Scams to watch for in Czech Republic
- Crowd and public transport pickpocketingThieves take wallets and other valuables in crowds. Some groups in Prague jostle and surround passengers to distract them, especially when people board or leave transport.
- Misleading currency exchange offersAn office advertises 0% commission or a good-looking rate but gives a much worse return. The attractive rate may apply only to large exchanges, or the board may highlight the wrong side of the transaction. Staff may falsely say a printed receipt means you cannot cancel.
- Taxi detours and inflated billsA driver takes a longer route to raise the fare or presents an inflated bill. Visitors who do not speak Czech are frequent targets.
