The Big Three Czech mobile operators include O2, T-Mobile and Vodafone. As a member of the EU, the Czech Republic has ratified the agreement on the abolition of roaming between European countries. Therefore, calls within the European Union are now charged as local.

As for the connection with Russia, the tariff from Vodafone is applicable specifically for non-EU tourists. This is an absolute favorite among the guests of the Czech capital: a call to Russia will cost only 5 crowns per minute (about 15 rubles), domestically - 3.5 crowns. The cost of the SIM card itself is 200 CZK. The only drawback is the expensive Internet at a tariff: 100 megabytes will cost 50 kroons. Therefore, if you plan to communicate in instant messengers, it is better to pay attention to the offer from T-Mobile: for a minute of conversation with Russia you will need to pay 12 kroons, and for 500 megabytes of traffic - 100 kroons.

Buying a local SIM card allows you to save some money, although prices in roaming of domestic operators have recently declined, and you can find rates of 10 rubles per minute.

Language and Communication

Despite some similarities with Russian, the Czech language cannot be called easy to learn. Some features make it unusual for our ear - for example, the absence of vowels in some words.

But speaking with locals is quite possible. Firstly, many words are similar in pronunciation. Secondly, almost all Czechs of the older generation tolerably understand Russian - the fact that the country is in the socialist bloc after the Second World War affects.

Mentality features

Czechs are typical western Slavs. Throughout their history, they were in close proximity to Germany, and were also part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. This could not but affect the national character: the Czechs are hardworking, rational in everyday life and very thrifty in relation to money. Add to this the traditional European diplomacy and restraint, and you get a portrait of the average Czech.

Good-naturedness (but not simple-mindedness) is another distinguishing feature of Czechs: to be convinced of this, it is enough to visit one of Prague's pubs only once. But not "tourist" - just there you will almost not find residents of the capital. "Untwisted" places are able to talk about the Czechs much more. This is a hospitable nation in a good way: having learned that you are Russian, first of all you will kindly try to remember the last hockey match between the national teams, rather than the “Prague Spring”.

By the way, about the pubs and restaurants - a nation that is so sensitive to the quality and size of dishes, it is simply impossible to suspect of coldness or distrust of visitors. Stop by and see for yourself.

Shopping What is worth bringing?

A huge number of options, but let's pay attention to the main thing!

Czech crystal from Bohemia.  That says it all. In the Czech Republic, really the best crystal in all of Central and Eastern Europe. Possessing such a vase or glasses was the cherished dream of every housewife in the USSR. Everything is on sale - from scallops to sets of wine glasses. Excellent products from the Moser factory and Karlovy Vary factories.

National foods and dishes.  First of all, cheese, but in vacuum packaging. Be sure to buy a round of emmental or gouda - these cheeses are considered a national treasure. Pay special attention to waffles, Czech sausages, strudel and large gingerbread cookies in multi-colored glazes.

Alcohol. Original beer, becherovka, seasoning, plum brandy, cider - each region of the Czech Republic has its own local alcohol brand.

Jewelry.  First of all, choose with a blood-red pomegranate: this stone is one of the symbols of the Czech Republic, and jewelry with it is simply magnificent.

Local kitchen. What to try?

The boil is a baked knee.  Czech cuisine is always as satisfying as possible, but so much so! A huge pork knuckle (less than 1 kg - just bad manners), soaked in beer and baked with ginger and garlic. Garnish to taste: from stewed cabbage and boiled potatoes to baked apples. Accompanying - of course, beer.
Naturally, it is simply not possible for one to eat such an amount of pork, so usually 3-4 people order a boar knee. Connoisseurs choose the right shank: drumstick and part of the thigh with fat. Very tasty.

Svichkovo on sour cream.  This dish is a ceremony: the beef tenderloin marinated in sour cream was stuffed with lard and served at the very beginning of the “meat” season by candlelight, hence the name. The sauce plays a special role - stewed vegetables in meat broth with the addition of cream. In this combination, Bavarian and French motifs are felt - the proximity of these countries significantly influenced the development of local cuisine. But still, this is one of the most delicious and delicate meat dishes with the Czech character, because it goes well with dark beer.

Dumplings.  An independent dish that has no analogues in Russian cuisine. It is easy to mistake it for bread without a crust (especially if served with sauce), and in some cases this is true.
Dumpling is perhaps the most diverse dish of Czech cuisine: it is made from flour or potatoes, steamed and has a variation in the form of balls of dough with filling. In addition, they are often added to soups, so the dumplings are very reminiscent of the familiar dumplings.

Fried cheese.Everything ingenious is simple, and in the case of fried Czech cheese, it is simply double. Dip cheese in a beaten egg, flour and send to the pan - what could be tastier ?!
However, there are secrets here: far from any cheese is suitable for frying. The Czechs are crazy about the fat "Hermelin" and the specific Olomouc varieties, which after frying acquire a refined taste. Grilled cheese is an ideal beer snack: you should definitely try it.

Trdelnik.Traditional pastries, which are always served at every tea party, especially at Christmas. You probably know what it is: a strip of yeast dough wound around a spit has recently gained more and more fans in Russia.
With cinnamon, sugar, poppy seeds, filled with chocolate paste or just pastry topping - freshly baked trdelnik is great in any way. Gourmets recommend it as a replacement for croissant for morning aromatic coffee. Give it a try!

Holidays and events

In the Czech Republic, there are a large number of national holidays associated with gaining independence and the cultural and historical heritage of the country. Here are the main ones:

January 1 - New Year
May 8 - Victory Day
July 5 - Day of the Slavic Saints Cyril and Methodius
July 6 - Day of the execution of Jan Hus
September 28 - Day of Czech Statehood
October 28 - Day of the Czechoslovak Republic
November 17 - Day of the struggle for freedom and democracy
December 25 - Christmas

Unlike the countries of Western Europe, on public holidays almost all establishments in the sphere of trade and services are open. There are no problems with visiting attractions. The only inconvenience could be due to idle mail and banks.

Security

The sharp increase in living standards in the Czech Republic has become a prerequisite for the so-called "migration crime." But even so, Prague is considered a safe city for tourists.

The majority of crimes recorded by the Prague police are fraud and theft. Keep track of personal belongings and do not communicate with strangers. Especially, oddly enough, with a good Russian-speaking, the trust of our tourists in them, for obvious reasons, is especially high.

Do not take all the money with you: just in case, leave a part in the safe in the room or at the hotel reception.

When exchanging currencies, you also need to be careful: the euro / kroon rate is often disadvantageous. We advise you to compare several exchange points and choose with the lowest commission. Count money right away, as they say, without leaving the cash register!

"False police" fraud in Prague also takes place. Fraudsters demand documents from tourists, and then money for their return. In order not to be deceived, pay attention to the speech: real police officers will turn only in Czech and do not require documents from tourists. In extreme cases, you can always call the police (number 158) or contact the Russian consulate in Prague.

1. The most favorable exchange rate of the euro for crowns is in the “Arab” exchangers. These stalls are blue and easy to find. However, the money still needs to be recounted.

2.   If you will be walking around Prague on your own, pay attention to the public transport payment system. Tickets cost depends on their validity period - for 30, 90 minutes, 1 and 3 days.

3.   Until 2017, smoking in public places was allowed in the Czech Republic. However, it has now been banned. At the same time, tobacco products are sold freely. Be careful: the fine for breaking the law is 5,000 kroons (about 15,000 rubles).

In conclusion…

The Czech Republic is unique not only for its sights and cuisine, but also for its well-deserved place in European history. It was here that the oldest university in Central Europe was opened, and it was Prague that was one of the capitals of the Holy Roman Empire. The atmosphere of these and many other events of that time is preserved and preserved in Prague. Touching this amazing world is much more than just relaxing and eating!
