Living in Prague, Czech Republic:
Tips for Moving and Visiting

The beautiful architecture and plentiful green space of the city of Prague make it a magical place to live. The great transportation system allows easy travel within and outside the city.

Anyone visiting Prague should never take a taxi. Try using the public transportation or an Uber because as soon as the taxi drivers realize that you are a foreigner, they will overcharge you and make you pay insane amounts of money. Another important thing to note is that exchanging money around the city could also make you lose lots of money. Do not ever exchange money in the streets! Those people don’t even give you actual real currency. You’ll be left with bank notes that are probably nonexistent and not Czech at all. It’s best to find an exchange office with no commission which isn’t as easy as it sounds. But Prague is a beautiful city and you’ll have an amazing experience should you ever visit, as long as you don’t find yourself entrapped in the hands of all the tourist scammers that lurk around the city.

Prague is one of the most beautiful and historic of the Medieval cities of Europe; however, in recent years it has been overrun by tourists and the lovely historic center turned into a tawdry collection of tourist shops inhabiting those lovely 4-600 year old structures. Still, I can find times when the City is free of tourists (early morning or late at night) when I can still see the City in almost its historic majesty.

Prague is a magical city characterized by lush parks and architectural marvels. Who can resist a relaxing picnic in Letna Park, an invigorating walk along the cobblestone streets, or the inherent beauty of Prague Castle and Charles Bridge? The vibrant capital also offers a legendary nightlife, world-class shopping experiences, and romantic vistas typically sealed with an old-world kiss. Whether you come to Prague to soak up the history or for a weekend of unabashed revelry, the city’s “claws” that Kafa once warned about will delve into your soul and resonate deep within you long after you’ve reluctantly left.

Prague is a lively, beautiful, and friendly city. it has its downfalls, some more prevalent than others. Firstly, I have found the ability to speak English quite scarce in its people, this becomes especially enduring when you, yourself, can’t communicate to them in their language. Secondly, the food here isn’t as good as you’d imagine from the heart of Europe. I know of very little who would reject cuisines including cheese, bread and meat. However, it does quite repetitive as there aren’t as many options as other European cities, such as ones in Germany, which I found to be quite international and open in their food choices. I found so many Chinese, Indian, Japanese restaurants and fast food places in those cities and it’s just something I would like more of here. and most importantly, coming from a tropical country, it is hard not to notice the drastic change in the weather. Cold dark rainy nights have a depressing connotation to them, and I finally got to understand just why, and in bigger doses than I’d prefer.

Prague is a beautiful city in the EU. It is known as, “The heart of Europe.” Historically and culturally speaking, it is one of the most interesting cities I have ever visited or had the chance There is much to see and experience, and no matter where you’re from or what walk of life you come from, you will be captivated by something.
