Best Time & Weather
For a luxury experience, the best time to visit Prague is during late Spring (May and June) or early Autumn (September and October). During these months, the weather is pleasantly mild, and the city's gardens are in full bloom or vibrant autumn colors. Visiting during the shoulder season also ensures that the most exclusive venues are slightly less crowded than during the peak summer heat.
Currency & Money
While the Czech Republic is part of the EU, the official currency is the Czech Koruna (CZK). Credit cards are accepted at all luxury establishments, fine dining restaurants, and boutiques. However, keeping a small amount of cash is useful for small gratuities. Tipping is customary in Prague; in high-end restaurants, a 10% to 12.5% tip is expected for exceptional service.
Getting Around
For a premium experience, avoid the public metro and opt for private chauffeur services or the "Liftago" app, which allows you to select high-end vehicle classes. For a classic Prague experience, the historic No. 42 vintage tram offers a scenic and private-feeling loop around the city's main historical sites, though a private Mercedes-Benz S-Class remains the gold standard for luxury transport here.
