TOP 5 BEST CITIES TO LIVE IN THE CZECH REPUBLIC
PRAGUE
The best city to live in the Czech Republic is deservedly considered the capital – Prague. This is the largest settlement of the state, with a population of over 1.3 million people. Favorable place for family and labor immigration to the Czech Republic. Work in Prague provides an average income of about 1,100-1,200 euros per month after tax, and foreigners with high skills can expect to 1,500 euros or more. Many reputable publications include Prague in the list of the most beautiful cities in the world.
BRNO
Brno is the second most populous city in the Czech Republic after the capital with more than 400,000 inhabitants. A beautiful cosmopolitan metropolis that combines historical sites and modern architecture. One of the most popular destinations for foreigners to get a Czech work visa, even in spite of the lower level of wages compared to Prague. Brno has one of the best public transport systems in Europe, many festivals and a vibrant nightlife.
ČESKY KRUMLOV
Cesky Krumlov is a beautiful Czech town and a great place to live. It is located in the southern part of the country on the Vltava River. Only a little more than 13 thousand people permanently live here. The city is one of the centers of the world heritage of UNESCO and is the most popular among tourists after Prague. Every year up to 1.5 million people come here, and it is a pleasure to live here permanently. Certainly, Cesky Krumlov is not the best place to work or do business in the Czech Republic.
OSTRAVA
Ostrava is located in the north-east of the Czech Republic. The third largest city in the country (after Prague and Brno) with a population of about 289 thousand people. The old mining town is a perfect example of how to combine old traditions with modern style. After the repeated reduction of industrial production, the ecological situation and quality of life in Ostrava has improved considerably. One of the main advantages of moving to this particular Czech town is the lower real estate prices.
PLZEN
At the end of the rating of the best cities to live in the Czech Republic is Plzeň, located in the western part of the country, 90 km from Prague. It is the fourth largest city with a population of 178,000 people. It is considered the "capital" of Czech brewing with an ancient tradition and culture. Lovers of this frothy drink will certainly like it here. In addition, the world famous and most popular in the Czech Republic engineering company – Škoda Holding is based in Plzeň.
In conclusion, note that moving and living in the Czech Republic has not only positive aspects, but also negative. And it is not just the lack of seashore. In the country there are still elements of bureaucracy and corruption, the cost of rent for foreigners is often inflated, the locals speak little English, to find a high-paid job in the Czech Republic for applicants from abroad is quite difficult.
