Pickpockets: The tram gangs
  • Tip Rating: [Not enough ratings yet]
  • Watch out for the tram gangs. They ride the tram all day waiting for their chance to squeeze you at the door and pick your pocket without you noticing. If someone stands in front of the door with you either trying to get on or off, and they are acting really confused, or if it seems to be "busier" on your part of the tram or metro car than other areas of the car, they might be trying to target you. Just act very aggressive and loud. They don't want any attention brought to themselves.

    Warnings Or Dangers: Warning For Men Only
  • Tip Rating:
  • Many girls will come up to you while you are walking the streets of Old Town after a heavy night of drinking and almost jump on you asking for your body/sex/anything and start hugging you, feeling you all over. They are pickpockets. Get a hold of your wallet and anything valuable and tell them to F*** off. They will understand those words and hopefully get the hell away from you.

    Taxi Drivers: Taxi drivers and their "foreigner prices"
  • Tip Rating: [Not enough ratings yet]
  • Taxi drivers in Prague try to take as much advantage as they can on making money on tourists. They could quite possibly double your fare without you knowing. Keep an eye on the metre. And if they want to barter with you from the airport into town, anything over 800 KC is a rip off. You can rent a whole shuttle van for yourself for around that.

     A nice stroll thru Praha. I also spent many years in Praha while young. You name a city, I had seen them all on 4 continents, except Africa. There is nothing in this world like Praha, nothing even close.
