Rules in force · 6Old Town and Malá Strana are cobbled
- Czech Republic ↗Czechia is in the EU and the Schengen area: check entry rules, the EU Entry/Exit System and any travel authorisation requirement for your passport on official sources.
- Czech Republic ↗The currency is the Czech koruna (CZK), not the euro: decline dynamic currency conversion and avoid street exchange booths.
- Czech Republic ↗Motorways need an electronic vignette bought before you drive on them.
- Prague and Central Bohemia ↗Buy regional train tickets at the station or in the operator app; check the last return before you leave.
- Prague ↗Old Town and Malá Strana are cobbled: large suitcases go from the car to the door, never on a walk.
- Prague ↗Book taxis by app or from the official rank; street-hailed taxis in the centre can overcharge.
