RISK LEVEL


CZECHIA - TAKE NORMAL SECURITY PRECAUTIONS

Take normal security precautions in Czechia

Back to top


SAFETY AND SECURITY


CRIME

Violent crime is low. Petty crime, such as pickpocketing and purse snatching, is
common.

Organized groups of pickpockets often use distraction techniques and are
particularly active in:

 * main cities, including Prague
 * public transportation hubs, including Prague main railway station (Praha
   hlavní nádraží)
 * hotel lobbies
 * restaurants, patios and outdoor cafés
 * tourist attractions

Car thefts and break-ins are common, particularly in major cities.

Gangs of thieves may use jostling and swarming techniques to rob your
belongings. They often target subway stations, particularly:

 * Malostranská
 * Můstek
 * Muzeum
 * Staromĕstská

They also target tram routes, such as:

 * tram 22, which runs to and from Prague Castle
 * the tourist trams 41, 42 and 43

Robberies also occur on overnight trains.

While in Czechia:

 * ensure that your belongings, including your passport and other travel
   documents, are secure at all times
 * avoid showing signs of affluence and carrying large sums of cash
 * carry a photocopy or digital copy of your passport identification page,
   driver’s license, train or airline tickets and credit cards
 * don’t leave luggage unattended at airport check-in or ticket counters, car
   rental desks or hotel lobbies
 * don’t leave luggage or valuables in a vehicle, and always park your vehicle
   in secure facilities
 * be cautious when travelling on public transportation and overnight trains

REPORTING A CRIME

If you are a victim of a crime, you should go to the nearest police station to
report it. In Prague, a 24-hour police station dedicated to assistance to
foreign victims of crime is located at Jungmannovo náměstí 9, near the Můstek
metro station.

Keep a copy of your report, as you may need to make a claim to your insurance
provider.


SPIKED FOOD AND DRINKS

Never leave food or drinks unattended or in the care of strangers. Be wary of
accepting snacks, beverages, gum or cigarettes from new acquaintances, as the
items may contain drugs that could put you at risk of sexual assault and
robbery.


FRAUD

SCAMS

Individuals posing as plainclothes police officers may ask to see your foreign
currency and passports. Politely decline to cooperate, but offer to go to the
nearest police station.

Some bars, restaurants and nightclubs may try to charge exorbitant prices or
overcharge you.

 * Be cautious of unsolicited requests from strangers
 * Always confirm prices before consuming
 * Check your bill to make sure it’s exact
 * Avoid running a tab or leaving your credit card with bar or restaurant staff

CREDIT CARD AND ATM FRAUD

Credit card and ATM fraud occurs.

When using debit or credit cards:

 * pay careful attention if other people are handling your cards
 * use ATMs located in public areas or inside a bank or business
 * avoid using card readers with an irregular or unusual feature
 * cover the keypad with one hand when entering your PIN
 * check for any unauthorized transaction on your account statements

Overseas fraud


TERRORISM

There is a threat of terrorism in Europe. Terrorists have carried out attacks in
several European cities.

Terrorist attacks could occur at any time.

Targets could include:

 * government buildings, including schools
 * places of worship
 * airports and other transportation hubs and networks
 * public areas such as tourist attractions, restaurants, bars, coffee shops,
   shopping centres, markets, hotels and other sites frequented by foreigners

Always be aware of your surroundings when in public places. Be particularly
vigilant if attending sporting events and during religious holidays and other
public celebrations, as terrorists have used such occasions to mount attacks.


DEMONSTRATIONS

Demonstrations take place regularly. Even peaceful demonstrations can turn
violent at any time. They can also lead to disruptions to traffic and public
transportation.

 * Avoid areas where demonstrations and large gatherings are taking place
 * Follow the instructions of local authorities
 * Monitor local media for information on ongoing demonstrations

Mass gatherings (large-scale events)


ROAD SAFETY

Road conditions and road safety can vary greatly throughout the country. Roads
in rural or mountainous areas may be uneven, narrow, under construction or
poorly marked.

Drivers often drive at excessive speeds.


PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION

TRAMWAYS

Trams have priority over all types of transport and pedestrians.

Always be alert when walking, driving or cycling near tram rails.

TRAINS

Czechia has an extensive passenger train system. Rail accidents occur.

TAXIS

In Prague, you can get a taxi at the stands. They are regulated by the city
government.

To avoid being overcharged:

 * avoid hailing taxis on the street
 * negotiate fares in advance, or insist that the driver use the meter
 * use only officially marked taxis, reputable taxi companies or a trusted
   ride-sharing app


AIR TRAVEL

We do not make assessments on the compliance of foreign domestic airlines with
international safety standards.

HEALTH


RELEVANT TRAVEL HEALTH NOTICES

 * Global Measles Notice - 13 March, 2024
 * COVID-19 and International Travel - 13 March, 2024

This section contains information on possible health risks and restrictions
regularly found or ongoing in the destination. Follow this advice to lower your
risk of becoming ill while travelling. Not all risks are listed below.

Consult a health care professional or visit a travel health clinic preferably 6
weeks before you travel to get personalized health advice and recommendations.


ROUTINE VACCINES

Be sure that your� routine vaccinations, as per your province or territory, are
up-to-date before travelling, regardless of your destination.

Some of these vaccinations include measles-mumps-rubella (MMR), diphtheria,
tetanus, pertussis, polio, varicella (chickenpox), influenza and others.




PRE-TRAVEL VACCINES AND MEDICATIONS

You may be at risk for preventable diseases while travelling in this
destination. Talk to a travel health professional about which medications or
vaccines may be right for you, based on your destination and itinerary.� 

Yellow Fever - Country Entry Requirements

Yellow fever is a disease caused by a flavivirus from the bite of an infected
mosquito.

Travellers get vaccinated either because it is required to enter a country or
because it is recommended for their protection.

Risk

 * There is no risk of yellow fever in this country.

Country Entry Requirement*

 * Proof of vaccination is not required to enter this country.

Recommendation

 * Vaccination is not recommended.

* It is important to note that country entry requirements may not reflect your
risk of yellow fever at your destination. It is recommended that you contact the
nearest diplomatic or consular office of the destination(s) you will be visiting
to verify any additional entry requirements.

About Yellow Fever

Yellow Fever Vaccination Centres in Canada

Hepatitis A

There is a risk of hepatitis A in this destination. It is a disease of the
liver. People can get hepatitis A if they ingest contaminated food or water, eat
foods prepared by an infectious person, or if they have close physical contact
(such as oral-anal sex) with an infectious person, although casual contact among
people does not spread the virus.

� 

Practise� safe food and water precautions and wash your hands often. Vaccination
is recommended for all travellers to areas where hepatitis A is present.

Tick-borne encephalitis

Tick-borne encephalitis (TBE) is a risk in some areas of this destination. It is
a viral disease that affects the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord).
It is spread to humans by the bite of infected ticks or occasionally when
unpasteurized milk products are consumed.

Travellers to areas where TBE is found may be at higher risk � during April to
November, and the risk is highest for people who hike or camp in forested areas.

Protect yourself from tick bites. The vaccine is not available in Canada. It may
be available in the destination you are travelling to.

Rabies

In this destination, rabies� may be present in some wildlife species, including
bats. Rabies is a deadly disease that spreads to humans primarily through bites
or scratches from an infected animal.� 

If you are bitten or scratched by an animal while travelling, immediately wash
the wound with soap and clean water and see a health care professional.� 

Before travel, discuss rabies vaccination with a health care professional. It
may be recommended for travellers who will be working directly with wildlife.� 

Measles

Measles is a highly contagious viral disease. It can spread quickly from person
to person by direct contact and through droplets in the air.

Anyone who is not protected against measles is at risk of being infected with it
when travelling internationally.

Regardless of where you are going, talk to a health care professional before
travelling to make sure you are fully protected against measles.

Hepatitis B

� Hepatitis B is a risk in every destination. It is a viral liver disease that
is easily transmitted from one person to another through exposure to blood and
body fluids containing the hepatitis B virus.�  Travellers who may be exposed to
blood or other bodily fluids (e.g., through sexual contact, medical treatment,
sharing needles, tattooing, acupuncture or occupational exposure) are at higher
risk of getting hepatitis B.



Hepatitis B vaccination is recommended for all travellers. Prevent hepatitis B
infection by practicing safe sex, only using new and sterile drug equipment, and
only getting tattoos and piercings in settings that follow public health
regulations and standards.

COVID-19

Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is an infectious viral disease. It can spread
from person to person by direct contact and through droplets in the air.

It is recommended that all eligible travellers complete a COVID-19 vaccine
series along with any additional recommended doses in Canada before travelling.
Evidence shows that vaccines are very effective at preventing severe illness,
hospitalization and death from COVID-19. While vaccination provides better
protection against serious illness, you may still be at risk of infection from
the virus that causes COVID-19. Anyone who has not completed a vaccine series is
at increased risk of being infected with the virus that causes COVID-19 and is
at greater risk for severe disease when travelling internationally.

Before travelling, verify your destination’s COVID-19 vaccination entry/exit
requirements. Regardless of where you are going, talk to a health care
professional before travelling to make sure you are adequately protected against
COVID-19.

Influenza

� The best way to protect yourself from seasonal influenza (flu) is to get
vaccinated every year. Get the flu shot at least 2 weeks before travelling. � 

� The flu occurs worldwide.� 

 * � In the Northern Hemisphere, the flu season usually runs from November to� 
   � April.
 * � In the Southern Hemisphere, the flu season usually runs between April and� 
   � October.
 * � In the tropics, there is flu activity year round.� 

The flu vaccine available in one hemisphere may only offer partial protection
against the flu in the other hemisphere.

The flu virus spreads from person to person when they cough or sneeze or by
touching objects and surfaces that have been contaminated with the virus. Clean
your hands often and wear a mask if you have a fever or respiratory symptoms.


SAFE FOOD AND WATER PRECAUTIONS

Many illnesses can be caused by eating food or drinking beverages contaminated
by bacteria, parasites, toxins, or viruses, or by swimming or bathing in
contaminated water.

 * Learn more about food and water precautions to take to avoid getting sick by
   visiting our eat and drink safely abroad page. Remember: Boil it, cook it,
   peel it, or leave it!
 * Avoid getting water into your eyes, mouth or nose when swimming or
   participating in activities in freshwater (streams, canals, lakes),
   particularly after flooding or heavy rain. Water may look clean but could
   still be polluted or contaminated.
 * Avoid inhaling or swallowing water while bathing, showering, or swimming in
   pools or hot tubs.� 




INSECT BITE PREVENTION

Many diseases are spread by the bites of infected insects such as mosquitoes,
ticks, fleas or flies. When travelling to areas where infected insects may be
present:

 * Use insect repellent (bug spray) on exposed skin
 * Cover up with light-coloured, loose clothes made of tightly woven materials
   such as nylon or polyester
 * Minimize exposure to insects
 * Use mosquito netting when sleeping outdoors or in buildings that are not
   fully enclosed

To learn more about how you can reduce your risk of infection and disease caused
by bites, both at home and abroad, visit our insect bite prevention page.

Find out what types of insects are present where you’re travelling, when they’re
most active, and the symptoms of the diseases they spread.


ANIMAL PRECAUTIONS

Some infections, such as rabies and influenza, can be shared between humans and
animals. Certain types of activities may increase your chance of contact with
animals, such as travelling in rural or forested areas, camping, hiking, and
visiting wet markets (places where live animals are slaughtered and sold) or
caves.

Travellers are cautioned to avoid contact with animals, including dogs,
livestock (pigs, cows), monkeys, snakes, rodents, birds, and bats, and to avoid
eating undercooked wild game.

Closely supervise children, as they are more likely to come in contact with
animals.




PERSON-TO-PERSON INFECTIONS

Stay home if you’re sick and practise proper cough and sneeze etiquette, which
includes coughing or sneezing into a tissue or the bend of your arm, not your
hand. Reduce your risk of colds, the flu and other illnesses by:

 * � washing your hands often
 * avoiding or limiting the amount of time spent in closed spaces, crowded
   places, or at large-scale events (concerts, sporting events, rallies)
 * avoiding close physical contact with people who may be showing symptoms of
   illness� 

Sexually transmitted infections (STIs), HIV, and mpox are spread through blood
and bodily fluids; use condoms, practise safe sex, and limit your number of
sexual partners. Check with your local public health authority pre-travel to
determine your eligibility for mpox vaccine. � 


MEDICAL SERVICES AND FACILITIES

Good medical care is widely available. Care providers may require upfront
payment.

Make sure you get travel insurance that includes coverage for medical evacuation
and hospital stays.

Travel health and safety




KEEP IN MIND...

The decision to travel is the sole responsibility of the traveller. The
traveller is also responsible for his or her own personal safety.

Be prepared. Do not expect medical services to be the same as in Canada. Pack
a� travel health kit, especially if you will be travelling away from major city
centres.

INTERNATIONAL CHILD ABDUCTION

The Hague Convention on the Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction is an
international treaty. It can help parents with the return of children who have
been removed to or retained in certain countries in violation of custody rights.
The convention applies between Canada and Czechia.

If your child was wrongfully taken to, or is being held in Czechia, and if the
applicable conditions are met, you may apply for the return of your child to the
Czech� court.

If you are in this situation:

 * act as quickly as you can
 * contact the Central Authority for your province or territory of residence for
   information on starting an application under The Hague Convention
 * consult a lawyer in Canada and in Czechia to explore all the legal options
   for the return of your child
 * report the situation to the nearest Canadian government office abroad or to
   the Vulnerable Children’s Consular Unit at Global Affairs Canada by calling
   the Emergency Watch and Response Centre

If your child was removed from a country other than Canada, consult a lawyer to
determine if The Hague Convention applies.

Be aware that Canadian consular officials cannot interfere in private legal
matters or in another country’s judicial affairs.
