  • Everyone (especially on this website) goes on about the pickpockets, thereby giving every visitor to Prague a serious complex about the problem before they get there.

    Let me put the record straight....

    YOU'D HAVE TO BE A PROPER NUMB NUT TO GET PICKPOCKETED HERE !!

    Yes, there are Gypo's, but you can spot them a mile off.

    Look !...

    ...if you walk around with your passport and wallet hanging out of your back pocket you deserve to lose it.

    The only Gypos we saw were in Wencelas Square after dark - gangs of ugly, brown toothed women sat in shop doorways offering sex.

    If you decide to proposition them, then God help you anyway.

    (Same goes for the money exchanges... why would anyone in their right mind go to a neon kiosk next to a lap dancin' bar to get their money changed?)

    If you don't understand the above statements, please see your doctor before flying to Prague
