- ✅ Trams run 24 hours — night trams make getting home from clubs easy and cheap.
- ✅ Very safe for LGBTQ+ travellers — particularly in Vinohrady and the tourist centre. Normal urban awareness applies.
- ✅ No direct flights from Japan — connect via Frankfurt, Munich or Vienna (total ~15–17 hours travel).
