Manners and Customs

Czechs generally have a very relaxed, laid back attitude to life and times don’t mean very much
People are very proud of their food and culture and you should try some of the local foods like dumplings, duck, goulash, and bramborake
Most Czechs are very understanding of how difficult their language is to learn and use and are very accommodating to visitors who cannot speak Czech
Beer, particularly pilsner beers are very important to Czech culture
