Explore Prague's narrow laneways which all open up onto spectacular squares, and discover fine old homes and historical buildings.
- Visit Prague Castle - once home to Bohemia's kings, it is today the official residence of the Czech Republic's President.
- Charles Bridge - easily one of the most recognizable old bridges in Europe.
Where to eat
- Divinis - Feast on roe deer saddle with mushroom ragout, served up with a glass of Pinot Grigio from Trentino.
- V KolkovnÄ› - Try pork knee, tender ribs, beef goulash with fluffy dumplings or the ultimate Bohemian classic: roast duck with sauerkraut.

- Language is Czech, but thanks to the rise in tourism, most people speak English.
- Visitors from the U.S., Canada, the European Union, including the U.K., and Australia do not need a visa to enter the Czech Republic. Visitors are permitted to stay in the country for 90 days of a 6-month period; E.U. visitors can stay 180 days. Visitors from other countries may need to obtain a visa before entering
- Plug sockets are the European two pin type.
- There are no cultural sensitivities per se, however when conducting business it is worth noting:
- Initial business meetings are formal affairs and business cards should be exchanged.
- Czechs are polite and non-confrontational and sometimes what may appear as hesitancy is a form of politeness or an indirect way of saying no.
- Turning up stupidly early for a meeting is considered a major faux-pas.
