What food do people of the Czech Republic eat?

One food dish that is typical in Slovakia is stuffed cabbage. In Slovak, it is called plnená kapusta. This dish is actually common mainly in the eastern part of the country. The dishes common in the rest are baked chicken with rice, various kinds of schnitzel (breaded steak), and goulash stews served with a steamed dumpling called knedľa. Also, the "national dish" of the country are potato dumplings topped with a special sheep cheese called bryndza. Other specialties are plum dumplings - plums covered in dough, cooked and served topped with melted butter and ground poppy seeds, soups, and all kinds of sweets.

How much is a beer in Prague?

as of 2009, in the center of Prague you can expect to pay from 25-40Kc for a 0.5l beer at a 'cheap' to 'average' place. Most Czechs would think twice before paying more than 30-35Kc. At the more tourist centric places, you can pay up to 150Kc for a 0.33l glass which is considered a total ripoff for any Czech. As you go out of the center, prices are low, probably 18Kc is about the lowest you'll find a beer served to you at any place throughout the country.
Outside of the touristy Old Town and Mala Strana, beer will caost you around 18-25 koruny, which is about 1$ American for a .5 liter. Pilsner Urquell is usually a little more expensive, wheras Gambrinus, Staropramen, and Krusovice are often a little cheaper. All are excellent, especially when compared to their American counterparts. Most beers come in either light (which is different than the American Light) and Dark. And most pivnice's serve only one or two types of beer on draught, a sign outside will tell you which is served inside.

What is the telephone country code for Czechoslovakia?

+421 is the country code for Slovakia. Substitute your international dialing prefix for the plus sign. Thus, from most of Europe, dial 00 421; from the US and Canada, dial 011-421; from Australia, dial 0011 421.

(The plus sign means "insert your international access prefix here." From a GSM mobile phone, you can enter the number in full international format, starting with the plus sign. The most common prefix is 00, but North America (USA, Canada, etc.) uses 011, and many other countries use different prefixes.)

Is Prague a safe for tourist?

Here is advice from an American who has has lived, studied, and traveled there: I can say that the Czech Republic is perfectly safe. Do not worry at all, especially if you're travelling in a group. If you go to Prague at some point, which most people do when they visit the Czech Republic, just be aware that in the center of town at night--especially on Narodni trida, which is the street in front of the National Museum and with the big statue of Charles IV--the not so savory businesses come to life. Just don't make eye-contact with anyone who looks suspicious and just keep walking. But the worst you might experience would be pickpocketing. Usually the line between petty theft and causing someone physical harm is so severe in Eastern Europe, that very few criminals would ever risk hurting someone, especially a Westerner. The rest of the Czech Republic is even safer I'd say, as they are not that used to tourists and thus not as prepared for pickpocketing or ripping them off (although neither of those two things EVER happened to me). If you can learn some Czech beforehand, this will help you SO MUCH!!! In Prague everyone speaks either English or German, probably English, but in the rest of the country it's kind of hit and miss, with a lot more missing going on than hitting. Just don't do anything stupid. That's the most important advice anyone can give you. Behave yourself like you were in some place you aren't familiar with in the US and you'll be just fine. Don't keep valuables in your backpack or purse, keep them somewhere where you are always aware where they are. Me, I wore pants with really deep pockets or cargo pants. If someone tried to steal stuff from them, I would almost certainly have noticed. One thing though, if you need to get to the American embassy, just bear in mind that there WILL be security guards around there and they WILL ask you to identify yourself before going up to the embassy. Just say you're Americans. This has nothing to do with the Czechs, this is happening to US embassies all over the world, and you might have to wait in a line too because of security.
