The Czech Republic's capital is Prague.

The national language is Czech, although some also understand or speak German and English.

In the Czech Republic, payments are made in Czech crowns (CZK). 1 EUR corresponds to approx. 26.32 CZK.

The Czech Republic is a member of the EU, which is why EU citizens do not require a visa. In addition, there are generally no border controls within the EU. You only need to carry your identity card with you.

Central European Time (UTC+1) applies.

There are ATMs everywhere in the cities. Outside of cities, however, you should always have enough cash with you. In restaurants and other establishments, it is best to ask in advance whether card payment is possible.

It depends on what you have in mind. If you want to explore nature, May to September are ideal. However, the weather is not always consistent. You can go on a city trip all year round.

A national driving license is sufficient for EU citizens. The traffic signs and rules are by and large uniform within Europe.

The speed limits are 130 km/h on freeways, 90 km/h outside built-up areas and 50 km/h within built-up areas. The drink-drive limit is 0.0 per mille.

If you have a phone contract from the EU or the Schengen area, you do not pay any roaming charges. You can use your phone at the same rate as at home.
