Best Time to Visit Czechia
The best time for a luxury trip to Czechia is during the shoulder seasons of May, June, or September. During these months, the weather is pleasantly mild (15-22°C), and the crowds at major sites like Prague Castle are manageable. December is also a magical, albeit cold, time to visit for the world-famous Christmas markets and festive atmosphere in the luxury hotels.
Currency & Money
Czechia uses the Czech Koruna (CZK). While most luxury establishments, restaurants, and shops in Prague and Karlovy Vary accept major credit cards (Visa, Mastercard), it is advisable to carry some cash for smaller boutiques or traditional taverns in Český Krumlov. Tipping is standard at 10% in high-end restaurants for exceptional service.
Getting Around Czechia
For a luxury experience, avoid public regional buses. Use the 'Business Class' or 'First Class' options on the national rail carrier, České dráhy, or private providers like RegioJet. For the most flexibility and comfort between cities like Karlovy Vary and Český Krumlov, private chauffeur services are highly recommended and can be arranged through most 5-star hotel concierges.
