Money Matters
|
| The currency in Czech Republic is the Czech koruna. Check current exchange rates before traveling. Visa, Mastercard and American Express credit cards, and travelers checks are widely accepted throughout the country, however cash is always easier outside the large cities, so plan accordingly.
Currency exchange agents are located in the major cities and tourist areas (American Express, Thomas Cook). ATM machines are located at all major banks, but may be limited to bank hours and possibly closed on weekends.
As always, be careful not to carry too much cash and keep your money in a safe place at all times.
Before you go, it's a good idea to write down the customer service phone numbers and actual card numbers of your credit cards, passport, other ID, and bank cards- in the case of theft this will come in handy.

Packing Tips
|
| The Czech Republic is most pleasant April, May, June, September and often October. Temperatures are pleasant and light layers and a jacket will suffice. July and August are warmer, and lighter layers are recommended.
Daytime is best suited for walking shoes. Nicer restaurants in the large cities have dress requirements, so a jacket and tie for men may be appropriate.
