Money

In Prague, you can use credit cards in most places, from restaurants and shops to attractions, making it very convenient for travelers. However, there are a few exceptions, particularly some smaller pubs, where only cash is accepted. If you need to exchange cash, it’s important to familiarize yourself with how Czech koruna (CZK) banknotes look and only use verified exchange offices. Avoid exchanging money in public or with strangers on the street, as this can be risky.
