Approximate exchange rates for main currencies

ATM

ATMs are located all over the city, outside the city center mainly at shopping malls and underground stations We don't recommend use of an ATM with the "EuroNet" brand on it because of DCC, or additional fee. However we think you can use only card as most places accept them here.

The main venue of the election night is Club Kotelna. It is located 350 meters away from station Depo Hostivař, where the final stop of metro A (green) is and it's also bus and tram station.

Taxi

The Uber/Bolt services are operating in Prague/Czech Republic. We don't recommend stopping a taxi on the street, always use mobile phone apps or call for a taxi using the taxi call center service

Car and Bike sharing

You can use car-sharing for getting around Prague. The most known is Car4Way and AnyTime. For bikesharing we recommend Rekola. We don't recommend electic scooters like Lime as Prague is really not adapted to them.

Internet/mobile network

If you are traveling from an EU country, EU roaming rules apply. Please check with your home mobile operator. For non-EU travelers there are often free Wi-Fi networks inside shopping malls, restaurants. Prepaid SIM cards are very costly in Czechia so use Wi-Fi if possible. The Club Kotelna, where the Czech election event is held, has a free Wi-Fi for guests. The password is located at the venue.

How to get to Prague

By train

International trains are coming to Praha Hlavní nádraží (Prague's main railway station), which is situated at the city center, about 5 minutes walk from Václavské náměstí (Wenceslas square). Metro station called "Hlavní nádraží", which is line C (red one) is in a building of the train station.

By car (parking)

Parking within city center can be done usually by renting a garage at website https://www.mrparkit.com/en. Parking on a street is paid in Prague. P+R is located at the city outskirts usually next to metro stations and the daily fee is 50 or 100 CZK (depends on location). In city centre there are "blue zones" which are paid per hour. More information about parking at https://www.praguehere.com/parking-prague.

By plane

There is a Václav Havel Airport inside Prague (airport code PRG). You can use public transport as a way of getting to the city. Bus number 119 can take you to the ending station “Nádraží Veleslavín”. There is a metro station which you can use.

Advice is not to take a taxi on the street at the airport, but always use services such as Uber, Bolt or call the taxi using the call center. The Estimated price of a taxi from the airport to city center should be about 500-750 CZK (depending on travel demand etc.), which is 20-30 €.
