Climate and clothing
Prague has a temperate climate with mild but changeable spring weather. In late April, daytime temperatures are usually around 10–15 °C, while mornings and evenings can be cooler.
We recommend bringing layered clothing, a light jacket or coat, and comfortable walking shoes. A light rain jacket is also useful, as occasional showers are possible.
Currency
The official currency of the Czech Republic is the Czech koruna (CZK). The euro (EUR) is not officially accepted, though some tourist places may take it at a less favorable rate.
Credit and debit cards are widely accepted, and ATMs are easy to find throughout Prague. For small purchases, it is useful to have some cash in CZK.
