How to spend less without ruining the trip
- Stay in Vinohrady or Karlín, 10 minutes by tram from the Old Town, where hotels and restaurants cost noticeably less.
- Eat lunch from the daily menu (denní menu) at local restaurants, a set meal that costs far less than dinner prices.
- Buy a 24-hour or 72-hour transit pass rather than single tickets if you will ride more than three times a day.
- Combine Prague with Vienna and Budapest on one trip to spread the flight cost over more nights.
- Always pay card bills in koruna, not rupees, and avoid street exchange booths advertising zero commission.

Visa, TCS and forex
The Czech Republic is in the Schengen area. The visa fee is €90, about ₹9,200, plus a VFS charge; apply through the Czech embassy if Prague is your main stop. See our Czech Republic visa guide and Schengen visa guide.
The country uses the koruna, not the euro, though some places quote both. Load koruna or euros on a forex card through our foreign exchange desk, and decline card terminals that offer to charge you in rupees. On tour packages, TCS of 2% applies from April 2026, adjustable against income tax. Schengen visas need travel insurance with at least €30,000 medical cover.
December markets and summer weekends bring the highest hotel rates. See the best time to visit Prague.
