📝 Notes

🏙️ Prague and Beyond

Prague dominates most visits and is one of Europe’s most visually impressive cities. At the same time, it is heavily crowded and tourist-oriented.

Exploring smaller towns and residential neighborhoods gives a more balanced impression of the country.

🚆 Easy and Compact Travel

The Czech Republic is easy to navigate.

  • short distances
  • frequent and reliable trains
  • no need for a car

This makes it ideal for short trips and relaxed exploration.

🍺 Everyday Culture

Beer culture is part of daily life rather than a tourist attraction. Cafés, pubs, and local restaurants are affordable and widely available.

Social life is quieter and more reserved than in southern Europe.

🌦️ Climate and Seasons

Winters are cold and often grey. Spring and autumn are generally the most pleasant seasons for city-focused travel.
