A number of locally-specific units of measurement were used in the Czech lands to measure length, area, capacity and so on. In 1876, the metric system was made compulsory; however, local measurements and old Viennese measurements weren't still in use.

1 látro was equal to 1.917 m.

There were units specific to Bohemia.

1 stopa ( or střevíc) = 0.296 m

1 sáh = 1.778 m

1 míle = 7.003 km.

In Prague, one loket was equal to 0.593 m. The stopa was equal to 0.2965 m.

As in Bohemia and Prague, there were specific local units used in Moravia.
