On stormfront you’ll read in massive subs such as r/soccer that Paris has a pocket of safety surrounded by pure crime. They’ll say shit like, “I went to Vienna and Budapest and not once did I feel unsafe”
You ‘felt’ unsafe? Are you just shitting your pants everytime you encounter an Arab or someone with slightly more melanin content? Like, almost every city I’ve ever been to where people say it’s unsafe is just a place with more minorities and I’ve never once felt unsafe.

I went to Prague too on that same trip. Beautiful city, but we got scammed by someone claiming to be a subway ticket inspector.
thats a common scam they target people that dont speak czech and cant read the signage easily
Yeah, in retrospect we should have pushed back more.
in general i strongly suggest, whenever you visit a smaller country with a small language, learn the words required for signage. you can probably get by on that 99% of the time because in prague a lot of people speak english because its an international attraction
Yeah I learned from that experience and when I went to Russia (not a small country, but definitely not English friendly) I learned to read Cyrillic and some basic vocabulary. Really helped us because none of the fucking signs were in English, even in Moscow.
Still keen to go check out Czechia again some day though.
visit the mountains in spring! its very very pretty. id suggest north west of the country near karlovy vary they have a bunch of springs and old ass alcohol distilleries, lots of beer, local spirits, and so on. its only really known to czechs and germans so its not super crowded usually. the spas are fun
