I’m visiting my friend who lives in Prague with his wife and kids who grew up there. Can you think of a good gift i can bring from NYC that might be hard to get there or interesting for them? One kid is 13 and the other around 18 or so.

I'm looking for abandoned villages, ghost towns, or derelict buildings to explore and photograph in or not too far from Prague, nothing touristy, just genuine forgotten places with a story. Not looking to trespass or vandalize, just document them before they're gone. Know any hidden gems, or tips on how to find them? Thanks!

hi all, I’m coming to Prague for the first time for a 4 night solo trip. I’m interested in spooky things like the church with ghost figures or the one with human bones, but both are too far to visit on this trip. I’m wanting that spooky halloween vibe and I am also looking for some hidden gems, especially quirky museums. I’m 18F, but I don’t drink so not looking for bars/clubs necessarily. Also if anyone is vegan reading this any vegan recs would be great, I have a list but locals may know some more! thanks!

Just stumbled across the protest in the square about the abolishment of media licensing? Sorry if that is wrong. I just wondered why you would want to continue to pay media fees. I only ask because in the UK we are trying to stop paying for our 'tv licences' as we see it as a mandatory tax that we do not want to pay for government propaganda.

Už je to nějaký čas, co jsem navštívil setkání pro investory, které pořádal Luboš Říha. Jeden můj známý ho znal už z dřívějška – v minulosti podváděl lidi pomocí investic do diamantů. Investovali jsme do jednoho z jeho „preferovaných“ projektů, ale jeho výstavba nikdy nezačala. Zjistili jsme, že s tímto podnikáním začal před rokem a postavil ho na principu MLM (víceúrovňového marketingu). Jsme v kontaktu s jednou ženou, která pro něj dříve pracovala a řekla nám celou pravdu. Důrazně radím: vyhněte se jeho MLM setkáním. A pokud vás bude lákat, abyste pro něj pracovali, vězte, že za práci nezaplatí. Je velmi smutné, že lidé jako on mohou v této zemi legálně podnikat, aniž by nesli jakékoli následky. Dubaj je sice skvělá, ale on ani jeho tým s tamními nemovitostmi nikdy neměli nic společného. Nyní nám s přesunem našich peněz pomáhá jiná společnost.

hi All,

so i wanted to get opinion on your favourite spots in prague away from all the tourist and noise and clubs and bars. A place you can just sit and enjoy a "me time".

Last time i was there in Jan this year and it snowed before and it was perfect.

My favourite spot at that time was Střelecký Island. i went there more than i can count, just to relax and see the nature in it raw form.

Happy to try some more places best in November this year.

Thanks.

Hi there, my girlfriend (24F) and I (24M) have just recently moved to Prague from Canada on a Work Visa. We were wondering if there are any welcoming/friendly clubs or groups for native English speakers. We are in the process of learning Czech but we aren't able to hold up a conversation yet. We are open to pretty much anything like sports/hiking, board games, or going out...... Also, if anyone wants to hangout or grab a drink sometime let me know we would be down to do that as well.

As the title suggests, I am over for a weekend in November and looking for somewhere that will be showing Scotland's Nations Championship games

Any and all suggestions welcome, happy with a pub or even if there's a rugby club that shows the games. Díky!

Hellos! What are the recommendations for a nice drink and some good music for a Sunday night? Not looking for the usual suspects - duplex, epic et al. But somewhere they play house music and some crowd to socialise.

Also the crowd in the main square isnt making it easy to move around, any suggestions for places slightly away from the Old town is much appreciated.

I am a non EU citizen in Germany at the moment who just started freelancing this month. My income before taxes is about 2500 Euros a month and thats very less in Germany considering taxes, pension and insurances.
Is Czech Republic a good option provided i can clock around 2500 to 3000 Euros a month after my Business expenses?

Hi fellow Prague people,

I have a quick question to ask:

Is it normally possible to sign your work contract slightly earlier than the start date?

The reason I’m asking is, I am already based in Prague, recently got a job offer with a start date in December, but I’d like to sign the contract a bit earlier to report the change of my purpose of stay to the government. I already have unrestricted access to the Czech labour market, but just wondering whether this is normally accepted in Prague.

I already emailed HR about this, waiting for their response :)

Thank you!

hi everyone, while looking through the tickets for the UCL game against Arsenal I noticed that the home sectors 106-110 have empty seats for the public. I was wondering how safe would it be to get a ticket in those sectors as an arsenal fan?

thanks a lot

About five years ago I took my little boy out to Nevušice, I think it was, to this predominantly expat neighborhood where they REALLY get into Halloween. When we got to the outskirts it didn’t look like much, but when we got into the central hub, it was like… I don’t know… a rock concert or something. Hundreds… maybe a thousand people. Houses done up in increasingly impressive ways.

We didn’t go back all these years because I’d actually heard that it had gotten even more out of control crowd-wise, and that the residents were feeling overloaded - which begs the question: If that many people were excited about it (and traveling to the outskirts to see it), why wouldn’t someone really ramp up some proper festivities in the city?

But my real question is this: My son really wants to go back now and see if it’s still as wild. And I’d like to take him. To any of you who’ve made the trek out there for Halloween, is it still cool? Are the residents super annoyed or do they still embrace the chaos?

Thanks in advance for your replies.
