Prague is a very safe place. I live here 10 years. You probably won't meet any drug dealers now. But even if you will, you won't feel unsafe, even drug dealers are polite here.

I spent 4+ years living in Prague. It is very safe city to live in. It's true that there is lot of petty thefts like pickpocketing and scams, but that's all. Biggest problem is probably corruption, otherwise crimes like assaults, armored robbery etc is almost none existing, at least in Prague. I would recommend Prague when it comes to the safeness.

The pick pockets in Prague are not subtle. Even when you give them a proper eyeball fucking they still try to approach you.

We were all fairly drunk, just walking around the city, being friendly. As we walked down the street, a group of locals approached us and one went in for a friendly hug and I, being drunk and friendly, went with it. I felt him reach into my back pocket for my wallet. Luckily I keep my wallet in my front pocket when I travel so there was nothing there, but I felt this and immediately pushed him away and started yelling.

Some gangs are selling drugs and most streets aren't safe at night. be careful.

The police have to be the most incompetent, and unpolite people i've met. I got robbed in my hotel and they did NOTHING. Some asian tourists were robbed as well. Pickpockets are EVERYWHERE and the city is dirty.

I've been living in Prague for two years and been in the streets, in pubs, and public transport day and night. Despite of the "danger" to meet drunken and therefore sometimes offensive people from every parts of the world it is safe. You have to bear in mind that this city is party paradise of Europe as nowhere else alcohol is so cheap and drugs are so easy to reach. But yes, I have to agree with Reggie in a certain way as Czech people are aware of the wealth gap between them and westerners. And, although it's going better and better every year there are still people who are going to find their way to cheat you. But hey - my Jewish Granfather said: "ignorance has to pay taxes!"

thats not truth, here in Prague a woman cannot walk in the night alone without meeting stalkers, junkies, perverz people etc. Many times I have been walkin in the night some junkies wanted to beat me because of the way I look or I met some guy masturbating in the bus station and I am not the only one who has that expirience, many inhabitants can approve this what I am saying!

Prague is generally fairly safe. Beware of pickpockets, taxi drivers cheating with fare and small money exchange offices that have very poor exchange rates and hidden fees despite showing a large "0%" on their ads. Other than that, just use a common sense and you will be fine.

Hi Reggie, I think you just have bad personal experience and I believe next time it will be better! I didn't hear anything like that from my foreign friends who are visiting Prague. You can meet people with bad intentions everywhere.... Also, I live in Prague and I think 32% crime rate is too overrated...Yes sometimes there are thefts in public transports or there are few places where I wouldn't go alone during night, but that's all... I am really wondering, how it's gonna be when I am going to visit city which has 80% ... Should I be worried or not ? haha ...
