What it costs
Prague prices, with the date they were checked
Every figure below carries the day it was checked and a link to whoever publishes it. Tariffs come from the operator's own price list. Meal prices are one named place's published menu, marked as such — because nobody publishes an official price for a dinner, and a guide that states one as a fact is guessing.

The one that costs more than any of these
When a card machine or a cash machine offers to charge you in your own currency, decline. That rate is set by the machine's operator and is consistently worse than your bank's. Together with the tourist-street exchange offices, it costs visitors more money in Prague than every other trap on this site combined.

Questions about money
How much is a transport ticket in Prague?
A 30-minute ticket is 36 Kč in the PID Lítačka app (39 Kč on paper), a 90-minute ticket 46 Kč (50 Kč), a 24-hour ticket 140 Kč (150 Kč) and a 72-hour ticket 340 Kč (350 Kč). Figures from the official PID price list, checked on 16 September 2026.
Why do some prices come from one restaurant's menu?
Because nobody publishes an official price for a meal. Rather than invent a range, we give the price one named place publishes, with a link to its menu and the date we checked — a benchmark you can verify.
Should I change money before I arrive?
No. Withdraw koruna from a cash machine that belongs to a bank, and decline dynamic currency conversion when the machine offers to charge you in your own currency. Avoid the exchange offices on the tourist streets: the “0% commission” sign usually sits next to a rate far worse than the real one.
Are cards accepted everywhere in Prague?
Almost everywhere, including on public transport. The last holdouts are a few old-school pubs, market stalls and public toilets. A small amount of koruna covers you.
