Security in Prague

Crime rates in Czech Republic are very low. The main concerns are related to illegal migrants, guest workers, and certain communities.

For tourists, the primary threat is pickpocket thieves, especially in crowded places such as train stations, airports, markets, major sights, and public transportation. To stay safe, it's advisable to keep your bag and wallet close to you.

It's important to be aware of false police officers on the streets of Prague. You can identify them by the fact that they may address you in literate Russian and request to see your documents without a valid reason. If they gain access to your passport, be cautious as they may attempt to demand a "ransom."
