In the capital of the Czech Republic, you can exchange currency for crowns in many banks
The Czech Republic can confidently be called a resort country, as every year more and more tourists come to admire the local beauty and unique architecture. Moreover, the largest share comes from Russian tourists, who are attracted by relative territorial proximity, favorable climate, and affordability (in terms of financial costs) of vacation in this country. And it is quite understandable why the exchange rate of the Czech crown worries many of us, because when going abroad, we want to exchange Russian rubles for the national currency (in our case, Czech crowns) at the most favorable rate.
A barrel of honey
The exchange rate of the national Czech currency is one of the most stable and resilient – neither the global financial crisis nor other negative factors could significantly shake the crown's position relative to other currencies. Therefore, it is not worth pondering over the topic of the Czech crown exchange rate for too long: the rate remains stable. It was about the same a year ago, and will likely stay at this level for a long time.
And yet, you should take care of exchanging rubles for Czech crowns in advance, before departure. Why?
A spoonful of tar
Russian tourists who have not taken care of exchanging rubles for Czech crowns in advance often find themselves in rather unpleasant situations, exchanging currency at extremely unfavorable rates. However, it is mostly the tourists themselves who are to blame, choosing the wrong places for currency exchange. For example, a large sign in front of an exchange office may attract with a favorable rate... And not all tourists pay attention to the small print at the bottom informing about restrictions – the Czech crown can be exchanged at a favorable rate only when exchanging certain (usually very large) amounts.
To avoid such situations, you should take care of exchanging rubles for Czech crowns in advance – any Russian bank will exchange at the most favorable rate for you. If you didn't manage to exchange in Russia, then you should contact large banks in the Czech Republic. By the way, Czech banks are open from 8:00 to 16:00. Don't forget to get an exchange certificate – in that case, if you have crowns left after your vacation, you can easily exchange them back.
Alternative
If you want to save on currency exchange, it is better to transfer money to a plastic card and withdraw it as needed.
