Best Time to Visit Czechia
The best time to visit Czechia for a luxury experience is during the shoulder seasons of May, June, and September. During these months, the weather is pleasantly mild, and the major sites are less crowded than in the peak of summer. Autumn (late September to October) is particularly beautiful in the Moravian wine regions during the harvest, while December offers a magical atmosphere with world-famous Christmas markets and luxury holiday concerts.
Currency & Money
The official currency of the Czech Republic is the Czech Koruna (CZK). While the country is part of the EU, the Euro is only accepted in large tourist shops and at unfavorable rates. Credit cards (Visa and Mastercard) are universally accepted in high-end hotels, restaurants, and boutiques. Tipping is customary for good service; in upscale restaurants, a tip of 10-12% is standard. Always carry a small amount of cash for minor purchases in rural areas.
Getting Around Czechia
For intercity travel, the most luxurious and efficient method is a combination of private chauffeur services and first-class rail. The Czech Railways (ČD) offer 'Business Class' on their Railjet and Pendolino trains, featuring spacious seating and at-seat service. Within cities like Prague, luxury car rentals (Sixt, Hertz) or private transfers are recommended, though the historical centers are often best explored on foot with a private guide.
