"One of the most challenging aspects of retiring in Prague is the language barrier. Although English is widely spoken, Czech is the official language and many services and activities may require knowledge of the language. Additionally, the cost of living in Prague is relatively high, making it difficult to live comfortably on a fixed income. Furthermore, the healthcare system in Prague is not as comprehensive as in other countries, and it can be difficult to find quality medical care. Finally, the cultural differences between Prague and other countries can be difficult to adjust to, and it may take some time to become accustomed to the local customs," remarked another expat who made the move to Prague, Czechia.
