Current Travel Situation
Luxembourg to Czech Republic: What You Need to Know
The Czech Republic is a landlocked Central European country of 10.9 million people and one of Central Europe's most visited tourist destinations. Prague, the capital, is one of Europe's best-preserved medieval cities: the Charles Bridge, Prague Castle (the world's largest ancient castle complex), the Old Town Square with the Astronomical Clock, and the Jewish Quarter are all within walking distance of each other. Beyond Prague, the Bohemian countryside offers spa towns (Karlovy Vary), Baroque chateaux, and excellent cycling along the Elbe and Vltava rivers.
How to Get There
Prague is about 8-9 hours by train from Luxembourg via Frankfurt and Nuremberg or direct buses. Ryanair and Wizz Air fly from Luxembourg to Prague. By car, the drive is approximately 7 hours via the A3/A6 motorways through Germany.
Money & Banking
Czech Republic uses the koruna (CZK). Prague is significantly cheaper than Western Europe: pub meals CZK 150-300 (EUR 6-12), decent hotel rooms CZK 1500-3000/night. ATMs are plentiful. Tipping 10% is appreciated but not mandatory.
Practical Tips
Prague deserves 3-4 days to explore its multiple distinct neighborhoods: Hradcany (castle district), Mala Strana (Lesser Town), Stare Mesto (Old Town), and the trendy Vinohrady district. Day trips: Cesky Krumlov (2.5 hours south, UNESCO medieval town), Kutna Hora (1.5 hours east, Gothic cathedral of bones). Czech beer culture is legendary: Pilsner Urquell, Budvar, and hundreds of craft breweries.
