🧭 Solo Tips for Prague at Night:

  • Public transport runs late, and night trams cover the city well — safe and reliable.

  • Uber and Bolt are cheap and safer than taxis — ideal if you're out after midnight.

  • Czechs value personal space but are warm once you engage — don’t hesitate to strike up conversation.

  • Don’t over-plan nightlife. Prague’s best surprises often happen while just wandering or chatting with locals in pubs.
