The Czech Koruna is issued by the Česká národní banka (Czech National Bank). Notes circulate in Kč 100, 200, 500, 1000, 2000 and 5000 denominations. The current series features Czech historical figures including Charles IV (Kč 100), Jan Amos Komenský (Kč 200), Božena Němcová (Kč 500), and Tomáš Garrigue Masaryk (Kč 5000). The Czech Republic joined the EU in 2004 but, like Denmark and Poland, has not adopted the Euro and retains the Koruna. INR/CZK typically trades around ₹3.65-₹3.85 through 2024-2025. The Kč 5000 is the highest denomination and rarely needed by tourists.

Your Passport is the primary document for a foreign-currency transaction. For amounts above the equivalent of USD 3,000, or for outward remittance purposes, you will also need your confirmed air ticket for travel-purpose forex. PAN Card is required for all transactions above INR 50,000 as per RBI guidelines. A visa is not required to buy the currency itself; carry it only if your own travel needs it.
Some tourist-oriented Prague businesses near Old Town Square accept Euros, but always at very poor rates with change returned in Koruna anyway. You need CZK for an authentic experience: Czech beer halls, smaller restaurants outside Wenceslas Square, public transport (tickets at stations or via mobile app PID Lítačka), and most of the country outside Prague. Pre-buy from us in Chennai for the best effective rate.
We recommend a mix weighted toward Kč 200 and Kč 500 notes for most daily spending: restaurant meals run roughly Kč 300-Kč 800, museum entries Kč 150-Kč 400, and full-day transit passes Kč 120. Kč 1000 notes are useful for hotel deposits and larger purchases but can be hard to break in small bars and shops. The Kč 2000 and Kč 5000 notes are rarely useful for tourist trips, since most merchants don't keep enough change.
Czechia is technically required to adopt the Euro as a condition of EU membership but has no fixed timeline and has not joined ERM-II (the Euro-adoption preparation mechanism). Public opinion has consistently favoured retaining the Koruna, and the Czech National Bank has been independently managing inflation through its own rate policy. For practical purposes, expect Koruna to remain Czechia's currency for the foreseeable future, at least 3-5 years out.
