Where should I setup a bank account in Plzen?

Answer this Question

We asked expats in Plzen what banks they use and there advice about banking. They advised...

"Expats considering retirement in Plzenublic, should be aware of several key factors. Firstly, the cost of living in Plzen is generally lower than in many Western countries, making it an attractive option for retirees. However, it's important to understand that the local language is Czech, and while English is spoken in many places, it's beneficial to learn some basic Czech phrases. Healthcare in the Czech Republic is of a high standard, but it's advisable to secure comprehensive health insurance. The country has a reciprocal healthcare agreement with many countries, but it's best to check specifics before moving. The Czech Republic has a continental climate, with cold winters and warm summers. Plzen, being in the west of the country, experiences slightly milder weather than the eastern regions. Public transportation in Plzen is reliable and affordable, with a network of trams and buses covering the city. However, many retirees choose to drive, and an international driving permit is required for this. The Czech Republic is part of the Schengen Area, so visa requirements will depend on your nationality. It's important to research this thoroughly and ensure all paperwork is in order before making the move. Plzen is known for its rich history and culture, with plenty of museums, galleries, and historical sites to explore. It's also the birthplace of Pilsner beer, so there are plenty of opportunities to enjoy local brews. Finally, it's worth noting that the Czech people are known for their reserved and private nature. It may take time to form close relationships, but expats often find the local community to be welcoming and friendly once they get to know them," explained one expat living in Plzen, Czechia.
