Places to explore, things to do in Czechia
Prague is the obvious entry point — gothic spires, baroque squares, a castle complex that takes a full afternoon — and after you've done the Charles Bridge dance, the rest of the country opens up. Český Krumlov bends around a river loop under another castle; Olomouc has the same architectural lineage at a fraction of the tourist load.
Czech beer culture is unrivaled in Europe and intentionally cheap; a half-liter of unpasteurized Pilsner Urquell in a Plzeň cellar costs less than a coffee in Vienna. Pair it with svíčková or roast pork and dumplings, and don't skip the spa towns of Karlovy Vary and Mariánské Lázně.

It depends on your nationality. Run a quick check to see whether you need a Schengen visa, ETIAS, or can travel visa-free.
The Czech Republic uses the Czech Koruna (CZK). While an EU member, the country has not adopted the Euro. ATMs are plentiful across Prague and other cities. Card payments are widely accepted, but keep some cash for street vendors and smaller establishments. Use bank ATMs to avoid unfavorable exchange rates at tourist-area bureaux.
