Why is Prague One of the World's Best Cities for Remote Working

Many people look at the Czech Republic and even consider moving there, but they change their minds and choose a more well-known country. But those who tried it, and especially its capital Prague, found a remote working experience that rivalled the most sought-after capitals of Europe - even with some benefits that you’d be hard-pressed to find anywhere else. Here is why.

While Prague is the most expensive city in the Czech Republic, when compared with other western towns that bring to the table the amount of fun and opportunities as Prague does, it’s a steal. Even a tiny one-bedroom apartment in the city centre can be rented for as little as €600, and the general cost of living for one person per month is around €600 without rent. And if you get a mid-term rental from Flatio, you can be sure that your move will be hustle free.

Prague calls out to people from all over the world, and it shows. The city is very multicultural with rarely a place where you won’t hear English or other world languages. This is great because of the vibrant and helpful ex-pat community and as an opportunity for networking and finding new projects. The Czech Republic is very much the kind of place where 80% of opportunities come from showing up – so make sure you are both in ex-pat and Czech circles that interest you if you don’t want to miss out on anything. While ex-pats can tell you all about the administration and their experiences with living in a foreign country, Czechs will give you a better understanding of the country and where to have fun.

Prague is one of the most vibrant cities in Europe – it even placed third as the best city for entertainment as ranked by the culture website TimeOut. From traditional art like theatre, ballet, classical music orchestras to cinemas, small clubs with live music, galleries, and more, culture lives strong in Prague.

It also has a vibrant sports scene. The city itself is packed with gyms, public swimming pools, cycling roads, and others. Also, thanks to the city’s position, it has beautiful countryside not far from it, so hiking or even canoeing have become staples of the Czech ports scene. Speaking of sports, spectating of sports events is as popular as anywhere, with football, hockey, basketball, and even volleyball or tennis all having their communities of dedicated fans and commentators to enjoy.

One of the best things about Prague is how easy it is to navigate it thanks to its public transport system. Whether metro, bus, tram or even boat you can get through the city quickly and cheaply. The system is reliable and fully integrated, which means that you can easily change from one type of transportation to the next without having different tickets for them. Together with the IOS app, which automatically calculates the fastest connection from one stop to the other across various types of transportations, you will be where you need to be in no time.
