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: punctual trams, delicious Vietnamese food, cool bars & restaurants, and live music. A city that runs like clockwork, with a vibrant nightlife and cultural scene. Must-visit! ✨ Obs: if you are an artist, go buy your supplies! The price compared to other European countries is very accessible🎨

Solo travel

I went to Prague with the DiscoverEu programme and at first i was a bit disappointed because it was rainy and the city seemed depressing but once i started exploring it i thought it was truly a gem. There are so many fun things to do that are not very crowded and felt so safe and fun. I was there mid august and the streets were full but i managed to find less crowded places to go to. The pride parade was in that period and I must say it was very chill. Some people struggle with English a bit but technology evolved thankfully. Definitely try some traditional food (and beer but of course responsibly) It’s an amazing city with a lot of history. My experiences there are not those usual experiences in Prague but it is truly beautiful and it has a lot of charm.

I would recommend Prague, I went there with some friends and I really loved it. It's a very cute city with a lot to do in summer. The city felt safe (as safe as a capital could be, I guess) ! The good wasn't the best I had, but I'm glad I got to discover some new things:)

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.

Prague is the safest city I've lived in and I can 100% say that I never feel unsafe. Of course, I don't walk through parks or unlit alleys at night (anywhere I go), but Prague is one of the safest cities in Europe and I can vouch for that.
