• When interacting with someone, whether it be to share a table in a pub or make a purchase in a shop, it is customary to say “dobrý den” for “good day” or “dobrý večer” for “good evening.”
• Most Czechs in the center of Prague speak excellent English, but they will greatly appreciate your efforts to speak a few phrases in Czech, even if it’s just “děkuji” for “thank you” or “prosím” for “please.”
• Prague is accustomed to large groups of friends enjoying drinks, but please be aware that recent laws have banned public drinking in many of the city’s main parks, so it’s best to be discreet when moving between pubs. Additionally, a smoking ban has been in effect since 2017, which includes all restaurants, bars, and many public spaces, such as tram stops.
• Despite some misconceptions, drugs, even for personal use, are not legal in the Czech Republic, although enforcement against casual users is rare.
