SEK to CZK Currency Exchange

Practical tips for budgeting your trip

The average daily budget for a traveller in the Czech Republic is 1,161 CZK per person. This would typically cover a night in a 3-star hotel, two restaurant meals, and daily transport.

Tipping is appreciated in the Czech Republic, especially in restaurants, cafés, and taxis. Unlike in Sweden, the custom is to leave the tip on the table rather than including it in the card payment. Round up the bill verbally when paying the server—it's a polite gesture that locals value.

When do you need cash in the Czech Republic?

Bank cards are very well accepted in the Czech Republic, but it is still useful to have crowns in cash when travelling there.

This is particularly the case when making purchases in some small shops, such as traditional bakeries, neighbourhood grocery stores or cafés outside tourist areas. It is also helpful to have CZK in cash for low-value purchases.

Outside major cities or the most touristy areas, it is always practical to have crowns in cash to be able to pay for your purchases in any situation. It is also common to leave a small tip in bars, cafés and pubs, and this is generally done in cash.

In general, it is advisable to manage your travel budget in cash to avoid unnecessary expenses. This approach helps you maintain control of your budget, and exchanging your SEK to CZK before departure is a good habit to benefit from the best exchange rates.
