Question 5

Does the Czech Republic use Euros?

Accepted Answer

No. The Czech Republic uses the Czech koruna (CZK or Kc). As of 2026, 1 EUR is roughly 24 to 26 CZK. Use ATMs from Ceska Sporitelna, KB, or CSOB; avoid Euronet ATMs (orange, in tourist zones) and exchange offices in Old Town offering "0 percent commission" but with rates 15 to 20 percent worse than real banks. Cards are widely accepted everywhere except smallest pubs.

Question 6

How much does beer and food cost in Prague?

Accepted Answer

Beer at a regular pub (not Old Town): 50 to 70 CZK for a half-litre of pilsner. Tourist Old Town bars charge 120 to 200 CZK for the same beer. Goulash with dumplings 200 to 300 CZK at local hospodas; svickova (beef in cream sauce) 250 to 350 CZK. Try Lokal (chain of traditional Czech pubs) and U Pinkasu for honest prices and good food. Avoid restaurants advertising in English on Karluv Most or in Old Town Square.

Question 7

Are there scams to avoid in Prague?

Accepted Answer

Taxi scam: only use Bolt, Uber, or the official AAA/Fix airport taxi; street-hailed cabs in Old Town often charge 5x. Currency scam: a stranger offers to exchange money at "better rates" then hands you Belarusian or old Czech notes; never accept street exchanges. Pickpockets on tram 22 between the Castle and the Old Town (peak hours) and on metro line A. Strip-club entry: free entry then 5,000 CZK bills for one drink; avoid clubs advertised by street touts.
