Customer Reviews

Passport Health – Travel Vaccines for Czechia

Overall rating: 4.7 stars – 3 reviews
★★★★
“Thorough and Clear“
“The information we received for the Czech Republic was well-researched and thorough. The nurse was very knowledgeable and showed us where she got the information to support her recommendations. At no point was she forceful in pushing us to get medications or vaccinations. She was professional through and through. The drawback was the online medical forms. The links didn’t work for all of us. And the part to list vaccinations was frustrating because it didn’t allow any flexibility when recording dates.”

How Safe Is Czechia?

European governments are currently taking actions to prevent terrorist attacks in major cities. But, terrorism is a current threat in major European cities.

The Czech Republic has little crime. Avoid demonstrations and strikes, as they may turn violent. Pick-pocketing is the most common crime, especially in tourist areas such as Prague. Prague has a popular night scene. If you go out in Prague, be mindful of your drinks to avoid tainted alcohol.

 

History in Czechia

One of the most popular places to visit in the Czech Republic is Prague. The Old Town district is picturesque and has a quintessential feel of an old European city. The streets are covered in cobblestones with small shops and restaurants. The area features famous landmarks such as Charles Bridge and the Astronomical Clock.

Further up the hill of Old Town, is a still functioning monastery. Here the monks brew their own beer from the hops covering the hill. The monastery holds a library and a church that are pastel beauties. There is also the Petrin Lookout Tower that resembles the Eiffel Tower of Paris. Tourists can climb to the top to get a panoramic view of the city.

What Should I Take To Czechia?

Here are some essential items to consider for your trip to Czechia:

  • No matter what season you’re planning to visit Czechia in, temperatures can range from day to day. Bring layers so you can be comfortable in a variety of temperatures.
  • The cities in Czechia are very walkable and walking is the best form of transportation. Make sure you bring shoes that are comfortable for walking.
  • American electronics will not fit the outlets in Czechia. Make sure you buy a 220v converter before travelling.
