Health and Safety

Compared to many Western cities, Prague is relatively safe. You will generally find policemen very helpful.  Prague is an unthreatening city to walk around. Violent crimes in the city centre are rare. The main criminal problem is petty pilfering (pickpockets). As with any city, always use caution and care when travelling around.

The Police and Security Services
In Prague you will come across several kinds of policemen and women and members of various security services. Report any problems to a uniformed state police officer at a police station.  To file a police report, go to the Praha 1 police station (Jungmannovo náměstí 9, Nové Město, Praha 1), as this is the police station that can organize an interpreter rapidly. If the theft occurred in another district, the interpreter will take you to that district’s police station to make a report.
In an emergency, dial 158.
