The Czech Republic has the seventh most powerful passport in the world for 2018, according to an annual ranking system. A recent study by Henley & Partners, a London-based consulting firm that specializes in citizenship services, rates world passports based on how much visa-free travel they entitle their owner to. People carrying a Czech passport can easily enter 173 countries, along with Malta and New Zealand. Singaporean and Japanese passports have been determined the most powerful in the world for 2018. The two countries overtook Germany from their 2017 rankings of fourth and fifth respectively to claim the number-one position. Coming in third are the passports of France, Italy, Spain, Denmark, Finland, Sweden and South Korea. They all have visa-free access to 178 countries. The British passport has remained joint fourth, while the USA has remained fifth on the list.

Sarka and Angus Grundy agreed to help a refugee family for six months and became close friends with a Syrian couple and their daughter. The two couples met through a programme sponsored by UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency, which pairs Czech volunteers with refugees who need help learning the ropes in their new country. “This has become a real friendship,” says Sarka. The original agreement was for her to help Syrian refugees Farid* and Wafa* and their daughter Hiba for six months but now, long past beyond the allotted time, she jokes: “No one can stop us being friends.” Volunteers help refugees navigate their way through the bureaucracy and learn Czech ways of doing things, but Sarka says this family has needed little practical assistance. Farid and Wafa are not the real names of the Syrian couple in their thirties. They have been in the Czech Republic for almost five years but are still reluctant to disclose their identities, fearing reprisals against relatives in Syria. “When a refugee or asylum-seeker comes here, he may find a job but it is always below our level.” says Farid. He has learned Czech but his professional qualifications from Syria are not recognized, so he works...
If you’ve lived in the Czech Republic for some time now, your attitude to life has probably changed a lot thanks to the Czech cultural influence. Let’s face it, you know you’ve basically become a native Czech if these apply to you! 1) You say dobrý den and say Nashledanou to all the people you encounter during the day: neighbors, shop assistants, and even strangers in the elevator. 2) The weekend is sacred, so it’s useless to worry about work issues from six o’clock on Friday evening. 3) You know a lot about dumplings and can easily name a few of their varieties. 4) You adore “collecting” discounts in stores and on various discount websites. 5) Words like Václavák, Staromak, Kulaťák are in your lexicon. 6) There are no “urgent matters” to you anymore. In life, there are no worries or problems that can’t wait until tomorrow. 7) The best rest is an active rest. If your weekend was not spent in the fresh air, then it was wasted. 8) You never leave your house without your backpack. 9) You embrace equality and consider it normal not to pay for a girl in a cafe and don’t usually give her a hand when...
This pilgrimage church, built in honor of St John of Nepomuk, a 14th-century martyr canonized in the 18th century, stands at Zelená Hora, not far from Ždár nad Sázavou in Moravia. Constructed at the beginning of the 18th century on a star-shaped plan, it is the most unusual work by the great architect Jan Blazej Santini, whose highly original style falls between neo-Gothic and Baroque. The composition of the property is based on the aesthetic concept of a perfect central complex with an explicit central vertical dominant. The symbolic five The layout of the building has mystical aspects mentioned in the even at the time when it was complete. The basic principle is the composition of the five-pointed star (five-pointed ground plan, five entrances, five altar niches, twenty-five chapels around a central space, five stars and five angels on the high altar), the symbol not only of the five wounds of Christ, but also of the five letters in the Latin word „tacui“ (I kept silent) and above all the five stars in the halo of the martyr St. John of Nepomuk, which the legend tells us were seen above his drowned body. The purpose of the church, which was financed...
A Swedish father, whose love of Czech beer is quite astonishing, has vowed to fight against a ruling which says that he cannot name his three-month-old son “Pilzner”. The father changed his own name to Matz Pilzner Johannesson as an adult. Speaking to Swedish TV he said, “I only drink Pilsner and since I was young, I have been referred to as Pilzner.” “My father was also known as Pilzner because he used to drink Pilsner.” The Swedish tax agency, Skatteverket rejected the name as they believed it would “give offense or be seen to cause discomfort for the bearer.” The family have said they will continue to fight to carry on their family tradition.
