Traditions and customs

Czech Easter (Velikonoce)  In the years before 1989, the celebrations of Easter were limited to merely the welcoming of Spring. Today, modern Czechs are again strongly aware of the Christian meaning behind Easter, although Easter has still not become a serious religious holiday.  Instead, Easter is celebrated as a cheerful and fun holiday. Easter is one of the most joyful holidays in the Czech nation.

Spending a night out at Stalin In Letná Park was once the location of the world’s biggest monument to Joseph Stalin. It was demolished just seven years later. Now, the small beer stands and skateboarding have made it the place for cool young Prague locals to hang out with friends on summer evenings.

Food Trdelník is a kind of spit cake. It is made from rolled dough that is wrapped around a stick, then grilled and topped with sugar and walnut mix.

Česnečka (garlic soup in a bread bowl) A garlic-heavy soup served in a bread bowl, Česnečka also contains a raw egg, which is added near the end of the cooking process. Small pieces of sausage, pork, or cheese is sometimes added to it as well.

Language Czech is the official language of the Czech Republic. It is spoken by over 10 million people.  As for the non-verbal language, the most important sign is if the person you talk to lowers their eyes and becomes silent. This non-verbal communication relays a sense of discomfort with the situation or what has been said.

Conversational nuances Czechs are private people until they get to know you. They are formal and reserved. Once you develop a personal relationship Czechs open up a bit, but they are never overly emotional. Although always polite, they seldom move to a first-name basis with people outside their extended family or very close friends. Czechs tend not to acknowledge people whom they do not know as they walk along the street or ride the train.

Meeting and greeting Initial greetings are formal and reserved. Most greetings include a handshake, direct eye contact, and the appropriate greeting for the time of day. Wait to be invited before using someone's first name or an informal greeting, as these are all signs of friendship. The offer to move to the informal is generally offered by the woman, the older person, or the person of higher status. Moving to the informal without an invitation insults the person and may be viewed as an attempt to humiliate them.

Social interaction is not much different from that in other central European countries; compared to that in the United States, it is rather formal.  Social interaction is not much different from that in other central European countries; compared to that in the United States, it is rather formal.   The tendency toward formal behavior is strengthened by the tradition of using titles. Czechs stand at arm's length from each other unless they are conveying information that should not be overheard. Because there are no significant differences in social equality by virtue of position or ethnic background , the rules of etiquette are alike for all members of the society.
