Security in Prague

Criminality

Prague is a relatively safe town. You do not need to worry there, nobody will rob you with pistols in the streets. Anyway, there are pocket thieves in Prague, as in other big cities all over the world. Please take care of your personal things all the time! Do not carry your passport and/or money in the pocket of your knapsack, back pocket of your pants, or in other easily accessible places. Never leave your things unattended, even for a few seconds.
