I will be traveling to Prague next month from Italy. Can I use euros at the stores to buy things?

Czech Crowns Are the Best Option
by: Martina

Good question Ramon. Actually euros are accepted only at limited locations around Prague. So, it's easiest to plan to use Czech Koruna (commonly known as Crowns) while you're here.

Of course, many Prague hotels and places of accommodation will accept euros. But, determining which stores accept euros would become a headache so just count on crowns. The best way to get money while you're here is to use a bank machine if you can. These will give you a clear accurate rate and you will avoid fees that the exchange offices use.

If you need to exchange money, try to go into a bank. Their fees are also usually lower than the exchange offices.

I hope this helps. Good luck and happy travels!
