The public transport is being recommended to you on this page. It is quite reliable and safe. Safe to the extent as any Capital City may be, but certainly not safer. Beware of pickpockets! They are in action in the most frequented places as the Wenceslas Square (Václavské náměstí), the Main Railway Station (Hlavní nádraží) and on metro stations and metro trains in the city centre. Also, some tram lines have a bad reputation (No. 22 going through the centre). Always try not to be alone when using trams at night.
