Local Tips
Explore early in the morning or late evening to avoid crowds, especially in peak season. Many attractions are within walking distance - wear comfortable shoes for cobbled streets.

Tipping 5-10% is customary at restaurants. Dress is generally casual but respectful in churches. Greeting with a friendly 'Dobrý den' (good day) is appreciated.
Safety Warnings
Tourist areas are very safe but pickpocketing can occur during festivals or in crowded spots. Avoid wandering alone very late at night near the outskirts or around the bus/train stations.
Hidden Gems
Eggenberg Brewery tours for local beer, the Minorite Monastery gardens, and panoramic views from the Bell Tower. Seek out art galleries tucked away in side streets.
