Healthcare is excellent for residents. Prague has many international clinics. Foreigners with trade licenses must pay public health insurance.
Residence permit or trade license needed. Fio Banka is most foreigner-friendly. Czech koruna (CZK) still used, not euro.
Very safe. Prague is extremely walkable at night. Petty theft on public transport and tourist areas. Avoid taxi scams.
