Local Tips for Prague
- Learn basic Czech greetings - locals appreciate the effort, though English is widely spoken in tourist areas and restaurants.
- Always validate your public transport ticket when boarding trams, buses, or metro - plain-clothes inspectors fine €40 for invalid tickets.
- Avoid touristy restaurants on Old Town Square - walk 2-3 streets away for authentic Czech cuisine at half the price.
- Czech pubs serve excellent beer cheaper than water - try Pilsner Urquell, Budvar, or local microbreweries like Bernard.
- Tipping is customary - round up the bill in pubs and cafés, or add 10% in restaurants for good service.
- Exchange money at proper exchange offices, not street kiosks - banks offer the best rates, avoid airport exchanges.
- Book Prague Castle tickets online to skip queues, especially during summer months and weekends.
- Use contactless payment or get a Prague transport pass - individual tickets from machines require exact change.
- Many museums close on Mondays - plan your cultural visits for Tuesday through Sunday to avoid disappointment.
- Christmas markets run November-January with mulled wine and traditional crafts, but expect larger crowds and higher prices during this period.
