cole Posted January 7, 2012 #1 Share Posted January 7, 2012 We will be on a Christmas Market cruise in December and read somewhere, even though the Czech Republic does not use the Euro, that occasionally Euros are accepted for purchases. Would someone comment on whether we need to exchange for Koruna when we arrive or will Euros be all we need. Thanks for your help. B. Cole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Condocat Posted January 7, 2012 #2 Share Posted January 7, 2012 I was in Prague last year and found at the small shops and restaurants they did not accept Euros. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caviargal Posted January 7, 2012 #3 Share Posted January 7, 2012 We are just back and some of the restaurants and shops printed the price in both on the bill - but we found it a better value NOT to use Euro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stretchcruz Posted January 7, 2012 #4 Share Posted January 7, 2012 It's easy to get you Czech currency from an ATM. We didn't even try to use Euros. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BPCruiser Posted January 8, 2012 #6 Share Posted January 8, 2012 Thanks for the responses. Czech currency it is!B. Cole Cole, we just got back from Prague in November and also found it more economic to use ATM's and use the Czech money. A little tip we found from the boards also is that if you have a Capital One Checking Acct. with ATM card, they rebate ATM fees for non-Capital One Bank ATM's up to $15.00/mo. They also have no Foreign Transaction Fees associated with the use of their credit cards so we opened up a Capital One Account mostly to use for our overseas Travels. It worked great for our last Danube river cruise :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H2Otstr Posted January 8, 2012 #7 Share Posted January 8, 2012 If you have any Czech money left at the end of your trip you can always leave it as a tip for the cabin attendant or the crew. I had a bunch of Hungarian Forin left over so I left it in a cup in my room with our cabin attendant's name on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
