Newsflash! Petty crime happens everywhere. It happens in Prague. It happens in London. It happens in Delhi. It happens in Toronto. It happens in Rio. It happens in Madrid. It happens in Tokyo. It happens in Manila. It happens in Sydney.

Hi, there are pick pockets in every European city, I believe the worst place is Barcelona, I lived there for a few years and everyone that came to visit had a story to tell. _________________ Archie

I was in Prague a few weeks ago and absolutely love it and indeed - it is very cheap. If you though walk one or two streets away from where you see the hourdes of tourists, you will then see prices of food and drinks get cheaper. Walk for 5 mins away from the main areas and its real cheap. _________________ Venice apartments, Amsterdam accommodation, Barcelona apartments . |

I don't have personal experience with "pickpockets in Prague" but got more details from Google. We need to take care of our bags while driving. _________________ I've been banned for violating the zero tolerance policy. |

pickpockets are almost in every bigger city. Prague is known for expensive taxis (or better say that taxis are sometimes more expensive for visitors than for Czech people) and of course you have to be careful of your things. _________________ Airfare Deals - Airfare Deals from London - Airfare Deals from Paris |

I had heard that Prague was cheap and thus I was very surprised a few weeks ago when i was there because it wasn't cheap. It is cheaper than London but if you are looking for a cheap holiday then Prague is no longer maybe the place to go. Budapest I found to be much cheaper and better for a budget holiday. _________________ South Korean travel, Sauna Spa & Barcelona Top 10. |

I lived in Prague for about five weeks last year. Granted, that's not much time, but it's enough for me to have had to get a pretty good handle on the prices.
Food is typically cheaper than UK and US prices, especially for beer/alcoholic beverages, but not by a lot. On average I'd say food is 70% of what it costs in the US. A beer in a bar, on the other hand, is one third to one half the price. _________________ En un lugar de la Mancha, de cuyo nombre no quiero acordarme, no ha mucho tiempo que vivía un hidalgo de los de lanza en astillero, adarga antigua, rocín flaco y galgo corredor... |
