Wonderful castles and chateaux, world famous spas, unspoiled countryside, historical cities – all of this is Czechia.
Since the Velvet Revolution in 1989, Czechia has become a highly popular destination. Tens of thousands of foreigners have happily settled here, enjoying the country’s combination of a high standard of living and low costs.
Although in most respects life in Czechia has rapidly approached western standards of living, the cost of living remains substantially lower than in Western Europe. Prague and many other cities are famous for their architectural heritage, museums, theaters, cinemas, galleries and cafés. An overwhelming choice of cultural events is on offer, embracing all types of music and an outstanding theatrical tradition. A number of foreign cultural centers, ranging from the British Council to the Goethe-Institut, also offer a wide range of events and services.
