Eating Only in Tourist Destinations : Restaurants in touristic places are usually overcharged. Use local restaurants and markets to get local food.
Incidences of disrespecting Cultural Norms : Shouting or littering can be offensive to the locals. Be courteous, obey, and adhere to traditions.
Neglect of Weather Conditions : Czech weather may turn out to be predictable. Seatbelt and layer checks.
