Also, determining how much things would cost can help save you from getting ripped off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With this in mind, we\u2019ve put together a handy guide on the prices of food, transport, and lodgings in Prague, so you can budget your trip to the Bohemian capital accordingly.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"czech-currency-the-koruna\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Czech Currency: The Koruna<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"currency-converter-widget-wrapper cwc-legacy-wrapper\" style=\"overflow:visible;padding:4px;\">\n            <div id=\"cwc-faf99796\"><\/div>\n            <script src=\"https:\/\/widget.currency.wiki\/v3\/script.js?style=tall&#038;theme=auto&#038;accent=2563eb&#038;lang=en&#038;from=USD&#038;to=CZK&#038;amount=1&#038;flags=1&#038;labels=1&#038;swap=1&#038;branding=1&#038;brandinglink=1&#038;format=en-US&#038;decimals=2&#038;display=iso&#038;width=200&#038;height=280&#038;source=wp-legacy&#038;container=cwc-faf99796\"><\/script>\n        <\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Despite being part of the European Union, the Euro isn\u2019t the official&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/prague.org\/all-you-need-to-know-about-the-currency-in-prague\/\">Czech currency<\/a>&nbsp;and isn\u2019t widely accepted in the country. Instead, people use the Czech Crown or Koruna (K\u010d or CZK) when paying for goods or services. According to the prevailing exchange rate (as of December 2020), 1 USD is equivalent to 22 K\u010d. Czech prices in Prague in a number of common areas are discussed in this article.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Quick note:<\/strong>&nbsp;While 1 crown is equivalent to 100 Heller or Hal\u00e9\u0159 coins (hal), these coins haven\u2019t been in use since 2008. They\u2019re still being incorporated into the prices but expect the final price to be rounded off to the nearest value in Koruna. Prague prices in Euro can easily be converted as 1 euro exchanges for about 24.6 Koruna.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"typical-prices-in-prague-for-public-transportation-services\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Typical Prices in Prague for Public Transportation Services<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/prague.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/dave-kim-pXFr5erfai0-unsplash-1-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"Public transport in Czechia\" class=\"wp-image-7449\" srcset=\"https:\/\/prague.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/dave-kim-pXFr5erfai0-unsplash-1-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/prague.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/dave-kim-pXFr5erfai0-unsplash-1-scaled-600x450.jpg 600w, https:\/\/prague.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/dave-kim-pXFr5erfai0-unsplash-1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/prague.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/dave-kim-pXFr5erfai0-unsplash-1-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/prague.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/dave-kim-pXFr5erfai0-unsplash-1-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/prague.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/dave-kim-pXFr5erfai0-unsplash-1-2048x1536.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/prague.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/dave-kim-pXFr5erfai0-unsplash-1-200x150.jpg 200w, https:\/\/prague.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/dave-kim-pXFr5erfai0-unsplash-1-260x195.jpg 260w, https:\/\/prague.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/dave-kim-pXFr5erfai0-unsplash-1-380x285.jpg 380w, https:\/\/prague.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/dave-kim-pXFr5erfai0-unsplash-1-800x600.jpg 800w, https:\/\/prague.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/dave-kim-pXFr5erfai0-unsplash-1-1160x870.jpg 1160w, https:\/\/prague.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/dave-kim-pXFr5erfai0-unsplash-1-scaled.jpg 2560w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Public transport in Czechia<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"buses-trams-and-trains\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Buses, Trams, and Trains<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Getting around in Prague via the public transport is easy, convenient, and relatively cheap.&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/prague.org\/guide-on-using-public-transport-in-prague\/\">Public transport tickets<\/a>, which are valid for trams, buses, and trains, typically cost around 24 CZK for a 30-minute travel and 32 CZK for a 90-minute travel. You can purchase a day pass for 110 CZK, a 3-day pass for 310 CZK, and a one-month pass for 670 CZK.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Short-term tickets can be purchased at the ticket machines while the long-term tickets are sold at the metro stations and at the Prague Transit Central Office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Tip<\/strong>: If you\u2019re taking the regular bus to the city from the airport, be sure to purchase your tickets beforehand at the ticket machine or the Public Transportation counter. The&nbsp; typical price in Prague for this type of ticket costs around 32 CZK, which is cheaper than a ticket purchased on-board. Purchasing a ticket directly from a driver costs 40 CZK and requires exact change. Prague ticket price doesn;t typically cost much, as the transportation system in Prague is highly advanced and subsidized.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"taxis\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Taxis<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Taxis in Prague are generally cheaper compared to other European cities, but of course, they\u2019re significantly more expensive than taking the bus. Rates are computed by adding the entry fee, which is around 40 CZK, with the kilometer rate, which is pegged at a maximum of 28 CZK per kilometer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Quick note:<\/strong>&nbsp;There have been reports of taxi drivers ripping off tourists traveling from the airport to the city by taking the longer, more expensive route. As a rule of thumb, the standard price from the airport to the city center should only be around 700 to 800 CZK.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"average-prices-in-prague-for-necessities\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Average Prices in Prague for Necessities<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"food-and-drinks\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Food and Drinks<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Meal prices in Prague can vary. Generally, the average price of food in Prague is quite affordable. This may however,depend on where you\u2019re eating, whether at a fast-food chain or at a fine dining restaurant. To have a quick idea of how much food typically costs, let\u2019s use an international food product: Big Mac meal.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In Prague, a Big Mac with medium fries and drink cost around 150 CZK. That\u2019s also roughly the price of a meal at an inexpensive restaurant. An evening of fine dining for two in a mid-range restaurant in the city center can cost around 800 CZK. A bottle of beer costs around 43 to 50 CZK, while you can get a cup of cappuccino for 56 CZK. Prague street food prices are relatively very cheap when compared to actual restaurants. However, most people still prefer to eat in the restaurants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"hotels-and-accommodations\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Hotels and Accommodations<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Prague has a lot of options for <a href=\"https:\/\/prague.org\/cost-apartment-prague\/\">accommodations<\/a>, but for&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/prague.org\/comparison-of-hotel-prices-in-prague\/\">the best rates<\/a>, you may need to book early. Shared rooms at hostels can cost around 12 to 20 USD (263 to 439 CZK), while private rooms cost around 40 to 70 USD (877 to 1,535 CZK).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The average price in Prague for rooms in budget hotels located just outside the city can be booked for just around 30 to 50 USD (658 to 1,096 CZK), while those nearer the city center range from 65 to 100 USD (1,425 to 2,193 CZK).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For longer stays or those traveling in a group, apartment rentals are a good option and Prague apartment prices typically go for&nbsp; around 50 to 120 USD (1,425 to 2,632 CZK), largely depending on the length of your stay as well as the part of the city where the apartment is located.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ins class=\"bookingaff\" data-aid=\"2250729\" data-target_aid=\"2250729\" data-prod=\"map\" data-width=\"100%\" data-height=\"590\" data-lang=\"ualng\" data-dest_id=\"0\" data-dest_type=\"landmark\" data-latitude=\"50.0755381\" data-longitude=\"14.4378005\" data-mwhsb=\"0\" data-address=\"Prague, Czechia\">\n    <!-- Anything inside will go away once widget is loaded. -->\n        <a href=\"\/\/www.booking.com?aid=2250729\">Booking.com<\/a>\n<\/ins>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">\n    (function(d, sc, u) {\n      var s = d.createElement(sc), p = d.getElementsByTagName(sc)[0];\n      s.type = 'text\/javascript';\n      s.async = true;\n      s.src = u + '?v=' + (+new Date());\n      p.parentNode.insertBefore(s,p);\n      })(document, 'script', '\/\/cf.bstatic.com\/static\/affiliate_base\/js\/flexiproduct.js');\n<\/script>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"cost-of-living-in-prague\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cost of living in Prague<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The cost of living in Prague can vary depending on your lifestyle and spending habits. A single person estimated monthly costs are 1,014.2$ (22,637.2K\u010d) without rent. This includes groceries, transportation, utilities, and other expenses. Health insurance is not mandatory in the Czech Republic, but it is recommended.
