Do many Brits live in Prague..are you only allowed to do so, if you work there?

In my time,I%26#39;ve met many Brits living and working in Prague.Pre EU it was necessary to get work permits etc, but since 2004 free movement of labour, you can live work or just live anywhere you want within EU.

Kutna Hora or Cesky Krumlov???

Hi!!! I%26#39;ll be spending 3 days in Prague with my wife in november. Wich place is (more) worthy to visit in a one-day trip???. I believe Kutna Hora is closer to Prague than Cesky Krumlov, but what about the sites?? Should we miss some Prague sites instead and visit one of these destinations???

Tour Guide

While in Prague, my husband and I hired Dana Chaloupka (danachal@volny.cz) as a guide. Dana very very knowledgable and a delight to be around. David and I didn%26#39;t want the day to end. She also introduced us to a charming restaurant, U Vladare.

My husband and I hired Dana as well and she was wonderful! Without hesitation I would recommend her to anyone visiting Prague. We even ended up hiring her for a second day because she was so knowledgeable.

multi-city trip Prague/Rome

I will be in Prague the first week of November and would like to spend a few days at the end of the trip in Rome. Ideally, I%26#39;d like to book a multi-city trip:





BHM-PRG



PRG-Rome



Rome-BHM





But my initial searches have shown this option to be very expensive.





I%26#39;ve flown multi-city trips before that added only a small amount to the total cost. Am I overlooking something here?





Thank you.

Guitar player by the river

Hey everyone,





Just got back from Prague, truly enjoyed my time there. Wonderful city with lots of magnificent beer.





There is a place called %26#39;Zahradka u Kristiana%26#39;, it%26#39;s right by the river like 500m south of Charles bridge. And from Monday to Thursday last week, there was a guy there playing a lot of great songs on acoustic guitar and singing. I enjoyed it immensely, so much so that I kept returning there to have a beer, enjoy the view and listen to great live music. I talked to him several times but didn%26#39;t get around to asking his name. He mentioned he was from Toronto.





I was wondering if anybody knows anything about him. I%26#39;d love to return to Prague and still enjoy my time as much as I enjoyed it this time around. This guy really played a part in my experience of the city.a





I hope this story didn%26#39;t bore you to death, any info is appreciated ) And if you%26#39;re going to Prague soon, definitely check out this place, it%26#39;s amazing.




|||



SV going in 3wks so will check this guy out, so glad you enjoyed your visit, we are looking forward to ours..




|||



Yeah he said he%26#39;s gonna be there till the end of September, so you%26#39;ll make it )



Good luck on your trip!




|||



We are going to be in Prague dist 1 late this September for 4 nights.







Can we find pubs or clubs there that cater for 50plus people.







Also can anyone recomand us some nice and not too expensive restaurants in this district.











Thanks

Drivers Licence

My wife and I are planning on driving through Czech Republic from Slovakia into Hungary, via Prague and some other places. We%26#39;ve read about the Motorway sticker, but were wondering whether it%26#39;s ok to drive with Australian Drivers licences?





Any other advice re:Paperwork, border control?




|||



I am not sure about Czech, I know your licence is good in the UK but that%26#39;s maybe due to historical ties. It would do no harm to get the International Licence just in case. There is no border control between the above countries due to Schengen agreement, but you will need your passport and the car hire documentation and the driving licence.




|||



europeshoppe.com.au/car_rental/…index.shtml - found this website, looks like you need one




|||



assuming there is nothing special with aussie driving license and it is standard driving licence under all these international agreements (geneva 1949 + vienna 1968) so you can drive with it as a tourist with no problems.





motorway sticker is for:



1000CZK yearly



330CZK monthly



220CZK weekly





you can get them at almost all fuel stations, mind that they can be out of stock with weekly and monthly ones. (just try next one :)

public transport or hotel transfer ?

will be staying at Falkensteiner Hotel Maria these are the direction they have provided





From the Ruzyne airport by public transport:



- Bus nr. 119 to the terminus Dejvicka



- Change to underground line A/green line and go to the stop Museum



- Change to line C/red line and go just one stop to Hlavni nadrazi.



- The hotel is located right across the little park, 50 m away ‏





Seem straight forward to me but I will be arriving In Prague at around 9.30pm so I guess want be at the hotel till late in the evening about 10.30 my guess



My question is will I be able to get the above transport easily this late at night or should I organize a hotel transfer






|||



you will not have any issues, underground operates till midnight. (or you can take a taxi as all we do :), it will be approx 400-450czk)
