We recommend bringing layered clothing, a light jacket or coat, and comfortable walking shoes. A light rain jacket is also useful, as occasional showers are possible.

The official currency of the Czech Republic is the Czech koruna (CZK). The euro (EUR) is not officially accepted, though some tourist places may take it at a less favorable rate.
Credit and debit cards are widely accepted, and ATMs are easy to find throughout Prague. For small purchases, it is useful to have some cash in CZK.
