faq.subtitle Prague
Prague is 30-50% cheaper than Western Europe. Budget travelers manage €40-70/day, mid-range €70-150/day. Beer is famously cheap at €2-3 for 0.5L!
Czech Republic uses Czech Koruna (CZK). Some tourist places accept Euro but at bad rates. Use ATMs or cards. Never exchange at airport or Chequepoint shops!
May-June and September are ideal: warm weather, fewer crowds. Summer is crowded, winter is cold but magical with Christmas markets. December is peak season.
Prague taxis are notorious for overcharging tourists. Always use Uber, Bolt, or Liftago apps. If you must use taxi, agree on price beforehand or insist on meter.
Yes! Prague tap water is safe and good quality. Save money by refilling bottles. Restaurants legally must provide tap water if requested.
Useful tips for visiting Prague
NEVER exchange money at airport, Chequepoint, or exchange booths with '0% commission' signs. Use ATMs from Czech banks or pay by card.
Visit Charles Bridge at sunrise (5-6 AM in summer) for photos without crowds. It's magical and nearly empty!
Czech beer is world-famous and incredibly cheap. Try Pilsner Urquell, Staropramen, or Kozel. Expect to pay €2-3 for 0.5L even in restaurants.
For traditional Czech food, try svíčková (beef sirloin in cream sauce), trdelník (chimney cake), and knedlíky (dumplings). Avoid tourist-trap restaurants on Old Town Square.
Prague Castle is free to enter grounds. Pay only for interior tours. Go early morning or late afternoon to avoid tour groups.
