The Czech currency is the Czech crown (CZK) also called the czech koruna. You will be able to use your bank cards for some of your purchases and activities, but you may also need some cash. It is therefore advisable to check the Czech currency (CZK) exchange rate before buying your travel money. This way you can be sure to get a better rate before exchanging NZD to CZK. It is also suggested to plan a travel budget as this will give you an idea of your future expenses and activities.
Practical tips for planning your budget
The average budget is 1161 czech korunas per person per day. This will allow you to stay in a 3* hotel, pay for 2 meals in a restaurant and pay for your daily transport ticket.
Tipping is appreciated in the Czech Republic, especially in restaurants, cafes and taxi drivers. The practice is different in Prague than in France, you will have to leave the money on the table before leaving. It is when you pay the waiter or waitress that you should be generous and round up the bill orally.
