Travel Tips
- Czechia uses the koruna, not the euro. Prices quoted in euros are usually a worse deal.
- When paying by card abroad, choose to be charged in korunas, not your home currency.
- Avoid exchange booths advertising “0% commission” in central Prague; check the rate you’ll actually get.
- Kutná Hora and Karlovy Vary are easy day trips from Prague by train.
- Buy and validate public transport tickets before boarding in Prague; the PID Lítačka app sells them.
