Is Prague a safe city ?
I would not say that crime rate in Prague is any higher in other big cities. But it always pays to be careful. Tourists are an easy target for pick pockets, especially on certain tram routes (nb. 22 running between Prague Castle and National Theatre is notorious). Metro ride at rush hour can also cost you if you stop paying attention. Most probably, you will have no problems at all, but it is sensible to take precautions – flashing out your wallet full of cash on the first day of your stay may come at a price. Most hotels will have safe deposit boxes and it is a good idea to use these. On the whole, though, Prague is quite a relaxed and welcoming city. Muggings at metro, for example, would be highly unusual. It feels safe and most of the time it is, too.
