Note for tourists
• Cafes in the center of Prague are much more expensive than similar ones located closer to the outskirts. So, if you walk for 30 minutes, and choose an institution not in the historical part of the city, you can save a lot.
At the same time, the assortment and service will have practically no differences.
• You should also pay attention to the differences in the currency. Despite the fact that the Czech Republic is a member of the European Union, it is not the euro that is used here, but the crown. At the same time, in small towns there are only one or two currency exchange offices, and it is not very easy to find them.
