Most shops, restaurants and bars accept debit cards \u2013 however, your bank may charge overseas fees. Having a travel-friendly debit card with you means you are able to buy things cheaply over the counter or make withdrawals from ATMs overseas, without being charged a fee.<\/p><p>These cards can be used with ease in Prague where Visa and Mastercard are accepted, and you can make contactless payments too.<\/p><p>For the best travel-friendly debit card options you\u2019ll need one with no currency conversion fee and no international ATM withdrawal fee. If you bank with a digital-only bank like Monzo or Starling you can avoid these extra fees. Find out more <a href=\"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/uk\/digital-banking\">here<\/a>.<\/p><ul class=\"list-4\"><li><strong>Tip:<\/strong> When you use your credit card or debit card to make a purchase or withdrawal in the Czech Republic, the Visa, Mastercard or American Express exchange rate is used for the transaction. This is the best rate consumers can access using a travel money product.<\/li><\/ul><p><a class=\"more-link-arrow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/uk\/debit-cards-low-foreign-transaction-fees\"> Compare UK debit cards with low transaction fees<\/a><\/p><h4>Using a credit card<\/h4><p>A travel-friendly credit card gives you a cost-effective way to make purchases outside the UK. Look for a card which waives the fee for currency conversion when you make a transaction in Czech koruna.<\/p><p>Some credit cards also offer handy features for travellers such as providing complimentary travel insurance when you charge the cost of your return travel ticket to your card \u2013 although these cards often charge a hefty annual fee. You\u2019re also protected by the card scheme\u2019s (Visa\/Mastercard\/American Express) anti-fraud guarantees (debit cards and travel cards are also covered), which should allay any fears about card fraud in Prague.<\/p><ul class=\"list-4\"><li><strong>Tip: <\/strong>Credit cards offer a number of interest-free days (usually up to 55). You can make interest-free purchases if you pay your balance in full by the monthly statement due date.<\/li><li><strong>Tip: <\/strong>Avoid using your credit card to withdraw cash if possible. This will be considered a cash advance and will cost you a fee. You\u2019ll also be charged with high interest immediately. Instead, leave your debit or prepaid travel card for withdrawals.<\/li><\/ul><p><a class=\"more-link-arrow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/uk\/credit-cards\/travel-credit-cards\"> Compare travel credit cards<\/a><a><\/a><\/p><h4>Using a travel prepaid card<\/h4><p>These are good for allowing you to load the currency of the destination you\u2019re travelling to. There are a handful of widely available prepaid travel money card products that allow you to load and spend in Czech koruna. These include the Post Office Travel Money Card and Wise.<\/p><p>Otherwise you can get a no currency conversion fee travel card, or a no international ATM withdrawal fee card. Be aware that there are cards which waive one fee, but not the other.<\/p><p>If your stay in Prague is temporary and you have plans to move onto other European countries, these products shouldn\u2019t be overlooked.<\/p><ul class=\"list-4\"><li><b>Tip:<\/b> Prepaid travel cards offer other benefits to travellers such as a separating your travel funds from your savings or line of credit.<\/li><\/ul><p><a class=\"more-link-arrow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/uk\/travel-money\/prepaid-cards\"> Compare prepaid cards for travelling <\/a><\/p><h4>Using traveller\u2019s cheques<\/h4><p>Traveller\u2019s cheques may still be cashed at banks and exchange offices in Prague, but they are not a popular way to carry funds to another country any more. When you cash your cheques, you\u2019ll pay a commission. <\/p><ul class=\"list-4\"> \t<\/ul><h4>Taking cash with you<\/h4><p>While cards are widely accepted in Prague, there are more than a handful of times when you\u2019ll need cash \u2014 markets, hole-in-the-wall bars, small transactions at stores and in rural areas.<\/p><ul class=\"list-4\"><li><strong>Tip:<\/strong> Tipping is expected in Prague and should be given unless the service wasn\u2019t up to standard. We recommended adding 10\u201315% for good service. But, remember that leaving money on the table is considered rude!<\/li><\/ul><h3>Can you use euros in Prague?<\/h3><p>Despite being a full member of the European Union, the Czech Republic has yet to introduce the euro as the official currency. Although the economy is relatively stable and is considered ready to integrate into the Eurozone, popular opinion remains against the move.<\/p><p>But, as is the case in so many neighbouring countries, the euro acts as a kind of unofficial currency in Prague, often readily accepted, sometimes even more than cards.<\/p><p>However, it is still advised to change euros into koruna and pay with that instead, because of the unpredictable exchange rate.<\/p><h3>Buying Czech koruna in the UK<\/h3><p>You should also try to purchase koruna in the UK before you depart. Your bank will be able to sell you cash and you can buy the currency from the Post Office and other foreign exchange providers in shopping centres, but be sure to avoid airports.<\/p><ul class=\"list-4\"><li><b>Tip:<\/b> There\u2019s no limit to the amount of cash you can bring into Prague. But if you\u2019re travelling from outside the EU and are carrying more than the foreign currency equivalent of \u20ac10,000, you must declare your cash at customs when you arrive.<\/li><\/ul><h3>Exchanging cash<\/h3><p>It\u2019s relatively easy to get cash exchanged in Prague. Look for the word \u201cvaluty\u201d, meaning literally \u201cchange\u201d. If you have foreign currency to change to Czech koruna, you\u2019re looking for the \u201cbuy\u201d rate. But look for the \u201csell\u201d rate if you need to change your koruna back to foreign currency.<\/p><p>If there is a large difference between the \u201cbuy\u201d rate and the \u201csell\u201d rate, take your business elsewhere.<\/p><p>Some exchange places will charge a flat fee for the service, and others will charge a commission. A commission is more suitable if you are changing a small amount of money and a fixed rate is better for larger amounts.<\/p><p>Stay away from the exchange places in the Old Town, for example, as they often have poorer exchange rates and higher commission designed just for tourists. Banks generally charge 2%.<\/p><ul class=\"list-4\"><li><b>Tip: <\/b>The best rates are usually around the main railway station, though some exchange offices are more reliable than others. Never change money on the street and try to avoid exchanging cash at the airport, or using automatic exchange machines.<\/li><\/ul><h3 id=\"howmuch\">How much koruna do I need to take to Prague?<\/h3><p>Although the city still enjoys a lingering reputation among British tourists as a bargain basement destination, prices have risen considerably in recent years.

However, prepaid travel cards are worth considering if you\u2019re on an extended trip within the European Union.<\/p><p>Travel-friendly debit cards combine some of the benefits of a travel card, and you might also want to take a credit card so you can access an emergency line of credit. This may also be useful if you need to put down a credit card as a security deposit. Similarly, most leading digital banking apps offer a range of benefits, not least of which is zero transaction and withdrawal fees.<article class=\"luna-card luna-card--alt\"><div class=\"luna-card__block has-padding-small\">We show offers we can track - that's not every product on the market...yet.
