Before the division, Czechoslovakia had the code +42. The separation took place on January 1, 1993, but until 1997, the Czechs and Slovaks could not agree on the separation of telephone numbers. Until March 1, 1997, both countries used +42, and only from March 1, 1997, the code for the Czech Republic became +420, for Slovakia +421.
Important! 2002 reform
Since September 22, 2002, new rules for dialing telephone numbers came into force in the Czech Republic, the codes of most cities and regions have changed, all the leading "0"s have been removed.
Since 2002, all telephone numbers in the country have been unified - they contain 9 digits. If the area code is 1 digit, then subscriber numbers are 8 digits. If the city code is 2 digits, then subscriber codes are 7 digits.
For example, numbers in Prague have the form (+421) 2хх ххх ххх, in Karlovy Vary - (+421) 35х ххх ххх, in Pardubice - (+421) 46х ххх ххх.

Mobile operator codes
Important note! As in Russia, any subscriber cellular communication in the Czech Republic has the right to change the operator while maintaining the number.
This is important when billing calls within the network. For example, you bought a Czech SIM operator T-Mobile. You need to call the mobile, and you see the T-Mobile operator code. You are glad that the call will now be either free or at a reduced rate, because the call is within the T-Mobile network.
It's too early to rejoice, the number may be with the T-Mobile code, but the operator actually turns out to be different, it's just that the subscriber once changed the operator. In this case, the caller will receive a voice warning before connecting. Unfortunately, in Czech, "volate the site T mobile", which translates to "call outside the T-Mobile network."
| Operator | Codes |
| T Mobile | 73, 603, 604, 605 |
| O2 | 72, 601, 602, 606, 607 |
| Vodafone | 77, 608 |

I really liked the beer restaurant Kolkovna in Prague 1. Been there more than once! It is a network one, we visited the one in the center on the Republic Square, near the Palladium shopping center. The place is quite noisy, it is always full of visitors. During peak hours it is better to book a place in advance, but we always got a table without any problems. We managed to try a lot: from vole (a soup served in a bowl of bread) to delicious desserts. I must say right away that the portions are large enough, you can safely take one dish for two. Having eaten after the vole, they brought us the second dish - a duck on a spit, I had to take such beauty with me) I advise

The Czech Republic is famous for its castles. Arriving in Prague, it would be a shame not to visit at least one of the local castles. Prices for excursions and entrance will be very different. For example, Karlštejn Castle is a Gothic building with rich history. The entry fee will be a little over $2. But the entrance to the Konopiste castle will cost almost 3 dollars. This place is especially popular among romantics and beauty lovers. An incredible castle that you can look at for hours with your mouth open is the Hluboka nad Vltavou castle. The cost of entry to this amazing place is from 2 to 12 dollars depending on the halls you want to visit.

The luxurious AquaPalace water park is not located in the Czech capital itself, but in a small village next to it. This park is loved by tourists of all ages. The easiest and most convenient way to get to the water park is on a special aquabus, which picks up tourists at a certain station and takes them directly to their destination without any stops. By the way, this bus is free. Tourists who go to the local aqua palace - hotel can also ride it for free. There is an option to go to the water park by bus or on your own by car. Only such options are more costly and troublesome.
