"It is important to be mindful of cultural differences when visiting Prague. It is important to be respectful of local customs and traditions, and to dress appropriately. Avoid making negative comments about the Czech Republic or its people, as this can be seen as offensive. Additionally, it is important to be aware of the local customs when it comes to tipping. In Prague, it is not customary to tip in restaurants, so it is best to check with the establishment before leaving a tip. Finally, it is important to be aware of the local laws and regulations, and to respect them," explained one expat living in Prague, Czechia.
