Vegetarian and vegan options may be limited. The weather in Telc is temperate, with warm summers and cold, snowy winters.

The Czech Republic is part of the Schengen Area, so visa requirements will depend on your nationality. It's important to check these before you move. The local currency is the Czech koruna, not the Euro, so you'll need to get used to a new currency. The pace of life in Telc is slower than in larger cities, which can be a big adjustment if you're used to a fast-paced urban lifestyle. The town is a UNESCO World Heritage site, so there are strict regulations about altering buildings in the town center. If you're planning to buy property, this is something to keep in mind. Finally, the Czech people are known for being reserved and private, so it may take some time to form close relationships. However, they are also known for their hospitality and love of good food and drink, so socializing often revolves around shared meals," said one expat in Telc.
