For a real traveler, the Czech Republic is a pleasant country in all respects. It invariably pleases with picturesque Prague leaf falls over the bridges over the Vltava, tones up with a light frost on the well-groomed slopes of ski resorts, allows you to support the body tired of beer excesses with the healing waters of Karlovy Vary springs and gives you a lot of pleasure from walking along medieval sights of a European scale. Going to the Czech Republic on your own means discovering an amazing country, from where everyone returns in love, inspired and inspired by new ideas and plans to conquer the world.
Entry formalities
A visa to the Czech Republic requires a standard set of documents for the Schengen, while the passport must be valid for at least three months after the tourist returns home. For those who decide to go to the Czech Republic on their own, medical insurance and confirmation of hotel reservations are required for the entire period of their stay in the country.
Upon entry, Czech border guards may require proof of the traveler's financial solvency, which, according to the law, is expressed in a daily amount of CZK 1,010 per adult.
Crowns and expenses
The official currency of the Czech Republic is Czech crowns, which can be exchanged for dollars or euros at any bank or exchange office. Before using their services, it is worth clarifying the size of the commission, about which, as a rule, written visual information is not presented at the stands. Fraudsters offer their services with enviable consistency, and therefore any unofficial currency manipulation should be avoided.
The approximate prices for the most necessary things are quite democratic, compared to the rest of Europe and even Moscow:
- A mug of beer, depending on the location, will cost from 30 to 50 CZK, a plate of meat snacks - up to 150, and a large hot meat dish for two will cost 300 CZK. You can drink coffee for 30 CZK, and lunch in a street cafe is easy and for 120 CZK, if you carefully observe where the locals rush during lunch.
- A taxi from Prague airport to the city center will cost 600 CZK, and an express bus only 50.
- A liter of gasoline in the Czech Republic in terms of US dollars costs about $ 1, 8, so car rental will not be a very cheap enterprise.
- A sightseeing auto-walking tour of Prague can be bought right on the street for 15 euros, and a beer tour with tasting of a foamy drink in the most popular city breweries - for 40 euros (all prices are approximate and quoted for August 2015)
