Is it safe to walk in Prague at night?

Prague is safe to walk at night by the standards of any major European city, and the center is well-lit and populated until late. Stick to Staré Město (Old Town), Malá Strana, and Vinohrady and you will have no serious concerns. The main risks are petty: pickpockets around Wenceslas Square and the Old Town Square tourist strip, and overcharging taxi drivers if you hail a cab rather than use Bolt or Liftago. Wenceslas Square itself gets seedy after midnight, with persistent touts outside casinos and strip clubs, though it is not violent. Women walking alone report feeling generally comfortable, though the usual urban awareness applies. Avoid unlicensed money exchange booths regardless of the hour, as the scam runs around the clock. The metro stops running around midnight, after which trams on key night lines (marked 9xx) cover the city reliably. Carry a charged phone, use the apps, and Prague at night is a genuinely pleasant place to be.
