Practical & useful information

Currency

The official currency of the Czech Republic is the Czech crown (CZK). Although the Czech Republic is a member of the European Union, the euro is generally not accepted for everyday payments, so we recommend using CZK.

Credit and debit cards are widely accepted in hotels, restaurants, and shops. ATMs are widely available in cities, where visitors can easily withdraw cash.

As a rough reference, 1 EUR ≈ 25 CZK, although exchange rates may vary.

Weather

Early July in the Czech Republic is typically warm and pleasant. Daytime temperatures are usually around 20–28 °C, although occasional hotter days or short summer storms are possible. Light clothing is generally suitable, but bringing a light jacket or umbrella can be useful.

Public Holidays

Please note that 5–6 July are national public holidays in the Czech Republic:

• 5 July – Saints Cyril and Methodius Day

• 6 July – Jan Hus Day
  
  

Most shops and services remain open, but some offices or smaller businesses may have limited hours.

Electricity

Electricity in the Czech Republic is 230 V / 50 Hz. Power sockets are type C and type E (European standard). Visitors from countries using different plug types may need a plug adapter.
