Exchange Czech Koruna (CZK) before travelling to the Czech Republic
Planning a trip to the Czech Republic? You’re in for a destination rich in charm and history. But before you go, it’s important to understand the local currency. The Czech Republic uses the Czech Koruna (CZK), also known simply as the koruna. While many businesses accept card payments, it’s still essential to carry some cash—especially in smaller towns or when tipping.
To ensure the best exchange rate, always check the CZK exchange rate before converting your SEK. It’s also helpful to plan your travel budget in advance so you know how much cash to exchange and can enjoy your trip without financial surprises.
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.
