Moving back to the States in a couple days, already closed Czech bank account, but still have a several thousand crowns in cash left. How best to exchange that for dollars? Just a regular "no commission" tourist exchange booth? Any recommendations?

Either of these two are good as well, get their app on your phone or print out the VIP card and you'll get a slightly better rate too: http://www.exchange8.cz/ http://www.exchange.cz/
Hello!!! Anyone knows what is the best place to change money in Prague? That is safe and not so high commission?.

As far as I know, there are still four "good" ones: www.prahaexchange.czwww.exchange.czwww.exchange8.czwww.alfaprague.cz They're all pretty close, though I usually go to Praha Exchange. Two of them are on Kaprova, Praha Exchange is on Jindrisska, and alfaprague is near Palladium. If you can't get at least as good as the rate that www.alfaprague.cz has on their website, you should be going somewhere else to exchange your money.
Any tips on where to get a good USD into CZK exchange rate? I believe banks are always a ripoff and heard that a couple of those exchange booths downtown offer better ones. Is that true?

I haven't had them check that closely recently, but I try to get new bills when I am going to use them for exchange.
