GDP per capita in the Czech capital was calculated to be at 187% of the EU-wide average, according to the Eurostat data.

The ranking represents a slight increase over data from previous years. In 2015, Prague was listed as the 9th richest region in the European Union.

Regions topping the 2019 list of richest in the EU were familiar locations, with the UK’s Inner London topping the list at a whopping 626% of the EU average GDP.

The UK capital was followed by Luxembourg (253%), Southern Ireland (220%), Hamburg (202%) and Brussels (196%) to round out the top 5.
