Group travel experience

In July 2022 I travelled with my Friends to prague ( a group of 5 girls). We stayed in an airbnb not in the Center of prague, but by foot I think 30 min. far away. It was really nice, we visited different attractions such as musuems or architectural buildings. In the evening we went to a club almost every Night. I felt really safe, many friendly people are outside, even if its really late. The only thing that bothered us a lil bit, was the weather. One day it was so hot, that we had to stay inside our airbnb, because it was too warm outside.

Solo travel experience

Prague was indeed a very safe city. It was easy to get around, but since the tourist attractions were close to each other, I hardly used any public transportation, so I ended up walking a bit too much.I stay one night there. I enjoyed beautiful views of the city from the Powder Tower and Prague Castle. The Charles Bridge looked very beautiful with its statues. I spent half a day at Prague Castle and St. Vitus Cathedral.

Family travel experience

I felt extremely safe and free to travel alone in Prague, and with my family. It was safe to walk alone any time of day or night, and when I felt tired, I was able to use the Uber app to get a very inexpensive ride despite not speaking Czech. The city is very old and very walkable. There's a lot to see and explore - and most shops and sites have English-speaking people who can help. We stayed in an Airbnb in the most touristy part of town, but it wasn't too noisy or crowded. Would highly recommend for anyone looking for a new experience.

Family travel experience

Prager is a wonderful City in the Czech Republik to visit for a City trip! It has a beautiful city Center, with amazing historical architecture and history. Also it's a very international city and I liked the varierity of options to do. In summer and in colder times you can do a lot. Prague castle, Karlsbridge, Petrin tower, a walk through the city Center, visit Franz Kafka museum and jewish Quarter, to take a ride on the boat in the Moldau river are and to go to the prague Zoo is what I enjoyed very much and I can suggest everyone to do.

My experience in Prague as a solo traveler for the first time was really lovely. I met other solo travelers and we did some activities together like paint balls and walking around the city. It was quite affordable. And I felt safe even at night.

I think that Prague is a really safe city. It is also easy and affordable to find accommodation. Also the food is amazing to, i would suggest to try to research before you come here for restaurants. The main attractions are also impressive but beware that they can be expensive. I would definitely visit again 10/10

Solo travel experience

As a solo traveler, I visited Prague in February 2024. The city was calm and not crowded because of the time of year, but I am sure it would be great in summer too (maybe better in summer for those who want to experience nightlife, etc.). My purpose was to have a relaxing and chill holiday, so I loved this magical city in winter too. I felt safe most of the time, but I suggest being careful of thieves. I found it strange that some odd-looking men tried to speak with me on certain streets (especially the street where the sex museum is located).

I lived in Prague from February 2022 to August 2023, and I absolutely loved it! Even though I don’t speak Czech, I managed to get by with English quite well. Prague is an incredibly cosmopolitan city with numerous international companies that employ people from all over the world. I joined a social network called Internations, which made it very easy to meet people from various backgrounds. They organize a variety of activities like cocktails, brunches, hikes, movie nights, and stand-up comedy shows. I also went out dancing a lot with my friends because there are great venues for people my age. In fact, I socialized with colleagues ranging from 21 years old to my age! Everyone was super open and friendly. Safety was never a concern for me, even when going out at night. The city's public transportation is excellent! If you’re visiting, I highly recommend getting a pass because it's totally worth it. There's so much to see in Prague, especially in the city center. Make sure you don’t miss Vysehrad, a stunning site that’s often overlooked by tourists. Also, try to visit the neighborhoods of Vinohrady and Jiřího z Poděbrad for some great food and beers.

As a woman, safety is very important while traveling and I feel that Prague is a very safe place to be. As a woman I can walk by myself in the middle of the night and not worry about anything. Maybe a drunk person might ask you for money, but they won't do anything to you.

Prague its overall safe place to be, but be aware of pickpockets. - its been spoken that nightlife on Venceslav Squate is a bit dark, that after midnight you can find people selling dark things. - if you want to transfer your money to CZK, be aware of where there are dubious exchange offices and where you can lose a lot of money I recommend to view a YouTube canal “Kluci z Prahy”

Local tips

Everyone comming to Prague welcome! I have been living in Prague on an intern school for two years now so I gained some experience through that time. Prague is a beautiful city full of amazing architecture, galleries, views and even parks and playgrounds. As a student of Graphic Design and Restoration I would recommend you to visit National Gallery of Prague, it has four buildings, Štenberk palace, Schwanzenberg palace, Fair Trade Palace and The St Agnes Convent. In case you would like to know more about its collections don’t hesitate to contact me! Regarding safety, I have to say I have never experienced any kind of trouble and I always felt quite safe since there are always many people around when you stay in the centre. However be careful at the Main Station Park, there are plenty of people passing through, however it’s quite usual that some homeless people are around that place or on the banks.

Yes, Prague is very safe for women. It’s the safest capital I have ever visited, I would say, and it has ranked as one of the safest cities in the world. I live quite near the city center, in Karlín, and I have many times safely walked at night, around midnight, throught the whole city center, including Venceslas Square, where many pubs and clubs are located. I was given some looks, but other than that, noone dared talk to me. From time to time you will of course stumble across some drunk tourists - guys from the Netherlands, Denmark etc on their stag trips who might want to get your attention, but simply denying or ignoring them should be fine. And there will always be someone to help you, passerby, waitress at the club, etc.
