Having just returned from Prague and a 4 day break maybe worth knowing few bits of info. The city feels very safe
1. Travelling on public transport- Over 65s travel free, 60-65 can travel as a Senior and get 24 hour pass at 75 Krona. Under 60 you can purchase a 24 or 72 hour pass. Remember to activate them as if caught without is a fine of around £100. The bus stops are just outside the terminal building. There are 3 terminals but flights from UK seem to use Terminal 1. You will normally need to get a bus and pick up a tram the rest of the way. Taxis work out between £25 to £30. There is also a metro system with 3 lines.
2. Food and drink in general is cheaper away from the main old town. We paid between 60- 85 krona for decent beer. Expect to get a lot of froth. Usually served as 500ml. Food - didn't particularly find a restaurant serving traditional Czechia food but sure there are some. There is a wide choice of restaurants with Asian being the one we saw most. Local beer is Pilsner. There are several brew/craft beer pubs with various types of beer.
3. To do tourist things the old town is easy to walk around. The clock tower and square around is good. It is busy when the clock strikes. We were there 12 md and could not see much. There is Jewish Quarter to walk around, Charles Bridge , Cathedral and Castle along with the recently reopened Funicular. Is free if you bu the travel pass. Nice and peaceful at the top but no views of city at the top. Views on way up are good. Try and be on the side of the carriage facing the castle and cathedral or at the front or back. Not sure if the boats are still running in November. If so costs around £12 but doe vary.
Wenslalessà Square has alot of work being done to bring trams back to the top endnof the square by next year so expect it to be noisy and when we were there dusty. Museum is at the top of the square and overlooks it
4. There is more than one stadium in Prague. Make sure you go to the right one. Most locals speak very good English. We used mainly cards and did take local currency but really did not need to. The One we need is North of river. Trams are the easiest option and when you get of an approximate 8 min walk. Sparta play at the Epet arena
