09 · Practical notes
Small things that quietly make your trip.
Orientation on money, movement, safety, and the quirks no blog post thinks to mention.
01 · Getting in
Fly in, wheels out
- Country code — CZ. Check visa requirements below.
- Arrival window — plan at least half a day for a soft landing before any scheduled itinerary.
02 · Money & tipping
Local currency notes
- Cost score — 1.6/5 on the Wanderlust index. Plan your monthly budget using the cost-of-living panel above.
- Tipping — tipping customs vary by establishment. When in doubt, 10% at sit-down service is a safe floor.
03 · Remote work
Connectivity & cafés
- Median speeds — 20 Mbps. Fiber is usually available in the central neighborhoods listed above.
- Internet score — 5/5. Factors café culture, coworking options, and reliability.
- Backup plan — a reliable mobile-data plan for the week absorbs most surprises on a shaky wifi day.
04 · Safety
Realistic risks
- Safety score — 4.5/10 from on-the-ground contributors. Pay attention to neighborhood-level variation.
- Night out — stick to rideshare or licensed taxis after dark in unfamiliar areas.
- Health — altitude, sun, and unfamiliar water are the usual culprits. Hydrate the first 48 hours.
05 · Language
Getting around linguistically
- Signage — main transport hubs tend to be multilingual. Offline maps are your friend once you leave the core.
- Translation apps — download the offline language pack before you land.
06 · Timing & seasons
When to show up
- Shoulder tip — the first and last weeks of peak season usually combine good weather with smaller crowds.
