Travel safety in Prague, Czechia

Is Prague safe to visit right now? (September 2026)

Both advisories on this page are issued for Czechia as a whole, not for Prague specifically.

The United States and the United Kingdom both publish travel advice at country level, so what follows describes Czechia rather than Prague on its own. Neither government rates individual cities.

What the advice says

  • The US State Department rates Czechia at Level 1, Exercise Normal Precautions, and this is a country-level advisory, not specific to Prague.
  • UK travel advice notes that terrorist attacks in Czechia cannot be ruled out and encourages travelers to stay aware of their surroundings in public places.
  • Petty theft and pickpocketing are described as problems in major tourist areas, including on busy metro and bus routes from the airport, on trams, and near popular sights like Prague Castle.
  • Travelers should be cautious of people posing as plainclothes police officers who ask to see currency and passports; the advice is not to show money and instead offer to go to the nearest police station or call 112.
  • Drink spiking is flagged as a risk in bars and clubs, so travelers are advised not to accept drinks from strangers or leave drinks unattended.
  • Carrying a passport at all times is a legal requirement, and police may fine or arrest travelers who cannot present identification.
  • If you are a victim of crime, the advice is to call 112 immediately for assistance.

Checked on September 21, 2026. Advisory data is refreshed weekly.
