Prague
Prague draws expats with its rare combination of affordability, walkable neighborhoods, and genuine European culture—you're not paying Western European prices for a capital city with serious character. The public transit system is reliable, healthcare is solid, and the cost of living lets your salary stretch meaningfully. For many, this is the appeal: a livable, cultured city where you can actually build savings.
The trade-off is language and bureaucracy. Czech isn't easy, and navigating residency permits and local administration requires patience; English gets you far in central areas but less so beyond. Safety is good overall, though petty theft targets tourists and careless expats. If you're seeking affordability without sacrificing infrastructure or culture, Prague rewards those willing to invest in learning the basics.
