At a glance

  • Currency — Note: the Czech Republic does NOT use the euro
  • Language — The language is Czech, Slavic and difficult, but in Prague and tourist centres English and German are widely understood (and sometimes Italian too)
  • Visa — The Czech Republic is in the European Union and the Schengen area: EU citizens only need a valid ID card or passport, no visa, and there are no border checks arriving from other Schengen countries
  • e-SIM — Mobile coverage is excellent and WiFi widespread

When to go to Czech Republic

The climate is continental: cold winters (often below zero, with snow) and mild summers (around 22 degrees, peaking at 30 with humidity). Spring and autumn are ideal for visiting Prague and Bohemia with pleasant weather and fewer crowds. Winter brings the famous Christmas markets and a fairytale city under the snow.

Practical tips

  • Pickpockets and taxis in Prague — Prague is safe but has a high rate of petty crime against tourists: take great care with pickpockets in Wenceslas Square, on the Charles Bridge, at Mustek metro and on crowded transport (keep wallet and documents in inner pockets)
  • Driving: vignette and zero alcohol — An EU driving licence is enough
