What 5 EURO Gets You In Prague? (Hint: A Lot)

Hii, my girlfriend and I are planning to visit Prague this summer for a week, and since it's our first international trip together, we were a bit stressed out and scared of getting scammed, your channel helped a lot, and we're glad we're visiting such a beautiful city very soon! Much love from France ! 🥰

[@randomyoutubewatcher23]

Hope you both have the best of time

[@djocharablaikan8601]

Its impossible to get scammed in prague, you can see the grift from 1000 miles away, taxi used to be big in scamming but that got mostly checked by UBER and competition, if you go seeking the "Adult Entertainment" you will get finessed, as is the truth in every part of the world. Memorize conversion rate for your currency in czech crowns so you can spot obvious Bollocks easier, but if you have a feeling that everything is expensive, you are 100 percent right, because chances are, most things are gonna cost more in prague than at back home unless you live in switzerland. 25 czech crowns is 1 euro give and take some small change. So if you think something is costing more than reasonable ammount, feel free to call the Bollocks and walk away, finding good places to eat and sleep is simple, Google is your friend. If you want to exchange money, stick to the couple of exchanges in Jindrizska street near wencesslass square, they are usually run by arabs and have the best rates. Crime is pretty low here so other than grifters its not too much to worry about. Just dont be a moron.

[@ashersmith3466]

how did it go?

[@NickyHendriks]

Even though I hate tourist-ridden places because it's so crowded, Prague is one of the few where I actually felt 'at home' for some reason. Don't know why but it just felt relaxed in a way. Definitely want to return there some time, if not for the place itself it's for the food and drinks. Still bummed out by the fact that I can't get Kozel Cerny outside of the Czech Republic, or at least not the last time I checked.

I love places that have "transport tickets" rather than what we have here. One ticket if you go by train, one if you go by bus, one if you go by tram / sumway (assuming there is one) etc. And most of them will have a price that is WAY higher if you buy it with cash/card rather than download the app for each company. Some refuse to take cash, some refuse to take card (very rare, but has happened).

[@azbugman1]

Thank you for a positive, helpful & fun video. I stopped watching the videos because it was constant drama, and we already know life itself presents enough of that, all by itself without having to surf for it. Everything, & everyone in the world doesn't present a danger just waiting to jump out at us. With a healthy dose of information & situational awareness I think we can enjoy our travels much more. I hope to see more balanced videos like this of your beautiful home & I hope to travel to Prague in the future. Thanks again!

Czech republic has amazing prices if you're a tourist. You can eat and drink for about half the price of what things cost here in Germany.

Opposite feeling in reversed situation… 😔

[@jmsmilfajt]

Such prices are extremely hard to come by in Prague nowadays. Even kebabs are often more than 5 EUR, let alone full meals in restaurants - they cost well above 10 EUR in many cases. We even often travel to Germany and have no problem with prices here, it's very similar.

[@thestroyer17]

Well living there is realy expensive, but getting a meal or so (its usually tradionall meal) u can get fot 5-6 euros. Before covid came, u would get those meals for 4 euros. Beer should usually cost you around 1,5 euros half a litre, but in most pubs in prague its usually 2-2.5 euros.

[@Dida16]

@@thestroyer17 only beer is cheap in Prague. The cost of the products in souper markets is similar to London. A magnet for the fridge for example, starts from 4 euros and higher. Meaning the souvenirs in Prague are more expensive than in Paris ! It wasn't only me, we met other ppl who where equally surprised with the cost of living there. Two days later, we went to Vienna and everything was cheaper there. Imagine our surprise!

[@rojorojo2509]

[@Dida16]

I was in Prague 3 months ago and everything was overpriced. Given the information I had about Life there and the average cost of living, I was expecting lower prices for pretty much everything. At first, we thought that only the old town would be that expensive because it is a big tourist trap. We soon realized that the whole city is expensive with few exceptions. Also, we met some tourists from the Balkans who were equally surprised by the average cost of things too. The next days in Vienna were much cheaper! Imagine that!

[@molonlabe9602]

Just returned from a 6 city Europe trip and I agree 100% with your assessment. I thought Prague was way overpriced.

[@cristiancorjan4587]

Wow, the inflation hit Czech Republic really hard. Last time when I was in Prague you could buy so much more with €5 than some french fries with cheese. Now it's close to Vienna prices and it was half of them back in 2018-2019

Annual inflation is nearby 20% also national bank is selling reserves to boost exchange rate and make CZK more expensive.

[@vasilpetrov9931]

I used to live in Prague from 2012 to 2015. Even then you could barely survive with 5euros. I did have around 30k salary which was good for me because in my 20s. I remember in this period some prices increased with 60-70 percent and left for good. Then I came back for holiday in 2018 I paid Airbnb 60euros lunch for 2 was 60 euros. Dinner who knows how much. What i want to say now inflation is even bigger and 5 euros are nothing in modern life. Prague became more and more expensive but I love it, Prague is one of the best capitals in Europe.

[@mloxard]

I think that inflation is more probable than holiday prices

[@IgorFerro1]

Same, stayed there from the 30/12 to the 03/01, and I feel that either the places are now famous and they increased the price, or it was a holiday price. But even with that, I really liked Prague, I want to go back there off-season.

Price of everything is up, because of inflation in Czech Rep. :( Things cost now 1.5x - 2x more, then before war on Ukraine.

[@adamw.3409]

„real cheap public transport” ?? maybe if you compare it to some west european countries... you should compare them to other central Europe capitals instead, like Warsaw (where I live).. in Warsaw a 75 min ticket costs 0.95 euros, in Prague 90 min ticket is 1,67 euros... in Warsaw a 24h ticket is 3,20 euros, in Prague the same ticket is 5 euros... 72h ticket in Warsaw is 7,60 euro , in Prague 72h is almost 14 euros... that’s almost double... the only thing that is cheaper in Prague than in Poland’s capital is beer in a pub... Czech people who live near the Polish border buy their groceries , petrol etc. in Poland

[@Pidalin]

@@adamw.3409 But in Prague, ticket is valid even for all trains, boats and cablecars, you buy 5 eur ticket and you just can use every possible vehicle in Prague. I think in Warsaw, it's not like that, but maybe I am wrong, it's 3 years since I visited Warsaw.

I love your videos! And I love Prague. I doubt that you will see this comment, so it’s an open question to all the czech viewers. I study in Slovakia and I always travel there by train, so I usually have a stay at Praha hlavní nádraží. I don’t have a card, so I always exchange some Euros for CZK at a change office at the train station (I know that they are ripping me off, but usually I am to hungry to care). Usually I get like the equivalent of 16€ in CZK when I give them 20€. But no matter what amount I give them I will always get a bunch of 100CZK or 200CZK bills and a single 1CZK coin. Here’s my question does anyone know why they always give you a single 1CZK coin in addition to the CZK bills, is it to fool foreigners? So they think they got their exact moneys worth? Like „oh, they even gave me a coin, so they must’ve given me the exact exchange rate”, or is there another reason for that?

[@RandomTheories]

I would suggest to exchange money before you leave, you should get definitely over 20CZK for 1€ (currently the official exchange rate is around 24CZK/1€) and yes..that single coin seems like BS to me

Just a tip for buying tickets for the public transportation: try to buy it in a metro station or at a busstop if you can instead of ON the tram. I was in Prague two weeks ago and I bought two day tickets every day which costs 240 czk. Later I found out that the machine charged me 300 czk for the days that I bought the tickets ON the tram! Also it doesn’t charge your card right away, but a couple of days later. This is obviously a scam! I wish Janek and Honza would look further into this.

[@IbrahimLucas]

@Rob Lynn well let me see… it’s 120 czk for 1 day ticket. I bought 2. So 2 x 120 is 240 czk. Not 300 czk according to my math. Maybe you can explain to me how 2x120=300.
