The currency used in Czechia is the Czech koruna (CZK). While many places accept card payments, cash is still widely used, especially in smaller shops and markets, so travelers should carry some cash but can also use cards conveniently in most urban areas.
In Prague, travelers should be cautious of pickpocketing, especially in crowded areas like public transport, Old Town Square, and major tourist sites. Common scams include overpriced taxi rides without meters, street vendors selling fake tickets or souvenirs, and distraction techniques used by thieves. It's advisable to use official taxis or ride-hailing apps, keep valuables secure, and be wary of strangers offering unsolicited help.
Pack lightweight, versatile clothing suitable for the destination's climate, and use secure, lockable luggage to protect belongings. Keep essential items like travel documents, medication, and valuables in a carry-on bag for easy access. Use packing organizers or cubes to maximize space and maintain order. Lastly, include a small first aid kit and personal hygiene items for added comfort during travel.
