Prague Travel Tips: Money, Safety, Tipping, and Getting Around

Prague Travel Tips

A few practical tips make Prague feel effortless—especially if it’s your first time in Central Europe.

Money & payments

• Use ATMs from major banks and avoid bad exchange kiosks

• Cards are widely accepted, but keep some cash for small purchases

Safety

• Prague is generally very safe—watch for pickpockets in crowded areas

• Use official taxis or ride-hailing apps

Tipping

Tipping is appreciated. Rounding up or leaving around 10% is common in restaurants.

Getting around

• The metro/tram system is excellent

• Walking is often the fastest way in the historic center
