Tourists visiting Prague must pay attention
while exchanging money. One should
never exchange money on the streets. People offering currency exchange on the
streets are constantly trying to con travellers. Incidents have been reported
where tourists have exchanged considerable amounts of money for counterfeit money.
Travellers must also
take care while crossing busy streets.
There are traffic signals on most of the streets. However, some remain green
only for a few seconds. It is extremely difficult to cross the roads in such a
short period of time. Despite this, police show no mercy if you cross when the
red light is flashing.
To be on the safe side, travellers should avoid going out during late night hours.
Incidences of pick pocketing and robberies are regular after dark.
