Traveling to Czechia? Land Connected.

Czechia pairs Prague's spires and castle hill with spa towns, wine country and Bohemian castles, all in a compact, easy-to-travel country. Data from touchdown makes it easy: maps for the old town lanes, train times, and restaurant bookings, all without hunting for a SIM shop on arrival.

Choose the Plan That Fits Your Trip

  • Fixed data or unlimited: pick from the plan grid above by trip length and data use — fixed-data plans for maps, messaging and light browsing, unlimited plans for heavy video, navigation and hotspot use.
  • Instant delivery: your QR code and installation link are emailed within minutes of checkout. Install before your flight; validity starts on the day you activate.
  • Good to know: your phone must support eSIM (dial *#06# and look for an EID), and your 15-digit IMEI is required at checkout so your eSIM can be provisioned.

Travel Highlights

  • Prague: Charles Bridge at dawn, Prague Castle, the Old Town Square and its Astronomical Clock, and the riverside cafés of Malá Strana.
  • Český Krumlov: a riverside old town of Renaissance lanes and a castle above a bend in the Vltava, best with an overnight stay.
  • Karlovy Vary: spa colonnades and hot springs in the western spa triangle, with Mariánské Lázně nearby.
  • South Moravia: wine villages around Mikulov and the Lednice–Valtice parkland, best by bike in late summer.
  • Kutná Hora: the Gothic St. Barbara's Church and the medieval silver-mining old town, an easy day trip from Prague.

Getting Around

  • Ride-hailing — yes: Uber, Bolt and the local app Liftago all operate in Prague. Use the app for a set price rather than hailing on the street, and avoid unmetered taxis at the airport and main station.
  • Between cities: trains are the easiest way to reach Brno, Olomouc, Český Krumlov (via České Budějovice) and the spa towns; buses fill in smaller routes. Buy tickets at stations or in the carrier apps.
  • City transport: Prague's metro, trams and buses use one ticket system — buy a ticket or pass before boarding and validate it. Most of the old town is best explored on foot.
  • Airport to the city: from Václav Havel Airport, the Airport Express bus runs to the main railway station, and regular buses connect to metro lines. Licensed taxis and ride-hailing pick up outside the terminals.

Safety and Practical Tips

Czechia is generally safe for travelers. The main risks are pickpockets around Prague's Old Town Square, Charles Bridge and the main station, and taxi overcharging — use ride-hailing or a metered taxi from an official rank, and keep your phone and wallet in a front pocket or a zipped bag.

Tap-to-pay cards and phones are accepted in most shops, restaurants and hotels in cities, but carry some cash for small pubs, markets and rural buses. Tap water is safe to drink in Prague and most towns.

Entry and Visa

Visa rules depend on your passport. Czechia is in the Schengen area: many passports enter visa-free for up to 90 days in any 180-day period; other nationalities need a Schengen short-stay visa applied for before travel. Check the latest requirements for your passport before you book, and make sure your passport is valid for at least three months beyond your planned departure from the Schengen area.

Weather and Climate

  • Temperate continental climate: four clear seasons — cold winters, warm summers, and changeable springs and autumns. Rain is possible in any month.
  • Prague at a glance: January averages around 0°C (highs near 3°C, lows near -3°C); July averages around 20°C (highs near 26°C, lows near 14°C). Snow is common in winter but usually light in the city.
  • Best months: May, June and September are generally the best for sightseeing — mild, with longer days and fewer crowds than July and August. July and August are the warmest and busiest. December brings Christmas markets and cold weather, with a chance of snow.
  • What to pack: layers all year, plus a waterproof jacket; warm layers, gloves and a hat for winter.

Money and Payments

  • Currency and cards: Czech koruna (CZK), not the euro. Cards are widely accepted in cities, hotels and restaurants; contactless is common. Keep some koruna cash for small pubs, markets and rural buses.
  • WISE and similar travel cards — yes, supported: the Wise card works in Czechia wherever Visa or Mastercard is accepted, and similar multi-currency cards, such as Revolut, work the same way on the Visa/Mastercard network. Check the card app for current ATM limits and fees before you travel, as these change.
  • Tipping: rounding up is common; 10% for good restaurant service is appreciated. Taxi drivers are usually rounded up.
  • Cash tips: use ATMs in town rather than airport or old-town exchange counters, which usually give worse rates, and always choose to pay in koruna (local currency) if a terminal offers conversion — never accept a terminal's own exchange rate.
