Czech Republic: main airports

The Czech Republic is generally very safe for tourists, with violent crime rare: the usual precautions against pickpocketing in crowded areas of Prague (historic center, Charles Bridge, public transport) are sufficient. Beware of unofficial currency exchange offices in central Prague, which often apply hidden unfavorable fees.

The currency is the Czech koruna (CZK): the Czech Republic is among the few EU countries not to have adopted the euro. Credit cards and contactless payments are widely accepted in cities, less so in small towns where cash remains useful. Bolt and Uber operate in Prague and other major cities. For connectivity, the operators O2, T-Mobile and Vodafone sell prepaid SIM cards. For driving, EU citizens use their national license; others are generally also required to have an International Driving Permit (IDP).
