Prague’s 5 Safest Neighborhoods

Despite the fact that Holešovice was cited by reports as one of Prague’s most crime-ridden districts, it appears that in the month of June, neighboring Letná saw just 69 reported crimes, 746 for the year. Car theft (55 reported cases), burglary (46 cases), and physical attacks (40 cases) were the most prevalent offenses.

The second-safest district in the Czech capital is Čakovice in Prague 9, with 62 monthly crimes reported in June and 486 for the year. Vehicle theft predominated with police registering 72 stolen cars and 31 thefts of a motor vehicle. Twenty-six home break-ins were reported as well.

In this neighborhood in the eastern part of Prague, police recorded 50 offenses per month and 317 per year. Similar to Čakovice, car theft was the most frequent crime, followed by burglary, theft of motor vehicles, and physical attack (both crimes had over 18 incidents reported).

The fifth safest Prague neighborhood is historic Barrandov. Officers recorded 86 offenses per month and 608 per year. Car theft (84), drug misconduct and public drunkenness (31) and 20 burglaries were reported.

The initiative was created by Pro Police / Open Society with an aim to “Make crime data available and understandable to anybody who is interested” and clarify the complicated and user-unfriendly tables released by the police.
