Currency Exchange

• Exchange offices (public areas, both terminals): Daily 06:00–23:00

  • Airport rates are typically 10–20% worse than downtown Prague; commissions can be high except for larger transactions (≥ €500), which often carry lower or zero commission.

  • Tip: Reserve online beforehand for the best rate.

  • Late arrivals: Exchange cash before clearing customs, as main‑hall offices may close overnight.

• Exchange machines (24/7):

  • Located throughout both terminals — in transit areas and arrival halls (public areas).

ATMs (24/7)

Currency exchange machines dispense only Czech koruna banknotes (200, 500, 1 000, and 2 000 CZK) and accept major cards such as Visa, Mastercard, Maestro, American Express, and others.

⚠️ Avoid EuroNet ATMs if possible — they charge fees and offer poor exchange rates.
