“How expensive is Prague? Is it normal to spend €5 on a bottle fo water? Can I use Euros here? How much cash do I need? What’s a good ATM to use? Does everywhere take card?"
I’ve heard all these questions and more (many, many more!) in my 6+ years of leading walking tours here in Prague.
Here in the first installment of my Prague 101 free guide, you can learn everything you need to know to navigate safely and happily through Prague, avoiding the mess that results when travelers’ expectations and reality don’t line up - ranging from awkward encounters, disappointment, to misfortune. Luckily, these common mistakes can be easily side-stepped with the power of knowledge!
In this guide, I cover the following topics:
- What is the Czech currency?
- Can I use Euros in Prague?
- Exchange rates & office recommendation
- What are typical Prague prices?
- What ATM should I use?
- How much cash should I withdraw?
Bonus! Recommendations for:
