Prague

Prague is one of Europe's busiest production cities, a long-running base for international film and series, alongside a strong animation, post-production, and music scene. Studios cluster around Karlín, Holešovice, Smíchov, and the Barrandov complex south of the city. Crews are deeply experienced with Hollywood, European, and streaming productions and operate at international rates with European craft standards. Czech and English are both working languages on set, and rebates make Prague a regular base for series shooting across the whole region.

Svíčková, guláš, vepřo-knedlo-zelo, smažený sýr, palačinky, and trdelník as the tourist baseline that most locals avoid. Pivo (pilsner) is the default drink; ordering wine without ceremony is fine. Restaurants charge a couvert for bread; tipping is around 10%, handed to the server rather than left on the table. The Old Town gets crowded; production schedules earlier or later.
