If you have decided to move to any country, you will find positives and negatives of living there. The Czech Republic is no exception.

Here you will find the pros and cons of living in the country.

  • Pro: Crime rate is low. The Czech Republic is a relatively safe country. Crime rates are low and emergency numbers are available for foreigners who don’t speak Czech. Although there is an increasing number of pickpockets due to a huge number of tourists, the country is really safe.
