Public Transport & Tickets
Prague’s metro, trams, and buses are efficient and inexpensive; buy tickets at machines or via apps and always validate paper tickets when you first board.[3]
Cash, Cards, and Currency
The Czech koruna (CZK) is the currency; cards are widely accepted in cities, but keep some cash for small cafés, markets, or tipping.[3]
Restaurant Etiquette & Tipping
Service can be more reserved than in some countries; leaving around 5–10% tip in cash and saying thank you directly to the server is considered polite.[3]
Language Basics
English works well in tourist areas, but learning a few Czech phrases like “prosím” (please) and “děkuji” (thank you) is appreciated.[3]
Booking Ahead in Peak Season
In spring, summer, and around holidays, book popular restaurants, food tours, cooking classes, and day trips at least a week or two in advance.[3][4]
Weather & What to Wear
Spring and fall can be changeable; pack layers, a light waterproof jacket, and comfortable walking shoes for cobblestones.[3]
Local Drinking Culture
Beer is a big part of Czech culture and usually cheaper than soft drinks, but public drunkenness is frowned upon; pace yourself and hydrate, especially on wine or beer-focused days.[3]
Safety and Common Sense
Czechia is generally very safe, but watch out for pickpockets in crowded tourist areas and only use licensed taxis or trusted ride apps.[3]
