PRATİK BİLGİLER

Gitmeden bilmen gerekenler.

Turist tuzağı, SIM kart, nakit/kart, taksi ve güvenlik — beş soruda şehrin gerçeği.

Biggest tourist mistake

Never leaving the Charles Bridge–Old Town line and missing Vyšehrad, Letná and the local beer gardens.

SIM card & internet

O2/T-Mobile tourist packs are cheap in the centre; eSIMs are widely accepted.

Cash or card?

'0% commission' exchanges give Europe's worst rates; pay by card and decline DCC at ATMs.

Taxi & transport apps

Bolt or Liftago only; a street-hailed cab is a tourist trap, not a lottery.

Safety

A safe city; Wenceslas Square at night draws club touts and the 'plainclothes police' scam — nobody checks currency on the street.

TRAVEL GUIDE

İçeriden bilgiler.

Arama motorunun ilk sayfasında bulamayacakların.

Must Do

  • Take tram 22 up to the castle instead of walking; get off in Malá Strana on the way back.
  • Cross Charles Bridge once at dawn or midnight.
  • Drink Pilsner Urquell served 'hladinka' — with the proper foam.

Avoid These

  • '0% commission' exchange offices — Europe's worst rates.
  • Restaurants along the main Old Town–Castle route.
  • Hailing taxis on the street; only Bolt or Liftago.

Tips

  • Trdelník isn't a Czech tradition — it's a tourist invention; save your money.
  • Night trams (91-99) run until morning.
  • 'Prosím' means both please and you're welcome — the magic word.

Hidden Gems

  • Vrtbovská Garden: a hidden baroque terrace behind an anonymous door.
  • Cross Club: a nightclub built like a scrap-metal art installation.
  • Riegrovy Sady beer garden: the locals' sunset spot with a skyline view.
