What this page does and doesn't tell you
There is no global index of how safe a city is specifically for Black travelers, and we won't invent one. This page combines the city's overall safety score, a structural equality indicator from V-Dem, and, where Black travelers have reviewed Prague, their own words. Together they give a fuller, honest picture than any single number.
Real reviews, not guesswork

Frequently asked questions
Is Prague safe for Black travelers?
Prague scores 7.3/10 on general safety (crime, all visitors). That number doesn't capture racism specifically, so for Black travelers it's a starting point, not the answer. The structural equality indicator and the reviews from Black travelers on this page fill that gap.
What does the equality score for Prague mean?
It's V-Dem's measure of how equally social and ethnic groups are treated in civil liberties in Czechia (77/100). It reflects laws and institutions, not day-to-day street experiences, which is why the reviews from Black travelers on this page matter alongside it.
