My experience in Prague, by Lucía
Why did you choose to go to Prague?
Firstly, I'd recommend to go to Prague because the cost of living here is really cheap although it's a European capital. Besides, the city itself is beautiful, there's always something new to see or enjoy.
What about public transportation? Is it good?
It is, definitely. One of the things that caught my attention was how punctual the transportation services were. In addition, it's quite cheap and you can by a monthly or few days pass which is still more economical.
What is the weather like in Prague?
I'm not going to lie, the weather here is not pretty good, specially in winter. I come from Barcelona where the weather is nice, so I can feel the difference. I caught a cold 4 days after moving to Prague, so I recommend you to take coats, gloves, hats and everything you have to protect yourself from the cold.
Would you recommend to study in Prague?
With no doubt whatsoever, the atmosphere that fills the university is unique. Besides, there are lots of Spanish people studying here, so you're not going to be alone.
What can you see in this city?
Museums, museums and museums. This city is brimming with art.
Where would you recommend to go on a night out in Prague?
I go to Cross Club and Sasazu Club.
How much money do I need to survive in this city?
I think you do more than cover all expenses with 500€ per month, though it of course depends on your lifestyle. As I said, it is a really cheap city.
Is it possible to work in Prague?
If you have a good CV and can speak some languages, then Czech companies will fight to hire you. Salaries in Prague are nothing to write home about but, considering how cheap it is to live here, it is fine.
Is there any other advice that you could give to the people who want to live and work in Prague?
Yes, I would recommend searching for information. Few websites will provide you with the information you may need if you want to live in Prague for a long period of time.
