General information

Weather
Smoking
- Smoking is generally allowed in restaurants; some places have separate rooms for smokers and non-smorkers.

Credit cards
- Often accepted in the restaurants, less accepted in "traditional" pubs, but it's always better to check on the website of the specific place.
Cash machines
- No shortage of ATMs in the city center. Few ATMs are also available close to the venue.
VAT
- prices shown in restaurants and shops do include VAT (DPH, Daň z přidané hodnoty).

Vegetarian/vegan meals
- Vegetarian meals are not always easy to find. Vegan ones are more complicated, but few options are available (see below)
When lunch and dinner are served
- Lunch: restaurants usually offer a "lunch menu" with 2-4 choices during working days in 11.00-14.00 timeframe (even if the more choices are usually available after 12.30). The lunch menus are usually visible on http://lunchtime.cz (use this link for restaurants close to the venue) or on the restaurant's website. Restaurants usually do not close after lunch time.
- Dinner: closing time of the kitchen depends on the place, but usually not before _at least_ 21.30 during working days and a bit later in the weekend. Many places are closed on Sunday.
Tipping
- No fixed percentage tips, usually the price is rounded a bit. Usually when you pay, you state the amount you want to give out (price+tip).

Typical drinks served in bars: apart from beers, soft drinks, here are some local specialities:
