To be quite frank, Prague has gotten a bit worse since the Ukrainians arrived. Although most adults are well behaved, there are groups of them that love to just drink alcohol in front of convenience stores (potraviny) when it gets dark outside. Their children, however, are the major issue. Groups of 15-18 year olds hang out by playgrounds, drink and through empty beer and juice cand around, spray graffiti and randomly destroy the playgrounds. They came from a country that even before the war was horrible to a civilized place only to behave like they did back home in Ukraine

Despite the increased thefts, this city never ceases to please me. Thank you, Prague

They have real Fight Club in Prague Zizkov called Orion. You can come every day and fight the whole night on the street or in the club. It is even better than fights in the subway.

Michael, I think you are a bot. I've met at least six Ukrainians in Prague. Every one of them has a full time job, and they all speak Czech. Czech isn't very difficult for Ukrainians to learn as Czech, Ukrainian and Russian are all Slavic languages. Also, I've only met two Ukrainians who want to stay in Prague in the long term, but they've both been here since well before the war began.

michael so called war? come to Kharkiv, Bucha and see destroyed buildings many of which are residential and then you’ll open your mouth about «so called war» you fkn jеrk

The problem with crime in Prague are the Ukrainians. If it wasn't them the crime rate wouldn't raise. All they do is steal stuff and act innocent just because their country is in a so-called """"war"""". Czechs needs to do something about it and just kick them away, women are lazy and usually do prostitution, men do drugs and drink way too much. They don't even try to get adapted in Czech society (they don't want to learn the language, they don't work and thanks to them young Czechs have limited options of their own housing)

I think that some comments are non-sense. I live in Prague the fifth year now and it is one of the safest "bigger" cities, similar to Munich or Vienna. As a capital city, there could be some smaller problems with homeless people or drugs. Sometimes rude and drunk turists are problematic. Other cities in Czech Republic are even safer.

I read a lot of nonsense in the comments here, omg.

Lived in Prague for years, and it's a pretty safe place compared to most other countries.

Been in Prague on a business trip. Snorted some speed with two Ukrainians in a nightclub, then bought some coke and weed from black guys on the street. My colleague also banged a couple of hookers, was very positive experience, as he described it. Overall, very friendly and open city, have been walking with my colleague during the night (and we are just a couple of IT dorks) abd have never felt in danger. So, if you want to 420 and chill, go here!

I lived in Prague for 10 years. Banged out a lot of hot Czech chicks.

Is not safe at all.
I have seen lot a blood and fights in the Prague, even Police can be very brutal.
Especially metro(subway) and city center is bad.
Avoid fighting in metro if possible, because you can end up on rails crushed by train.
