Is Prague an expensive city to visit?

Do I need to speak Czech to get around?

No. English is widely and fluently spoken in the central tourist districts, hotels, and restaurants. However, learning a simple greeting like 'Dobrý den' (Good day) is greatly appreciated.

Can I drink the tap water in Prague?

Yes, tap water in Prague is perfectly safe to drink, high in quality, and widely consumed by locals.

How many days should I spend in Prague?

Three to four days is an ideal amount of time to thoroughly explore the main historic sights, wander through a few local neighborhoods, and enjoy the culinary and beer culture without rushing.

Can I use Euros in Prague?

While some tourist shops and hotels may accept Euros, the official currency is the Czech Koruna (CZK). Paying in Euros typically results in a very poor exchange rate, so stick to Korunas.
