    Hi,

    We are travelling to Prague on Tuesday.
    Our travel agents recommended we take Euros.
    Is this correct, or should we have Koruna?

    Hi,

    only large supermarkets, usually in the outskirts, take Euros.
    You can pay with Euros in some pubs, too,
    Most shops and pubs take only Crowns.

    1 Euro = 32 Crowns
    1 Beer = 20 - 25 Crowns
    1 Bottle (1,5 litre) of drinking water = 15 - 20 Crowns

    EmpirePub javascript:emoticon(':D')
    Very Happy

    Thanks EmpirePub

    Looks like we'll have to change our Euros into Crowns :roll:

    Typical Travel Agents - that's two lots of exchange commission lost! :x

    Be carefull if you're planning to exchange your Euros into Koruna in one of many exchange offices existing everywhere in the Czech Republic - they have REALLY weird exchange rates policies. Be sure they tell you how much comission fee will they take for the amount you wanna exchange.
