Planning & Practicalities
Opening hours, holidays, the crowd calendar and the money. Czechia uses the koruna, not the euro, and that catches people out at the worst moment.
This is the section that stops a few days going wrong, and in Prague it starts with money.
Czechia uses the koruna, not the euro. Prices quoted in euros in the tourist centre are almost always worse than paying in koruna, and so is letting a card terminal convert for you — always choose to be charged in the local currency. Exchange booths in the old town are the single most reliable way to lose money here.
The second thing is the crowd calendar. The centre has a rhythm: the bridge and the clock are busiest late morning to early evening, and genuinely quiet early. Shifting your day an hour or two earlier changes the experience more than any choice of sight.
Articles here cover opening hours, public holidays, what closes when, and the money questions that have a right answer.
