Greetings Expats! My husband might have an opportunity very quickly to move to Prague by the summer. I have many questions, please bare with me: Which district is best for families? Prague 2 or 6? International schools vs. local schools? Is there a good expat community? What is the average pay? Renting a house or apartment... are there better districts than others? I do not know where to start! Any information will be helpful. I have never been to Prague, and I am excited for this adventure. Thank you for your help! JCB

I am an American expat who has been living in Prague 6 for the past 13 years. I have four children who have grown up here and attended both private and Czech schools (Czech Mother). I can say unequivocally that Prague 6 is much better than Prague 2 for family life...especially an American expat family. I personally love Riverside School, but I am very fond of the director there so I am probably not unbiased. My children attended there for many years. Presently the two youngest are in Czech school and one attends English College in Prague....which is probably one of the best of it kind anywhere. They must be 13 years old to start there. Riverside starts them from 3 years. If there is anything you would like to know specifically just write and I will try to help.

Hi all, I am an Australian currently living in the Czech republic, and wondering the best way of getting a licence to drive in Europe. I do not speak Czech so an exam anytime soon in Czech is not going to happen. One suggestion was to hop across to the UK and get a licence there ?? Andrew

Hello. I was recently invited for a job interview in the Czech (Prague) and just today got an offer for the job. I was wondering how much it would cost me to live in the city central and food costs. I would also be interested to know how the prices of electronics compare to the UK for example. I have been offered a annually pay of 1,020,701 CZK (around 85k a month). I was wondering if this pay would be good enough to get a flat in the central of Prague and still have money left at the end of the month. Thanks, Daniel

vidigo replied most recently with:

Hello Daniel, I am Czech so I think I am able to answer your questions. The living costs depends on the part of the city where you want to live. For attempt flats in or close to the centre of Prague are the most expensive. If you decide to live on the periphery, you will find out that the flats are much less expensive. If you are offered by a gross wage 85 000 CZK (net wage = 60 000 CZK) per month, you will be certainly able to live like a king. Of course you can rent a very luxury flat for 50 000 CZK per month but average costs are about 15 - 20 000 CZK per month. Here you can find some links where you can buy some electronics and where you can compare the prices. http://www.alza.cz/ http://www.czc.cz/ http://tsbohemia.cz/ I am sorry for my English if any mistakes.
