The safety picture
A plain-language read of the sourced figures belowBrno reaches 100 out of 100 in our composite index, the top of the scale.
Read the underlying figures with care. The homicide rate is 0.3 per 100,000, about 0.2 times the median for the cities we track, but it is reported for the wider state and we derived it ourselves from a count and a population, so take it as an upper bound on the local level. Recorded robbery is 14.2 per 100,000, likewise a state figure, and police data captures only reported incidents. We track three governments here, the US, Canada, and the UK, and each holds Czechia at its lowest advisory level. In a national survey, 94% of residents said they feel safe walking alone after dark, though that covers a wider area than Brno itself. Advisories for the country still name pickpocketing and scams targeting visitors.
