Best Time to Visit Czechia
The ideal time for a luxury tour of Czechia is during the shoulder seasons of late spring (May and June) and early autumn (September and October). During these months, the weather is pleasantly mild, perfect for exploring both cities and vineyards, and the tourist crowds are significantly thinner than in mid-summer. For those seeking a festive atmosphere, December offers magical Christmas markets, while the spa towns like Karlovy Vary are particularly atmospheric in the winter snow.
Currency & Money
The official currency is the Czech Koruna (CZK). While Czechia is part of the EU, the Euro is rarely accepted except in some major international hotels and shops (often at a poor exchange rate). Credit and debit cards are universally accepted in luxury establishments, but carrying a small amount of cash is useful for small tips or markets. Tipping is customary in restaurants; for high-end service, a 10% tip is standard and appreciated.
Getting Around Czechia
For intercity travel, the Czech rail network is excellent. The 'SC Pendolino' and 'Railjet' trains offer premium first-class and business-class cabins with meal service. For more flexibility and a door-to-door luxury experience, private chauffeur services are the preferred method of transport between regions like Prague, Český Krumlov, and Brno. Within Prague, the historical center is best explored on foot, though luxury ride-hailing services like Uber Black are readily available for longer city hops.
