Geed Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 How much Czech Koruna do you think will be needed a day? never been to Czech Republic so don't really know the prices out there for food and drink? was thinking off taking £250 worth of Czech Koruna, will that be enough for 3 days? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Debian Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 More than enough @Geed if its just boozing you're in to... Go a street just off Wenceslas Sq or where the Astronomical clock is and you'll be paying about a £1 for a beer. If you're going for ladies, i'd maybe double up the funding.

captain Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 Usual rules apply in Prague. If you want cheap drink stay out of the tourist traps, 1 street back and you'll pay £1 a beer and eat like a King. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geed Posted February 12, 2016 Author Share Posted February 12, 2016 Thanks all, just want to make sure I am taking enough for 3 days, just really enough for dinking, eating and hitting a couple of clubs maybe as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have noticed the exchange has been dropping so it is getting slight more expensive for you guys, last month 38kc to the pound, this month already at 34kc.

macy37 Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 I've been a fair bit lately and the prices are pretty much 32kc to 45kc in town. Pay any more than £1.50 a pint and you're getting raped or sitting in either of the main squares or the George and Dragon (awful pub).

Problem with Prague is that many places cater for tourists who will never return, resulting in poor quality food and drink (which people think is amazing, although they have nothing to compare it to). And to round it off, these places have hidden charges for snacks on the table, as well as dreadful service at an additional 10%. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even the Czechs moan about the piss poor service and product in bars and restaurants. :-) its a Prague thing, once outside Prague you can see service and quality much better. "Problem with Prague is that many places cater for tourists who will never return" head to Zizkov, top end of Vinohrady and beyond and you can find a decent pint in most little bars.

The quality of food and drink definitely improves outside the main tourist areas, but the service can still be very slow at times. Sometimes you wait in what feels like eternity just for a menu. I also recommend areas such a Zizkov and Vinohrady Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carrick Lad Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 For my last few trips I've used a REVOLUT card - which you use like a debit or credit card. https://revolut.com/ Either pay over the counter or use it to withdraw at a hole in the wall. It worked well in Tbilisi - so should be fine for Prague. It guarantees the best exchange rate at the time and you can see exactly what you've spent (or topped up) via an easy-to-use App. Having previously linked it your nomal UK debit or credit card, you can top up the balance on your Revolut in seconds - assuming you've got enough dosh in your UK account !!

Made a Sparta Prague game at 5pm Saturday, then hair of the dog at the 11am Sunday Viktoria Zizkov game. Tram stopped right outside the ground. Remember brilliant BBQ sausages being served up from rickety old tables - beer and brandy/rum being sloshed up too. One of my favourite football experiences, old fashioned terraces etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deecie Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Viktoria is a great away day. Saw them play a few years back. The social club behind one of the goals is wonderful. Pretty sure I walked back into town from the ground, didn't seem far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
