Cosmetic surgery in Prague is becoming increasingly popular and a large number of people from the US and the UK are choosing to travel here to receive procedures, rather than pay huge medical bills back home. Not only is surgery in Prague considerably cheaper, but it is also performed using state-of-the-art equipment.


There are more than a dozen first-rate medical institutions to choose from in the Czech capital, all of which are staffed by well-trained, English-speaking doctors. All medical facilities in the city are carefully monitored by impartial and independent medical boards to ensure that standards remain high.

Advantages of Medical Tourism

The most obvious factor that makes Prague such a popular medical tourism destination is the reasonable costs, and patients travelling from the UK and the US can make saving of up to 60 percent on certain procedures. However, there is no need to sacrifice quality in return, as Prague hospitals are world class and many leading English-speaking local doctors set up practices here.

Known as the 'City of a Thousand Spires', this city is a great place to indulge in a sightseeing trip, and among the many highlights of this culturally-rich city is the commanding Prague Castle. Art lovers will certainly want to check out the Czech Museum of Fine Arts.

One of the best ways to relax after a medical procedure is by taking an enchanting cruise on the Vltava River, while shopping is also a popular pastime in this attractive city. Culture vultures may like to take in a performance at the Black Light Theatre.
