The Czech Republic Beyond Prague 

Shukriya!

Thanks a lot for the nice wishes! All the best!

Ohh dear love you

What national holiday we celebrate since 2000?

Vielen Dank für Ihre Wünsche. Jeder sollte wissen, dass dieses Land und seine Schönheit auch von Deutschen erbaut wurden, die hier jahrhundertelang gelebt haben, und ich bin stolz darauf, dies anzuerkennen. Und Deutsche sind hier immer willkommen! Thank you very much for your wishes. Everyone should know that this country and its beauty was also build by Germans who lived here for centuries and I am proud to acknowledge this. And German people will always be welcomed here!

@Sasuke Uchiha Some yes. I'm a Czech-German descendant.

Good luck to you. I wish you were finally free and prosperous, following the great history of your nation!

@@aswler thank you dear. Hope all the dictators to be taken down soon.

@mini polis ممنونم 💜

I would like to suggest not to use Czechia, as it has a bad connotation for older generation (Nazi's term Tschechei). If uou feel that Czech republic is too long, use Czechlands, or what Czech call it, Cesko (soft C/tch).

Hungry caterpillar!

zaraz po Polsce

absolutely great country

Too bad Rick didnt mention Czechia's best export.. hockey players. Ty for Vrana and Kempney from the US.

All Europe is best.

Thank you!

I was kinda shocked not to see Kutna Hora mentioned here. Regardless, I can’t wait to visit Prague next week with a day trip to Kutna Hora.

+atempo206 Why is that?

+atempo206 can you elaborate?

You are not alone in that opinion

As a Prague citizen and native, I think Basel's beauty outshines even Prague.

What about Helsinki

It really is beautiful and there is plenty to do all around the country. CR has mountains, lakes, forests, caves, museums, castles, festivals of all types (food, drinks, medieval, music, film...) etc etc.... I love going to Moravia at the end of September during the young wine festivals for example. Amazing. I miss pre-Corona times when we could travel and everything was open and great.

@@MissSladousek Would you recommend CR as a place for a Canadian Retired person to move to? I am thinking Prague or Tbilisi Georgia

@@MrBlair-ft2li I have never been to Tbilisi thought one day I would love to. I know some people who been there or are from there and I think Prague is definatelly a better choice. At least in terms of an economy and geographical location. Also, in my opinion there is a lot more to do in Prague and the choice of international cusine is wider as its more developed city. You could live on the outskirts of Prague if you wish to live near the nature but still with an easy distance to the city. Retired life can be quite friendly with mushrooming, blueberry hunting, actual hunting, castle visiting, or trekking across the country all very safely.

@@MrBlair-ft2li In Tbilisi it is almost impossible to live, without speaking georgian or russian. Only few people there speak english. On the other side, everything is cheaper in Tbilisi, and it´s not that overcrowded. Also local cuisine is incredibly good, and it really local, in Praque, many things just pretend to be local, but it´s not.

@@MrBlair-ft2li Go for 🇨🇿

+Hezky Česky How is Brno..? Especially for noneuropeans..?

+Xavier Smith Yes in deed! We speak Czech.. "tedy česky"..

+Phani Shankar Brno is great city too. There are many thinks to visit and see and specially if you are interested in a wine business. Brno is in Moravian region where most of the Czech production of wine is being made. If you wanna have a look on lovely Czech country side - than that is a way to start in Brno and travel from there - towards to cities like Mikulov, Břeclav, Hodonín..and maybe even beautiful place near be it - like Lednice (castle).. Moravian people are kind and lovely to meet - but you have to go to country side to really appreciate the traditional view.

Hezky Česky Thanks for the info. I am attending and interview soon and hopefully I get the job in Brno.

czech republic=shit communist. Nuked

The saying is : The heart of Europe

and now it's somewhere out in the world! waiting for the moment it returns back to its homeland.

+Andrew Bowe I definitely agree with you. I've been to 17 European countries and my dream is to all of them :)

lehoX62 As a Czech I've got to agree. Of course it varies but in general, if you go to Moravia just for a pop visit you can certainly tell in a minute the people are more friendly and warm.

lehoX62 o

@@dejffjed If you want some real warmth just come to Ostrava. After you step off the train, pay no attention to the smell of urine, but those smiling gypsy's are indeed a warm greeting. Take a tram towards the main square, that smell of body sweat is warm, but not too friendly. Don't worry if you don't notice any immediate smiles. These people are absolutely not cold. Hearts of gold once you get to know them, and no they're not on their way to any funeral. The people here are obviously very caring towards each other and full of respect for themselves too.

@@dejffjed Maybe I should go there, but I found the people in Prague pretty friendly as well, although I was only there for a short time.

Are you single

Hello Lailani

Same here

Wer r u from

Me too

Sir Davis; If it still there today I think it's nice..The people not only recognized the value of their culture and history but also of their struggles and how today they are such a fantastic country...

vicksss It's a monument to a fallen authoritarian regime and its twisted ideology. I fail to see what's nice about it.

iglidor Concentration camps were never supposed to be a monument celebrating a regime and its ideology.

Sir David Payne i'm from algeria and i reallu want to live in czech republic but i don't know how to live there and if the people of czech can accepte another people "immigration" can i have some help?

Amine Tube It is pretty simple. People in Czech republic and in Europe in general got pretty quickly alergic to immigrants who marched in our countries without bothering to take any ID or legal documents, who came here without any knowledge of our languages, no plan on where to live and work and no idea how to find either of them and yet at the same time shouting from bottom of their lungs how we are responsible for them and that we have to take care of them and allow them whatever they want. Obviously such outlook rubbed lot of people around here wrong. If you want to avoid all this, it is pretty simple: Learn language of country where you want to move in. If you can't learn that language (either due to time constrants or simply no source to learn it from), it can be skipped but then you should secure place to live in and job in that country BEFORE you move in because later here it would be very hard to do so without knowledge of local language. English will not help you everywhere. And of course go through legal routes to get legal documents that will allow you to live here. Unless you are criminal or drug addict they will not make you any problems to aquire them. Also important thing to realize is that Czech Republic is mostly atheistic. There is not much support for religion here. No one is forbidding anyone to believe in whatever he wants but if you are religious, do not expect anyone to bend out of their way because of it or people be interested in it. If you do above mentioned things, you will be accepted without any problems. People around never complain about someone working here. They simply dislike those who came here with intent to not work yet full of demands.

Hello Baby

john; i'm 28 years old and you are totally right, however, I learned that the Zchecks were the must fierce country that fought Hitler and never stopped..This people never gave up and were a thorn in Hitler's ass..If you want to learn about heroism that's what Zeckhoslovakia was...(Sorry I still don't know how to pronounce the name of your country) ..Anyway I am American and I would love to live in that country..I really will like to go to the University of Moravia. and learn their language..

In English you pronounce it Czech Republic (cz sounds like ch) or Czechia. The language is very hard to learn, I know this cos I'm learning it myself as I've moved to Prague to be with my GF. Look for the app Mondly czech

@@vicksss807 It seems like you can't spell, not that you can't pronounce.

"young people", probably no one alive has experiences of holocaust, communism sure, 68 sure, but holocaust?

@@skipnobodycares2018 well, there still are some people. At least from Czech republic (and Slovakia) there are quite a lot of people that have experienced those horendous things and are alive. Interesting thing is that majority of those people have opened up about it and made lots of interviews about their experiences. That must've been really hard for them, but they did it so that younger generations know how it was. Actually, there was in Český Krumlov a lady, who has experienced the holocaust as a teenage girl, who was doing meet ups with classes from schools in the region and talked about her teenage years completely openly, until she unfortunately passed away in spring of 2020. She was one of the sweetest old ladies you could ever meet. There is almost a year long time in every school in Czechia, when students are learning about WWI and WWII. Its needed that younger people know about what was happening during that time. This is extremely imporant, and everywhere in the world people have to learn in detail about these inhuman things. Never ever in history this should be forgotten. Sorry for this being so long, I thought I could've share some more informations.

Nice words Inge , how are you doing today ?

Hello Inge

I like Tabor.

Ja aber er hat nur Tiere getotet.

Hello Ana

thank god most Czechs are atheists. I can't help but notice with the increase in capitalism and cars religion is starting to fool more Czechs.

+Tom Ulcak But many are sadly just as crazy and intolerant.

Don't be hateful towards religious people. Besides I wouldn't say that most Czechs are atheist, but are either agnostic or prefer not to share their personal information. Czech Americans, and I'm sure many Czechs, are practicing Catholics

Unoriginal Username Agnosticism is basically atheism. As agnostic people don't believe in god.

Agnosticism isn't necessarily atheism. It just means that one is unsure of the existence of God, not openly denying it

You know all of Europe looked like Prague not all that long ago. Seriously, WW2 destroyed like 90% of European architecture. Really sad

@@muskateer12345 cant say that i know how much has been destroyed 🥲

John Bilsbury not just Austro-Hungarian empire, but we were also part of Holy Roman Empire for a many centuries.....while Russia had influence here for only 40 years. Before World War II, Germans made 22% of population in Czechoslovakia, thats why many Czechs have german surnames.

Technically Hungarians aren't Slavic, but are descendants of the ancient Finnic tribe the Magyars

Unoriginal Username Whatever they are is beside the point although I know that many people from those countries could not live and cooperate with Russia - I have relatives from Slovakia and was speaking to someone from there today. Russia is a different mentality from Europe and they just could not work together. Like it or not

I'm sorry, but it is not true. The truth is, that older Slovaks people who have lived in "socalism" like Russians, young people are raised under the west influence and like West, especially the USA. The nation is deep divided. Situation in East of Evrope is similar, by the way in Germany too.

We are culturaly more close to Germans and Austrians than to other slavs, that's fact but most of Czech people deny that.
