  Tips For Business Visitors

  • Etiquette is important to the Czechs as to the rest of the European nations.
  • Shake hands to welcome your counterpart. A firm handshake is viewed as sign of honesty and openness. It is not unusual for family members and very close friends to kiss on the cheek.
  • Usually it is the woman or the older, or the more distinguished man, who offers a handshake first.
  • Maintain eye contact. This is perceived as a sign of honesty and trustworthiness.
  • Always arrive on time, even for dinner - punctuality is viewed as a sign of reliability and responsibility.
  • Lunch is the main meal during the day. Supper is usually much smaller and lighter.
  • Man pays the bill. Although women's role in society has been changing, many of the old customs have remained especially among older people. A Czech man would feel insulted, and the waiter embarrassed, if a woman tried to pay.
  • Calling somebody by first name has a special meaning. It is a sign of friendship. It should first be offered by the woman or the older or the more respected man.
  • Calling somebody by first name, without being offered or asked first, is considered an insult or an attempt to humiliate.
  • When visiting somebody's home, bring a small gift. Flowers or chocolates for the lady of the house are also very appropriate.
  • It is commonly expected from guests to remove their shoes upon entering the host's home. Ask the host when in doubts.
  • Smoking should be requested first. Ask your host's permission, before lighting a cigarette.
  • Interrupting a conversation is considered rude and impolite.
  • Talking too loudly is perceived as lacking credibility (as if substance is being replaced by loudness).
  • Learn a few Czech words to show respect and friendship. Czech people greatly appreciate when foreigners try to speak even the most basic words.
  • Most likely, your Czech counterpart will have a car available. If the car has a driver, it is considered an honor to be offered the back seat, while your host sits up front.
