When do you need cash in the Czech Republic?
Bank cards are widely accepted in the Czech Republic, but it is still very useful to have some crowns in cash when travelling there.
This is particularly true when shopping in certain small businesses, such as traditional bakeries, local corner shops, or cafés outside tourist areas. In addition, having CZK in cash is helpful for making low-value purchases.
Outside major cities or the most touristy areas, it is always practical to carry cash so you can pay 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 spending. This approach helps you keep control of your expenses, and exchanging your euros for CZK before you leave is a good habit, allowing you to benefit from better exchange rates.
