Prague

Budget covers basic shared flat and cooking at home, comfortable gets you a nice 1-bed and eating out regularly, luxury includes prime location and frequent dining.

Long-term contracts offer much better value but require Czech bank account and deposit, while short-term furnished places are readily available on Airbnb and Flatio.

The metro, tram, and bus system is excellent, punctual, and covers the entire city, making a monthly pass the best investment.

Prague has consistently fast fiber internet in most apartments and cafes, with providers like O2 and Vodafone offering unlimited data plans.

Czech cuisine is hearty and affordable, with amazing beer culture, but Western-style cafes and restaurants charge tourist-area prices.

Prague has a mature coworking scene with dozens of spaces, many cafes welcome laptop workers, and most offer 24/7 access with solid communities.

Most nomads use the 90-day Schengen tourist visa and do visa runs, or apply for a long-term freelance/business visa which requires local registration and paperwork.

Prague is very safe with low violent crime, but stay alert for pickpockets on crowded trams and at tourist spots like Charles Bridge and Old Town Square.

Winter is cold and dark with limited daylight which can affect mood, while summer is pleasant but brings tourist crowds to central areas.

Prague has a thriving expat and nomad scene with regular meetups, events, and a welcoming English-speaking community that's easy to plug into.
