Question

Is Prague safe?

Answer

Prague is a very safe city! Of course, take the same precautions you would in your home country and be especially vigilant about your belongings; pickpockets have been known to target crowded tourist areas (Charles Bridge or touristy clubs), trains, and trams. Just be aware of your belongings when in crowded areas just in case!

Question

What is the currency in the Czech Republic?

Answer

The Czech Republic's currency is the Czech koruna or Czech crown (Kč / CZK). Credit cards are widely accepted in shops, restaurants, and hotels. The easiest way to obtain Czech currency is via an ATM machine affiliated with a bank. In addition, there are numerous exchange offices in the city, both inside banks and stand-alone ones. To make sure the rate you receive is fair, please check the Czech National Bank middle rate at www.cnb.cz, which gives you an approximate idea of what you can expect. It is not legal for exchange offices to charge any commission on foreign exchange transactions, and a printed receipt must be provided for each transaction. Please note: if you use a credit/debit card when purchasing items, always click pay in CZ not USD. It’s better to pay in the local currency – especially if you use a credit card that doesn’t charge foreign transaction fees.

Question

Do I need to bring cash to most places?

Answer

Although more places are taking card, a lot of places in Prague do take cash (Lucerna, smaller bars and restaurants, beer gardens.) Please make sure to have cash in case!

Question

How do you purchase a public transport pass?

Answer

Depending on how much you'd like to use public transport in Prague, you have several options for the type of ticket to use. Short-Term Tickets (30 min. to 3 days): You can choose from several types of short-term tickets to travel around Prague. They can all be used on any type of public transport as many times and with as many transfers as you like for the duration of the time period for which they are valid. The 30-minute and 90-minute tickets are not valid on the funicular to Petřín. To mark the start of the validation period, you must punch the ticket (once only) in one of the validation machines that are located at the entrance to every metro station and on trams and buses. Short-term tickets can be purchased from the yellow ticket vending machines (also in English), at ticket offices located at many metro stations, at Tabák/Trafika stores and newsstands, and in tourist information centers. You will get fined 1000 CZK if you do NOT have a pass so please get one if taking public transport! Refer here for more info: http://www.myczechrepublic.com/prague/tickets_fares.html
