As a person who don't like the big cities, Prague really surprised me! It's so beautiful! The streets are colorful and wide. A lot of great parks: In Riegrovy Sady you can see the sunset In the huge park of the replica of Eiffel tower there is a part with a lot of apple and pear trees. 'Loving hut' it's a great cheap vegan restaurant that you pay by weight (30% off after 19:30) Lotsss of nature 20 minutes by train all around the city Lots of stuff to do and see♥️

I really enjoyed Prague because it felt very small. I stayed in a hostel close to the old town so walking there at night felt very safe, don’t know if you’re more on the outskirts that it might feel different. Furthermore, it was a bit expensive and very crowded, but that is to be expected in august. Would recommend!

I spent three days in Prague from Strasbourg. I travelled by direct overnight bus. It was quite practical and quite comfortable. I recommend climbing Colin Petrìn for a great view of Prague. Take the magnificent Saint Charles Bridge. Take a break and read a book in the Vojanovy Sady garden. The Museum of Modern Art is very interesting and there's a café nearby that I recommend: Ouky Douky café. I stayed in a youth hostel in Prague 2, Luma terra. It was very good.

You can do most of Prague by foot, but there is public transportation also. Lovely city, lots of things to do / see. It's okay to only speak English in the Prague city but not in the overall country (but you can try to translate using an app, people are friendly)

Prague is one of my favorite cities that's why I chose to return here. The vibe of the city and some part of it, always reminds me home, so i feel special here. The prices went up but it's still cheaper than other Central European countries and West/South. There's so much to see and experience

Group travel

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.

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

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.

I feel very safe in the city and also hiking in the Czech Republic. But Prague is a capital after all, so petty crime such as pickpocketing and vehicle thefts and break-ins occurs. Pay attention when taking a cab, especially at hotspots, unlicensed cabs often wait there. Ordered cabs, that is more reliable. When changing money on the street, foreigners may be given counterfeit money or banknotes of a much lower value by third parties. In bars and other establishments, bills may be increased and narcotics may be used, resulting in theft and occasionally sexual abuse.

Prague is very safe unless you are just unlucky with some bad people but overall its safe. I never had any bad incident in 4 years. Public transport is safe. You may meet few homeless but they are usually not dangerous.

I was living in Prague as a colage student for a few year. Prague overall could be a very nice city. It's really famous so it can be crowded cometimes. For visiting I would recomend a calmer months, such as winter, autumn. But be careful cause weather in here can be very tricky (rainy autumn, cold winter...). The most full are of course weekends. Better is to avoid main turistic spots (but I usually pass them daily, just need to count with the crowds and pocket thiefs). Prague is safer than ither big cities, but it could be dangerous a bit at night (avoid dark and abandoned places).

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.
