City archetypes
Landing-zone comparisons — cost bands, community, and who each city suits.
Prague
A vibrant expat hub with tech jobs, castles, a walkable old town, and EU flight connections — English is everywhere. The trade-off is a premium: rents around €1,200 and costs roughly 20% above the national average, plus crowds.
- Biggest tech job market and expat community
- English everywhere; EU flight hub
- Priciest Czech city — crowds and premium rents
Brno
A university town with a strong IT scene, cheaper rents than Prague, and plenty of parks — less touristy and more livable, though with fewer direct flights and colder winters.
- University town with a growing IT scene
- Cheaper than Prague
- Fewer flights, colder winters
Ostrava
An industrial city with the lowest costs of the three, a growing tech presence, and authentic Czech daily life. Less English and an industrial legacy are the trade-offs.
