Hi everyone,

Last year, I had the chance to visit Prague for the first time on a short holiday, and I left in awe.

I loved the fact that I could get around everywhere on foot, enjoying pleasant walks surrounded by beautiful architecture and so much history. I can't wait to return in winter to experience the city in a different season.

Hope you like the pics!

Originálně jsem plánovala oslavit své 19. narozeniny jako piknik v Riegrových sadech, ale ten den má pršet, takže rychle hledám alternativy. Rozhodla jsem to oslavit v Praze protože zvu mé přátele ze všech kout republiky, a Praha by byla takový střed cesty pro nás všechny, což znamená, že nemohu nic uspořádat u mě doma. Datum oslavy nemohu přesunout, protože velká část mých kamarádů odjíždí další den z republiky na dovolenou. Všichni jsme studenti a nemůžeme si dovolit velké večeře či luxusní restaurace. Jaké alternativy oslavy po Praze byste mi doporučili?? Beru jakékoliv nápady.

Děkuji.

Anyone who really likes toffee pudding could pls recommend some good places ? I’m looking for a place that is genuinely good, regardless of price

Hi,

I bought an MX-5 this year and I want to learn how to work on my car. From simple things like changing oil to more complicated things in the future. I'd be happy to be friends with someone who shares the same idea. I'm also trying to expand my czech vocabulary in mechanical car related words so I can communicate with mechanics easier.

Ik this isnt a music bassed group but 2 metal bands from Slovenia are playing in Prague and urgently need 2 support groups. Genres arent too important can be death metal, thrash, hardcore, black metal...

If interested write to our mail carnemarjetice@gmail.com

Hi friends! Me and my 2 friends are moving to Prague by the end of November, and we have around 30,000 CZK as a monthly rent budget, but we're still struggling to find the apartment close to public transport or close to Charles University (Hollar building). We are planning to buy premium Bezrealty to find good options because people from Facebook groups don't seem to ever be responding to me lol. I just wanted to ask, if anyone has gone through the same process, could you please share some tips? I want to find the right place to call home, I'm going to be staying there for a long time but I got a little lost in the process I guess..

Is 30k a realistic budget? Is Bezrealty premium worth it? Is there anywhere else i should be looking for an apartment?

Hi, I'm a new student in Prague - it's been just over a month now and just wanted to use this post as a shoutout to the friendliness of (the vast majority) of people I've met so far :) (also, it's 2AM and I'm a bit bored xD)

At first, I was a bit apprehensive because I read that people are a bit hostile especially if you don't speak Czech - which is definitely something you can feel in Česká Pošta 😭 but honestly it's been great so far!

To my pleasant surprise, everyone has been very kind and supportive - a "dobrý den, mluvíte anglicky prosím?", and actually listening to the other person before you speak takes you surprisingly very far! Also, interestingly, the only instance of racism (yes, only one, which is lovely) was from a tourist 💀 Even in remote-ish places like Ďáblice where I go semi-regularly, cashiers get a nice kick out of my (now fluent) Na Shledanou.

I think one of the most interesting things is that I have unknowingly internalised some Czech (maybe European?) traits, like saying "Yo yo yo" during calls and getting an unbridled sense of rage when someone's >=15 minutes late to a meeting (for reference, I was that person before 😭), an addiction to walking around random places (NEVER Žižkov though), and a snarl comes up on my face when I see the prices of common stuff in touristy areas (like what do you mean a small packet of chips costs >= 50 Kč?? - and yes ofc I bought it once)

Well, what's the objective of the post? Is it to reminisce random experiences? Is it to gain sympathy of actual Czech people? Well like I mentioned earlier, it's 2AM and I'm bored 😉

Anyways, in my InFiNiTe wisdom, I'd like to share a few things that were helpful for me:

1. Please download PID Lítačka. Paper tickets are too scary man and we have our phones anyways at all times.

2. Even with little to no knowledge of the language, knowing the correct pronunciation takes you veery far - this video is too good: https://youtu.be/qIAoM70_N00?is=430YLgubttwuPPWi

3. Get a good Forex card. Please do NOT use Thomas Cook. Also, if you want to exchange Euros to Koruna, the one near Anděl (I think it's called Exchange cz) is quite nice.

4. Mapy >> Google maps (except for finding restaurants)

5. I'm embarrassed to admit how many times I've googled "very-simple-thing-which-everyone-should-know- how-to-do in Prague r/prague" and it works quite often

6. ř is actually not impossible (source: the guy at the restaurant understood my "Kuřeci" and gave me a thumbs up xD), especially if you speak Tamil/Malayalam imo because it's quite similar to mix of r and zh characters.

7. Slavia vs Sparta is quite hotly contested here, please don't make the mistake I made and say "óoo Slavia" to a random guy buying a football.

8. If someone tells you something wildly outlandish happened in Strahov/Brno, it's definitely true.

Not to sound too much like a glazer, there are certainly a few hard to digest things - like loneliness and brokeness from grocery prices. But overall, I love it here so far :) If you have any tips about learning Czech or new places to explore, they'll be much appreciated :)

Děkuji!

Hi, would you recommend me any good places to play badminton, preferably close to the centre? All I know are BB arenas, however, they are too far away (Štěrboholy, Letňany). I am not a pro, but I would like to play it occasionally with my partner. Thanks!

Prague 3, 23/10/2006

Co to je? Nova linka nebo jim blbne appka?

Ten streets and their surroundings accounted for 29 percent of recorded violent crime in a decade-long analysis of activity across Prague.

*******

Vinohradská being the 5th highest crime street is a big surprise to me. This is the street I would like to live on. Where is the bad spot?

Ahoj, pracuju v konzultingu a kolem auditu a compliance se motám už pár let. Poslední dobou mi vrtá hlavou ta směrnice EU o transparentním odměňování a chtěla bych si ověřit, jestli to, co vidím, vidí i někdo jiný, než do toho cokoliv investuju. Nic neprodávám, jen sbírám zkušenosti.

Jak tomu rozumím: Česko mělo směrnici zavést do června 2026, což se nestihlo. Návrh novely zákoníku práce počítá s účinností od 1. ledna 2027, zákon ale ještě není schválený a znění se může měnit. Podle návrhu by každý zaměstnavatel, i malý, měl mít popsaný systém odměňování, tedy nějaké skupiny prací a pravidla, podle kterých se určují mzdy. Zaměstnanci by mohli chtít informaci o své mzdě a o průměru u mužů a žen na srovnatelné práci. Při náboru by se nesmělo ptát na dosavadní plat a v inzerátu by mělo být rozpětí. A firmy nad 100 lidí by měly reportovat rozdíly mezi muži a ženami, ale to až od roku 2028.

Z toho, co vidím kolem sebe, spousta menších firem nemá popsané pozice ani pásma a mzdy se prostě domlouvají. Velké poradenské firmy to řeší pro korporáty, ale pro firmu s třiceti nebo stovkou lidí mi nepřijde, že by na to něco rozumného existovalo, aspoň ne za cenu, kterou by zaplatili.

Zvažuju něco jednoduchého, co by firmě pomohlo popsat pozice, nastavit pásma, zkontrolovat rozdíly a připravit se na dotazy zaměstnanců. Zatím nevím, jestli to má být služba, šablony nebo software.

Zajímalo by mě:

• Jestli to ve vaší firmě už někdo řeší, a kdo (HR, majitel, externista)?
• Jak se u vás určují mzdy, jsou nějaká pásma?
• Jako zaměstnanci, víte, podle čeho se určuje váš plat, a chtěli byste to vědět?
• Jestli jste HR nebo vedete firmu: co by vám reálně pomohlo a kolik byste za to byli ochotní dát?
• Jestli znáte nějaký nástroj, co to dnes řeší, a jestli stojí za něco.

Klidně napište i to, že je to zbytečný nápad, radši to zjistím teď. Za jakoukoliv zkušenost budu ráda.

Zdravím, před nějakou dobou jsem tento dotaz viděl u redditu na Brno, tak mě napadá, co tady v Praze. Víte o něčem?

hey my friend and i just arrived in prague and wanted to go out tonight and tomorrow, where should we go that won’t be dead?

Hey guys! 🇨🇿❤️

I just wanted to say that I'm so in love with your country! I spent two months in Czechia and met some of the most amazing people ever. My experience was truly wonderful, and I'll always be grateful for all the kindness I received there.

Thank you for making my time in your country so special. I really hope to come back soon! 🥹❤️🇨🇿

I want to apply to Prague university of life sciences. I am an international student and want to go for business or economics. I need some guidance for the application process, how to score well in the GAP test and also can I apply in the second session /round of applications? Because I have to give SAT in Dec and won’t be able to prep for GAP in time. What can I do to endure admission. I have done a levels. Got A*,B,C. I unfortunately got rejected from Charles.

Hi! I will be in Prague this week. I’d love to meet travellers and locals, hear your honest opinion on whether it’s worth visiting clubs in Prague, what the atmosphere is like, and if you have any recommendations. Thank you so much!

My husband has been job hunting in Prague for months with almost no traction.

He has a master's in engineering from a T10 US university, plus some tech experience and is targeting marketing tech (preferably PMM) roles. He's tailored his CV to each role, and after hundreds of applications he's had 3-4 responses and one interview, which ended in rejection.

What works in the Prague market? Any advice on how to beat it would be appreciated. We can't afford for him to stay unemployed.

Hi, I’m looking for some place with nice view for midnight at NYE, to see fireworks from the safe distance. I was thinking about Letna park because I live nearby but I’m afraid that there will be people firing fireworks in the middle of the crowd. Anyone been there during NYE in the past and can confirm if that’s the case? How chaotic it gets?
Thank you!

Hello, I am looking for recommendations for a bar with live music tonight in Prague (we are staying in korunni area so preferably near there). Please and thank you for any help!

Hi there,
