  • It is quite common when you go to eat at restaurants, to be seated with another person or couple. This usually doe snot happen in touristy restaurants but it does at the ones that have a local crowd.

    So don't be surprised, and take advantage of that: that person usually lives there and know everything about the town you are actually trying to discover!

    Language: Learn a few basic Czech words

  • Just as in any country, local people really appreciate when you make an effort to speak their language. Even if it is just the word "hello" or "thank you", so learn a few basic words. They will really value your attempt to learn Czech, and as they are generally very friendly people, will easily help you and share a lot of things with you.

    Even if English is the international language, Czech is still theirs so don't expect to have menus in English, or for them to understand everything you say.

    It might seem like a very obvious tip to some of you, but trust me, I have witnessed many times tourists complaining and saying "How can they not have a menu in English!!!!"

    In restaurant: Table setting charge

  • At most restaurants, you will be charged for a "table setting charge", meaning the table settings and the bread. This is normal, so don't think you're being robbed!

    Anyway, it is a very low fee... See it as a discounted 15-20% tip we leave in the US!

    And if you were happy with your service, it does not hurt to leave a few coins and let the struggling waiter/waitress know you were happy with their service =)

     We didn't know about wine tasting tour while we visited Prague! It sounds nice! Maybe next time...:)

     w0w, that's fascinating info about the John Lennon wall! I'm glad it's still there (even if not the original) and hope the people there are now free to adorn it as they wish.
