Where and how is it more profitable to change currency in Prague?
What currency is better to take with you: euro or can I go with rubles?
I read that it is better to change in exchangers with Arabs in some area, but in some ways (I don’t remember exactly), you need to be more careful, because. can deceive.

With rubles and hryvnia, it is not profitable. On the last trip (for May) it turned out to be more profitable to change dollars for crowns than euros. In general, it is most convenient for me to pay with a card: a salary card, if you withdraw money from it at home. to exchange them for dollars or euros, and in the Czech Republic - for crowns, then a lot of money goes into the exchange. And so, automatically, when calculating, it will recalculate our currency into crowns. Bank services will not be higher than the difference in exchange.
About the Arabs, yes, 100%, if you change, then they have: honestly and a good exchange rate. There are several addresses on the Internet, personally verified - Politických vězňů 14. If you doubt the exchanger. ask, let them write how much they will give for your 100 dollars. and compare with the stated rate.

I confirm that the card is the most favorable rate. For larger purchases, she paid with a Gazprombank card. And she immediately carried crowns in cash - she changed in Moscow (in the First Czech-Russian Bank on Mayakovka) ...

If you still dare to change the currency, but it is clear that you cannot do without cash at all, then be sure to ask if there is a commission. Ask to show on the calculator the exact amount you will receive. The problem is that so many exchangers in Prague take a commission for currency exchange from 10 to as much as 40! percent. Of course they don't talk about it. You will all know post factum when you get your hands on crowns. It makes no sense to complain to the police, they just shrug and say that such a commission is in this exchanger and they cannot influence. With any of your indignation, the girls in the exchangers stop speaking English, Russian, etc., even if they spoke it perfectly 3 minutes ago. From my own experience, I can say that in Prague you can find exchangers that change the currency without any commission. So don't fall for this trick.

Everyone correctly wrote both about the commission and about the Arabs. We also usually change to Politických vězňů.
Z.Y. More about the commission - it can be indicated in tiny font at the bottom of the scoreboard, and on top of a decent rate for advertising. The buying and selling rates can be swapped to make buying seem high at first glance.

The main thing is not to change on the street "with hands" !!! In no case! These are scammers who give tourists Hungarian forints instead of Czech crowns. Indeed, it is best to change on Politických vězňů street

We bought kroons directly in Russia, you can order them in Sberbank, we paid with kroons in small things, and made the main payments from the card, profitably and without problems.

The Czech Republic has a very well developed card payment system: cafes, all shops, even magnets in the tourist area can be paid by card. And so there is only one law of exchange - you show a bill through the glass and wait how much they will show on the calculator. For Arabs, this figure will coincide with what is indicated on the stand on the street, although initially it will seem that this is not the highest rate, but in the end you will win. And no exchange from hand.
