Part 7/9:
One of the most crucial tips for visiting Prague is understanding the currency. The Czech Republic uses the Czech Crown (CZK), and while some establishments may accept Euros, the exchange rates are often terrible, leading to overspending. Always opt to pay in CZK, and be wary of street vendors claiming to offer "great rates"—these are typically scams.
ATMs can be misleading as well. Avoid blue-and-yellow ATMs that charge exorbitant fees. Instead, leverage card payments, which are widely accepted throughout the city, ensuring you select CZK on the transaction terminal to benefit from better exchange rates.
