Czech Republic Culture
Social Conventions
The people of the Czech Republic can be quite formal and reserved and this translates into greetings. A handshake is the customary greeting and although the people are always polite, they do not often move to a first-name basis unless they know a person very well. In traditional Czech pubs, it is not uncommon to share tables with people. Most people in major cities speak English, however, outside the city, knowing a bit of the Czech language can go a long way.

Czech is the official language of the country, but English, German, Hungarian, Romani and Polish are also spoken in some parts of the country.
Religion
