Safety update for Czech Republic based on recent experience and community reports:

General Safety Level: Moderate — use common sense and you will be fine.

Common Risks:
- Street touts steering you to overpriced venues
- ATM skimming — use bank ATMs inside branches
- Room theft — use hotel safe

Areas to Avoid:
Avoid the area around the bus station at night.

Police Situation:
Police are generally helpful to tourists.

Stay safe out there.

Do your research, respect the locals, stay safe. — Wanderlust Carl

Been there 12 times now. Still one of my top destinations. The friendly atmosphere is what keeps me coming back.

I was there in last month and prices were exactly as described. Spent about $100/day all-in.

My tip: try the local spots away from tourists.

Word of caution — some online profiles are fake. Other than that, great destination.

Word of caution — watch out for taxi scams at the airport. Other than that, great destination.

Did you use an agency or find girls at the hotel?

First time was good but could have been better. Second time was 10x smoother. Experience makes all the difference.
