Little Hà Nội in Prague: the Vietnamese Community in the Czech Republic

With a history rooted in Cold War-era ties between Communist Czechoslovakia and Việt Nam, the Vietnamese community in the Czech Republic represents one of the most vibrant and dynamic immigrant groups in Central Europe. It has grown significantly since the 1950s, evolving from a small group of students and workers into a well-established minority.

Today, the Vietnamese are among the top three ethnic minorities in the Czech Republic, with an estimated population of over 69,000. Their presence is felt in bustling markets, nail salons, restaurants, and increasingly in professional and academic spheres.
