hi, I think czech money is expensive. Because once I tried to buy a house and it costed me $515,709.67 CZK. and In canada I got a house for $219,000 CAD. So i say move to canada if you want a cheaper house. also the gas is $3.01 cad for 1 letter of gas. and in czech it was $36.89 CZK. so go Canada

#Anna on May 05, 2013 :

I totally disagree about restaurant and market prices, they are 10-15 per cent higher than the ones mentioned, as well as the rent per month price, to rent a 1 bedroom appartment in the city centre for 15 000 czk per month is as unreal, as to rent the same one outside the city centre for 8 000 czk. Usually the same size appartment outside the centre starts at about 12 000 - 15 czk, and prices in the centre really vary. More reliable is to check source reality.cz for this information

#Prague is awesome! on Mar 12, 2013 :

Prague is great if you have saved up your Euros, Aussie dollars or American dollars! If you find work, live and work in Prague, its wonderful, knowing you have that back up cash! It really is worth it in the summer, as you can make cheap trips to other Euro countries and see a whole lot! There are a lot of tourists in Prague so it has that unique atmosphere of Czech whilst you can still speak to a lot of English speaking tourists. Plus the centre is just stunning!

#Tom on Mar 02, 2013 :

Yes, you could.

#Alex on Feb 23, 2013 :

Could someone please tell me if, with a salary of 30000 CZK (or roughly 1200 Euros), I could live pretty ok in Prague, and maybe even put some money aside. Factors to consider would be that I'd want to live in a nice 1 bedroom apartment (nothing luxurious, just not some broken down wreck), and I'd need high speed internet and a subscription to a gym (or local swimming pool).

#Study Abroader on Nov 28, 2011 :

Well I've lived in Prague for 3 months and had the unfortunate experience of living in a hostel. All was fine, except for our lack of access to a fully equipped kitchen. If we were smarter, we would have invested in pots and pans and begun cooking instead of going out. This is about right pretty much.
