Ready to Leave Prague? These Czech Towns Have the Best Quality of Life

For anyone looking to leave the mean streets of Prague behind for a suburban idyll, a handy new tool will help you determine the best place for you.

The highest quality of life is in the Central Bohemian town of Říčany, with a population of almost 18,000; the lowest in Silesian Orlová. Prague was ranked second for overall quality of life. At the opposite end of the ranking, there are cities in the Moravian-Silesian and Ústí regions.

For each village, the data was broken down into a variety of different indices to compare things like availability of pharmacies, ATM machines, and supermarkets as well as more vital factors like the capacity of kindergartens and quality of primary schools, safety, transport, and employment opportunities.

A population index calculates the number of immigrants and births.

Though currently in the development phase, the portal is also planning to add a section where inhabitants can weigh in on the experience of living in a particular place.
