Felt safe walking around into the night hours, transit was busy but easy to use, took tours of the city learning so much history. Cannot recommend enough but be prepared for cobblestones.

Solo travel experience

Prague is one of my favorite cities in Europe. I never felt unsafe there when I was exploring the city alone. I recommend spending a day exploring the castle and going to St. Vitus at sunset - the way the sun hits the stained glass windows before dusk is magical. Had a great dinner at the Prague Medieval Tavern. Also walked around the town square, drank a lot of hot wine, and took a tour to the nearby town of Kutna Hora to see The Bone Church.

Prague is an all in all beautiful city with great old architecture wherever u look. If u like to walk u can see All famous attractions within one day. I went in July it was too full and too hot for long walks u should consider that. And everything is overpriced. Some places like the goldenes Gässchen and Jewish cemetery are all closed and u have to pay to see them which is sad coz they didn’t let me in with dog so I couldn’t see them. In most places u can pay with euro or visa. It was lovely there but too many people and too overpriced.

Family travel experience

I have travelled accross Europe, yet I will not hesitate to say Prague is the best city I've ever been to. Saint Petersburg is more beautiful; Paris is more impressive; Berlin has a better nightlife. Yet I have never felt happier, safer, more alive than in Prague. I've been half a dozen times already and I plan to come again and again. Everything in this city simply works: it is big just enough, loud just enough, touristy just enough. You want music - it has the most amazing jazz bars you'll ever see. You want sightseeing - the Prazsky Hrad castle, the Synagogue, the Staromestka namesty, Vysegrad, the Dancing House and don't get me started on the dozens and hundreds of castles accross the Czech Republic. You want amazing food - be my guest (and when you're done with the meat and the beer, it also has the most amazing Asian restaurants you'll ever see outside of Asia). You want drinks and nightlife - you'll have plenty. Even the people - or so it seems - are more alive, and smiling, and awake.

Solo travel experience

I felt really really safe in Prague, even walking alone at night, as long as in the main area of town. Kutna Hora was a cool day trip - they have this crazy church there made of thousands and thousands of bones. Super crazy and weird but interesting to see.

Solo travel experience

I was in Prague for Christmas. Definitely safe for a solo female. The food and drinks at the markets were so cheap so it was a great place to end up for lunch/dinner. Everything is pretty close in Prague so I recommend trying to stay somewhere central/walking distance of the center of town. I stayed a bit out of the main city and that was my main regret of the trip.

Group travel experience

Prague is such a beautiful place to be in due to its architecture. There are plenty of historical buildings you can visit, and it depends on where you would like to spend your money on. The food prices are slightly pricey, but the quality is not bad!

I’m looking forward to meeting you all, to have a walk, climb a mountain, or to have a drink and chill :) peace !

About me

Hi! My name is Jordan, I was born and raised in the USA, California to be exact. For the past 7 years I have been living in Suzhou, China teaching English and traveling when I had the chance (Covid times made this a bit more difficult for a few years). I have now just recently (3 weeks ago) moved to Prague, Czech Republic. I will also be teaching here. I come from a family who loves to travel. As I am writing this my mom and brother are actually in Ireland traveling around right now. Since I live abroad I tend to travel at different times than my family sometimes though, but I’m okay with that because I do love to solo travel and meet people along the way. I hope we can meet up somewhere around this world soon
