Prague
Spires, beer and a city that was never bombed into modernity.
Enregistrer
Vue d'ensemble
Prague survived the twentieth century with its medieval and baroque centre intact, and the result is one of the most beautiful cities in the world, swamped by visitors in its Old Town and surprisingly calm two tram stops away. Vinohrady, Zizkov, Holesovice and Karlin are where people actually live: parks, beer gardens, the best pour of pilsner on earth, cafes with a Habsburg lineage and apartments that remain affordable by Western standards. The tech scene is real and the transit is flawless.
Pourquoi visiter
For beauty by the square kilometre, a world-leading beer culture, central position in Europe and a quality of life that outruns its price.
Détail du budget
Hostel beds 18 to 30 euros equivalent (prices in koruna), rooms 55 to 95, one-bedroom apartments 750 to 1,100 euros a month in Vinohrady or Zizkov. A half-litre of pilsner 45 to 70 koruna, lunch menus 150 to 220, svickova 250 to 350, a monthly transit pass 550 koruna (one of Europe's cheapest).

Activités
Par style de voyage
Une base de données de destinations, sept vues. L'adéquation est un score éditorial sur cinq.
Cheap beer, cheap transit, great hostels and a position at the centre of Europe's rail map.
TEFL teaching has a long history here; universities and language schools draw international students.
Infrastructure and community are excellent; the non-EU visa route is bureaucratic and winters are dark.
Voyageurs longue durée dans le monde
A hub between Berlin, Vienna, Krakow and Budapest by cheap, frequent trains.
Affordable, cultured and safe with good healthcare; long-term residence for non-EU retirees is harder than in southern Europe.
Czech courses at Charles University, beer and cooking culture, and the hiking of Bohemian Switzerland.
Voyageurs sac au dos expérimentés
Flawless trams, a compact centre, concerts every night and calm neighbourhoods: cobbles are the only obstacle.
Pratique
Sécurité
Very safe. Pickpockets on tram 22, Charles Bridge and in the Old Town; currency-exchange fraud in the centre; stag-party nightlife in the Old Town at weekends.
Arnaques courantes
Street money changers (never), exchange booths with hidden rates (check the 'we sell' column), taxi overcharging (apps only), and restaurants with 'cover' and service charges in Old Town Square.
Connectivité et travail à distance
Excellent fibre; coworking at Impact Hub, Locus, Opero, Node5, WorkLounge and many cafes; a major tech and start-up city.
A well-established expat and nomad city with fast internet, cheap transit, a strong tech sector and affordable neighbourhoods; the visa route for non-EU freelancers is the obstacle, and winters are long.
