”. The architecture is beautiful, public transport is useful and easy to use. People may seam bold, like i had an experience with rude waiters, but the city is save. A lot of tourists, ofc :)

I think it's pretty safe, unlike other states, but it's probably dangerous on the hlavni nadrazi or in more places like that. As a girl, I don't feel safe anywhere, but I have to know how to fight. So

Nina

About Me

Hi! My name is Nina and during the winter Im a guide in Finland, and when the season ends I like to travel around. I don’t follow a strict plan or schedule, preferring to go with whatever feels right. I’m always open to spontaneous trips and ideas. My main interests are sports (including rock climbing, hiking, surfing, snowboarding...). Even though I enjoy adrenaline-filled outdoor activities, I also find peace in art and crafts. I enjoy spending rainy days crocheting or drawing. You’ll often see me with a camera, as I love documenting my adventures. I like to go out and have fun with friends or meet new people along the way but I don’t drink alcohol or smoke. I also have a driver license so we can make a road trip. If any of this sounds good to you then im looking forward meeting you✨
