Current Travel Situation
Romania to Czech Republic: What You Need to Know
Romania and the Czech Republic are both EU and Schengen member states. Prague is consistently one of the most visited European capitals and a favorite destination for Romanian tourists. Direct flights from Bucharest to Prague are operated by Wizz Air, Ryanair, and others. The Czech Republic has not yet adopted the Euro; it still uses the Czech Koruna (CZK).
How to Get There
Prague combines easily with Vienna (4 hours by train or bus), Dresden, and Berlin. FlixBus and RegioJet provide affordable coach connections between Central European cities. Prague to Bucharest is also served by overnight coaches.
Money & Banking
The Czech Republic uses the Czech Koruna (CZK), not the Euro. Romania uses the Romanian Leu (RON). Exchange RON to CZK or EUR at Prague airport or city exchange offices. Avoid exchange booths near tourist hotspots as rates can be unfavorable. Revolut and Wise offer competitive CZK exchange. Cards are widely accepted in Prague.
Practical Tips
Prague is famous for its medieval Old Town, Wenceslas Square, Charles Bridge, Prague Castle, and vibrant nightlife. Day trips to Cesky Krumlov, Kutna Hora, and Karlovy Vary are popular. Brno is worth a visit for its Moravian wine culture. The Czech Republic produces excellent beer; a half-liter of beer in a local pub typically costs less than EUR 2.
