🛡️ Safety

Naples58/100Safety Score80/100Prague

Naples

Naples has a grittier reputation than other Italian tourist cities, and petty crime (pickpocketing, bag snatching, scooter theft) is a real concern. However, violent crime against tourists is rare, and most visitors have trouble-free experiences.

Prague

Prague is one of the safest major cities in Europe. Violent crime is very rare. The main risks are petty theft and tourist-targeted scams, particularly in Old Town Square, on Charles Bridge, and in crowded areas around Wenceslas Square.

🌤️ Weather

Winter (December - February)5-13°C

Prague

Prague has a continental climate with warm summers and cold, sometimes snowy winters. Spring and autumn are pleasant but changeable. The city looks magical in every season — sun-drenched summer evenings and snow-dusted spires both have their charm.

Autumn (September - November)3-19°C
Winter (December - February)-3-3°C

🚇 Getting Around

Naples

Naples has a metro, funiculars, and buses, but the system is notoriously unreliable. The historic center is best explored on foot. Taxis and apps fill the gaps.

Walkability: Excellent in the historic center — Spaccanapoli, Via dei Tribunali, and the waterfront are all walkable. The Vomero hill requires a funicular. Be careful of scooters on narrow streets.

Metro Line 1€1.30 single, €4.00 for daily pass
Funiculars€1.30 single (same ticket as metro)
Circumvesuviana€3.60 to Pompeii, €4.60 to Sorrento

Prague

Prague has excellent public transit operated by DPP (Dopravni podnik Prahy). The metro, trams, and buses all use the same ticket. A 30-minute ticket costs 30 CZK and a 24-hour pass costs 120 CZK. Buy tickets from machines at metro stations or use the PID Litacka app.

Walkability: Prague's historic center is very walkable and best explored on foot. The core (Old Town, Mala Strana, Josefov) is compact — you can walk from Old Town Square to Prague Castle in about 25 minutes. Cobblestones are everywhere so wear comfortable shoes.

The Verdict

Choose Naples if...

you want pizza's birthplace — Spaccanapoli, Castel dell'Ovo, the National Archaeological Museum's Pompeii treasures, and ferries to Capri and the Amalfi Coast

Choose Prague if...

you want a fairy-tale old town, cheap beer, Gothic architecture, and one of Europe's best-preserved medieval cities
