What cultural faux pas should I try to avoid making in Cesky Krumlov?

Answer this Question

We asked people in Cesky Krumlov if they could share any humorous cultural blunders they commited. For new expats, keep in mind that these incidents are an inevitable part of expat life. Learning to laugh about them is the key!...

"When visiting Cesky Krumlov, it's important to respect the local customs and traditions. Avoid speaking loudly in public places, as Czech people are generally quiet and reserved. It's also considered rude to point or gesture excessively. When dining out, remember that it's customary to say "Dobrou chut" (Enjoy your meal) before eating. It's also considered impolite to leave food on your plate, so only order what you can finish. In the Czech Republic, it's common to greet people with a handshake. However, avoid doing so over a threshold, as it's considered bad luck. When visiting churches or other religious sites, dress modestly out of respect. Women should cover their shoulders and both genders should avoid wearing shorts or other revealing clothing. Avoid discussing sensitive topics such as politics, religion, and World War II. The Czech Republic has a complex history and these subjects can be controversial. Finally, always say "Dekuji" (Thank you) when someone provides a service or assistance. It's a small gesture that goes a long way in showing respect for the local culture," commented one expat who made the move to Cesky Krumlov, Czechia.
