Insider Tips for Prague

  • Czech crowns (CZK) are the local currency — many tourist restaurants accept euros at terrible exchange rates
  • Prague Castle is free to enter the grounds — you only need tickets for specific buildings inside
  • Cross the Charles Bridge at dawn (6-7am) for photos without crowds — it's mobbed by 10am
  • Hotel breakfast in Prague is almost always excellent and included — check before booking external cafés
  • Tram 22 runs from the centre through Malá Strana to the castle — a scenic ride for the price of a ticket
