Health & Insurance: No mandatory vaccinations are required to enter the country. EU citizens should carry their European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) for essential medical care under the same conditions as locals. Non-EU travelers are strongly advised to purchase commercial travel insurance covering medical expenses; otherwise, they must pay for all healthcare out of pocket.
Electricity: The standard voltage is 230 V, and the frequency is 50 Hz. Sockets are primarily type E (two round holes and a grounding pin) and are compatible with European type C plugs. Travelers from the US, UK, Asia, and other regions with different standards will need a travel adapter.
Tap Water: Tap water across the Czech Republic is strictly regulated, high quality, and perfectly safe to drink. In restaurants, you can usually ask for tap water (“kohoutková voda”), though some establishments may charge a small service fee for bringing it to the table.
