Czechia — how to identify

Detail: Czech direction signs for cities or towns feature a small arrow. This arrow is placed separately, either above or at the end of the main sign.

Distinction: This separate arrow helps distinguish Czech signs from those in Slovakia, where arrows are typically painted directly onto the sign.

Word Endings: Look for words ending in -ni. This is common in the Czech language.

Comparison: Slovak words often end in -nie.

Key Word: The word drogerie is also common in Czechia. In Slovakia, it is spelled drogéria.

Typical Range: Expect common item prices from 200 to 1000, unlike the 1-20 range in Euro countries.
