The Czech Republic, like much of Europe, has a temperate climate with four distinct seasons. Summers (June to August) here tend to be warm and sunny, with temperatures sometimes reaching highs of 26°C (78.8°F). You should expect occasional thunderstorms too. Winters (December to February) are cold and often freezing, with temperatures often reaching -2°C (28.4°F) — snowfall is common at this time too.

Spring tends to be chilly in March with temperatures reaching up to 18°C (64.4°F) in May — Autumn is similar with frequent rainfall.

While there’s never a bad time to visit the Czech Republic, the best time is generally from late Spring to early Autumn (May to September). The weather is at its most pleasant and the days tend to be long and sunny — plus, there are plenty of festivals and events on during the Summer months.

While conventions can vary from country to country, tipping is customary in Europe. A general rule is 10% of the bill for wait staff, and a smaller amount (€1 or €2) for other service providers.

Tipping is an expected, though not compulsory, component of your tour programme, and an expression of satisfaction with the people who have assisted you on your tour. There are several times during the trip where there is opportunity to tip the local guides. You may do this individually, or your CEO will offer to collect the money and tip as a group. Recommendations for tipping local guides would range from €3 to €5 per day, depending on the quality and length of the service. Ask your CEO for specific recommendations based on the circumstances and culture.

At the end of each trip, if you felt your G Adventures CEO did an outstanding job, tipping is expected and appreciated. The precise amount is a personal preference, however €30 to €40 per person, per week can be used as a guideline.

Internet access in the Czech Republic is fairly good and reliable, and most cities have excellent coverage. You’ll be able to access free Wi-Fi in many public places like restaurants, libraries, stations and cafes, though you should be aware that in rural areas, connections may be slower. Please also note that if you’re using data on your phone from outside the EU, you may be subject to roaming charges. Check with your network provider before you travel.

In a word, yes — there are plenty of ATMs (or ‘bankomats’) in the Czech Republic — particularly in major cities and towns. Most ATMs accept major credit and debit cards like Visa, MasterCard, and American Express, though you should check with your bank in case of withdrawal fees. To avoid these, it’s best to use ATMs from major banks like ČSOB, Raiffeisen Bank, and Komerční Banka too.

You should also carry cash with you if you’re in remote areas in case of emergency or if you can’t access an ATM. You should also be aware that not all ATMs work 24/7 — plan accordingly.

As currency exchange rates can fluctuate often we ask that you refer to the following website for daily exchange rates: www.xe.com.

In general, yes, the Czech Republic is LGBTQ+-friendly. There’s ongoing support for same-sex marriage, and cities like Prague and Brno have regular LGBTQ+ events like Pride.

As part of their commitment, all CEOs receive LGBTQ+ inclusion training so every traveller feels respected and welcomed on all of our tours. We commit to making our tours a safe and inclusive place for people to express their authentic selves without judgement, free from any discriminatory language or harassment.

While travelling with G Adventures, all travellers must treat each other with dignity and respect to create an environment that is positive, safe, and where everyone feels welcome. You can find out more via our LGBTQ+ travel page.

The official language of the Czech Republic is Czech, which is spoken by the majority of the population. Given the diverse population resident here, other languages spoken here include Slovak, Polish, English, Russian, Ukrainian and Vietnamese.

Yes, you can drink tap water all over the Czech Republic as a general rule. We recommend you bring a reusable water bottle for environmental reasons.

In general, yes — the Czech Republic is generally an incredibly safe place to visit. However, like everywhere else in the world, petty crime like pickpocketing and tourist scams do occur. Be aware of your surroundings in places like Prague, and use the precautions you would do back at home, and you should be completely fine.

G Adventures takes all reasonable measures to ensure your safety and enjoyment while travelling with us. All of the included activities are properly vetted and regularly checked by us, and we take great care in choosing the right transportation, stays throughout your trip, and guides to lead your tour.
