Money
- The currency is the Czech crown (CZK). Euros aren’t accepted everywhere and often at a poor rate.
- Cards work almost everywhere, but keep some cash for toilets, markets and small museums.
- Use reputable exchange offices and check the final amount before you exchange.
Transport
- Metro, trams and buses share one ticket — buy it before you ride.
- Tickets are sold at machines, ticket offices and in the official transport app.
- Fare dodging is fined — inspectors wear plain clothes.
Good to know
- Tipping is optional, usually around 10%.
- Prague tap water is drinkable, but take a bottle for the road.
- Watch your phone and wallet in busy tourist spots.
