Couchsurfing in Czech Republic: travel guide
Updated · Written for travellers staying with local hosts
The Czech Republic, also called Czechia, combines fairy-tale old towns with a famously relaxed pub culture, and staying with local hosts helps you find the side of Prague and Brno that most tourists miss. Czechs can seem reserved at first, but hosts usually warm up quickly over a beer in a neighbourhood hospoda. Prague attracts many international residents, students and creatives, while Brno, the second city, is a student hub with an increasingly lively bar and food scene. Outside the cities, Czechs love hiking, cottages (chata) and the countryside, and weekend trips to the mountains are a national habit. Bohemia in the west and Moravia in the east have distinct identities, with Moravia known for its wine. English is widely spoken by younger people, while older people may speak some German or Russian.
Where to couchsurf in Czech Republic
Getting around Czech Republic
Trains run by České dráhy, along with private operators RegioJet and Leo Express, connect most cities affordably. RegioJet also runs cheap, comfortable coaches. Regional buses reach smaller towns and hiking areas. BlaBlaCar ridesharing is used between cities. Hitchhiking is legal and fairly common, especially on routes out of cities. Prague has an excellent metro, tram and bus network on an integrated ticket, and Brno has a large tram network.
Czech Republic on a budget
The Czech Republic is good value, though Prague's centre has become more expensive. Beer is often cheaper than soft drinks in local pubs. Lunch menus (polední menu) at local restaurants offer soup and a main for a modest price. Bakeries, street sausage stands and supermarkets such as Lidl, Albert and Billa help keep costs low. Costs bite in Old Town Prague restaurants, currency exchange booths with poor rates and tourist trap bars.
Hospitality culture in Czech Republic
A handshake is the normal greeting, and Czechs value politeness without much fuss. Shoes are almost always taken off at the door, and many homes keep slippers for guests. Lunch is often the main meal and is eaten fairly early. When toasting, say na zdraví and make eye contact while clinking glasses. Czechs appreciate guests who try a few Czech words, such as dobrý den and děkuji. A bottle of wine, sweets or a treat from your country makes a nice gift.
Best time to visit Czech Republic
Late spring and early autumn are best for comfortable sightseeing, while summer brings crowds to Prague. December has Christmas markets but can be cold and grey.
