When tourists land in the Czech Republic, the vast majority never get any further than the city limits of Prague. While the capital is undoubtedly a stunning city, rich in historical and cultural attractions, there is so much more to explore beyond its borders. Here are some of the towns and countryside areas that will knock the socks off those people adventurous enough to give them a try. Liberec It’s almost a cliché at this point for tourists to visit an industrial city in central or eastern Europe simply because of the price of its beer, but in the case of Liberec, it truly is an up and coming place that’s well worth a day or two of your time. Besides excellent local architecture and museums, there is even high-quality skiing to be done in the nearby Jizera Mountains where you can use that free bet you’ve had your eye on to back the local football team, FC Slovan Liberec. České Budějovice This town is particularly famous for its beer, with the revered Budweiser brewery being based here. Yes, that’s right, Budweiser was a Czech thing long before Americans ever discovered it. In our honest opinion, the Czech version is infinitely more...

For non-military American citizens living abroad, voting from Prague requires extra effort. While many countries allow voting at the embassies, the United States uses an absentee mailing system for its citizens abroad. Local election offices manage absentee ballots. Voting is not mandatory for Americans, like it is for Brazilians or Australians, although some consider it a patriotic duty. Midterm elections usually have a dramatic fall in voter turnout, but 2020 is a presidential election year. Americans voting from Prague can request an absentee ballot with a few minutes and perhaps the cost of postage. The August 1st deadline is approaching, so request your ballot as soon as possible. Are You Eligible Voting From Prague? Across all fifty states, American citizens age 18 and older are eligible to vote. Even American citizens who have...
Worse access to homeownership, a shortage of apartments for rent. But also, an economic cooldown, frozen growth of salaries, and inflation. Czech people who don’t live in a home they own will have to prepare for a significant increase in housing costs. This might reach such a degree that Prague could follow the “American rent” scenario – rent which is so high that a family spends most of its income on it. The turning point might arrive mainly at the moment when citizens of Prague stop considering renting as a temporary solution. Even though in recent weeks it might have seemed that prices of rental apartments could be going down, the opposite is more likely. That’s because the current decrease is related to a specific type of real estate and represents a local, and most likely temporary, anomaly. And it won’t depend only on the speed with which mass tourism returns to Prague. This is because the highest number of people to date is looking for rental apartments and the demand is higher than the number of newly vacated apartments; logically, this leads to an increase in price, especially in big cities.

České dráhy is going to release a new version of My Train app, to simplify the purchase of tickets in a significant way. It will be possible to buy them much faster than in the past, and in fact just in a few clicks. The update will come to the existing users gradually, not later than by the end of June. “During the update, we have used the development of new technologies and at the same time we responded to the wishes of our users who were sending us their ideas concerning the improvement of individual functions,” explains Roman Menc, ČD Web Manager and one of the application creators, adding: “It is the second-largest update of the application in its history. The new version will be received by users gradually with updates.” “Passengers can buy a ticket with a lower number of clicks. The app is able to display the exact price of the service found already at the beginning of the shopping process, and it makes it possible to quickly toggle between car classes, including an immediate price calculation,” says Menc. Push notifications with service information At the same time, České dráhy starts to send news with push notifications....

Czech people are learning to buy even their basic consumer goods online. E-commerce won’t be returning to its pre-pandemic tracks The ongoing pandemic is motivating both retailers as well as consumers to take advantage of the capacities of e-commerce. The share of e-commerce in the Czech GDP will increase to as much as 2.7%. Companies no longer expect the situation to return to its pre-coronavirus state; shopping online will become the standard even for those types of products that had been bought exclusively in brick-and-mortar stores. Closed shops, restaurants not operating. At first, losing the option to shop in brick-and-mortar stores seemed to represent a significant obstacle for many customers. Fortunately for them, and for many companies as well, the alternative to traditional shopping already existed – and therefore shopping and transactions shifted online on a mass scale. “From the customer’s point of view, this is a completely natural development. Customers have learned to easily procure those commodities which they used to purchase in retail store online. This confirms the fact that e-commerce is fully capable of replacing classic retail services,” says Michal Šejba, the regional manager of the Exactly company. According to Shoptet.cz data, e-commerce related to food, delivery,...
