"Before retiring in Brnoublic, expats should know that the official language is Czech, and while English is commonly spoken in tourist areas and by younger generations, it may not be widely spoken by older locals. The cost of living in Brno is generally lower than in many Western European countries, but it's still important to have a clear understanding of your financial situation and how it will sustain your lifestyle. Healthcare in the Czech Republic is of a high standard, but it's advisable to secure comprehensive health insurance. The Czech Republic has a continental climate, with cold winters and warm summers, so expats should be prepared for this change if they're from a milder climate. Brno is a city rich in history and culture, with many museums, galleries, and theaters, as well as beautiful architecture and historical sites. Public transportation in Brno is efficient and reliable, with a network of trams, buses, and trains, but it's also a very walkable city. The Czech Republic is part of the Schengen Area, so visa requirements will depend on your nationality. Czech cuisine is hearty and meat-based, with dishes like goulash and schnitzel being popular, but Brno also has a range of international restaurants. The Czech people are known for being reserved and private, but also friendly and welcoming once you get to know them. Finally, it's important to note that the Czech Republic has its own currency, the Czech koruna, not the Euro," remarked another expat who made the move to Brno, Czechia.
