  Yann B. asked:

  Hi guys ! I was wondering where is the best place to change a big amount of € to czk ? What's the best rate I can expect ? ( 25.000 € to be exact ) Thanks ;)

  

  Seray S. replied:

  I converted high amount last month at Praha exchange. This was the one I could get the best rate, call them to learn the current daily rate. http://www.prahaexchange.cz/

  

  Max D. replied:

  Exchange cz for sure if akcenta

  

  Cristian M. replied:

  Most banks are willing to negotiate the exchange rate if the amount being exchanged exceeds a certain threshold. Not sure if a random street exchange would do that.

  

  Slavko Z. replied:

  Negotiate! from my experience, when exchanging big amount of money, every exchange office was willing to negotiate! I've visited 10-15 offices, negotiate the best course and at the end come back to the one that gave me best offer..

  Where is the best place to change US dollars?

  

  David W. replied:

  I believe Praha Exchange on Jindrisska will exchange lira. Alfa Exchange might also do it. http://www.prahaexchange.cz/ http://www.alfaprague.cz/web2/

  

  Danny M. replied:

  Exchange.cz they have a office at staromestska. You can print a voucher online that gives you the VIP rates if you exchange for more than 1000 czk :)

  

  Nina F. replied:

  Alfa exchange on namesti republiky is the top for me

  You could try at Praha Exchange... It looks like they used to change Lithuanian money. No idea if they would now. http://www.prahaexchange.cz/

  In Lithuania itself you could only change litas until 15 th January, so I doubt you will be able to exchange it in CZ

  Jason H. asked:

  Hi, Does anyone know which bank or bureau de change in prague buys Mexican peso? I went to a couple of banks ect and none did so far.

  

  David W. replied:

  The one on Jindrisska doesn't list Mexican pesos on their site, so I doubt they take them either. http://www.prahaexchange.cz/

  

  Ben M. replied:

  Have you tried the currency exchange place just off vaclavske namesti? I think the street is called jindrinsska?

  

  Will R. replied:

  Does anyone know where the best place is (with good rate) to exchange cash (£ & €) to czk?

  I'm sick of posting my response to this question. I just use www.prahaexchange.cz, because I get better rates there than at www.alfaprague.cz

  Roxana A. asked:

  Hello!!! Anyone knows what is the best place to change money in Prague? That is safe and not so high commission?.

  

  David W. replied:

  As far as I know, there are still four "good" ones: www.prahaexchange.cz www.exchange.cz www.exchange8.cz www.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.

  Exchange.cz with coupon for VIP rate (click Zaujal vás náš VIP KURZ a nejste VIP klient? Vytiskněte si slevový kupón)

  

  Dan C. replied:

  the two exchange shops on Panska street, opposite each other, both good, reliable, decent rates

  

  Gary C. replied:

  An exchange place in Hlavni Nadrazi wanted over 250 kc commission on a 50 euro note exchange, a few days back. Almost 20%.

  Zora L. asked:

  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.

  Viktor H. replied:

  The exchange rate is actually really great right now... depending on what you're doing, just withdrawing from an ATM might be better, unless you're working with cash to cash exchange... in that case, what Adela Krumlova suggested! :)

  

  Martina K. replied:

  Definitely Exchange near Old Town Square as this is the best rate. Before you go make sure you print out Slevovy kupon - it is on the website. Hand this over at the counter and you will get even better rate!

  

  Alia R. replied:

  Does anyone know, please, if they or any other place would accept marked dollars. I have a few with small marks on them like a scribble or marker dot or some Look like old bills. I don't even remember where I got them, just didnt pay attention when i was given change back. So far no luck in exchange, all places want perfect new crunchy dollars.

  

  David W. replied:

  Oh... Praha Exchange doesn't put their rates online anymore, but their VIP rate is usually a few hellers better than the alfaprague rate for exchanging USD. (I don't track the Euro or other rates generally, so YMMV.)

  

  Abdellah H. replied:

  and for prague exchange the vip it's for everyone :)

  Simon S. asked:

  Does anyone know of any particularly good places to change Czech crowns to British Pounds?

  

  David W. replied:

  There are four good ones, generally. The four best are: Smenarna Alfa: http://www.alfaprague.cz/web2/ Praha Exchange: http://www.prahaexchange.cz/ EXCHANGE sro: http://www.exchange.cz/index2.php Exchange 8: http://www.exchange8.cz/en 3 of those publish exchange rates online (at the URLs above), Praha Exchange does not, but is usually in line with Smenarna Alfa. There might be others with similar rates, but I haven't heard of any that are consistently better.

  

  Abdellah H. replied:

  Jonathan O. asked:

  Is there a good place to change money late at night in Prague?

  

  David W. replied:

  www.prahaexchange.cz is open until 11:45 pm on Tuesday-Saturday (only 9 pm Sunday and Monday according to their website) and is on Jindrisska next to the main post office. The fourth "good one" is http://www.alfaprague.cz/ but they aren't open late, either.

  

  Neil W. replied:

  Jenny H. asked:

  Hi, Are banks open on Sundays? Also, where might the best place for currency rate be to change money in Prague? Any suggestions appreciated. Thanks!

  

  David W. replied:

  Need to get this pasted on my forehead: The continuous question... There are four good ones, generally. The four best are: Smenarna Alfa: http://www.alfaprague.cz/web2/ Praha Exchange: http://www.prahaexchange.cz/ EXCHANGE sro: http://www.exchange.cz/index2.php Exchange 8: http://www.exchange8.cz/en 3 of those publish exchange rates online (at the URLs above), Praha Exchange does not, but is usually in line with Smenarna Alfa. If there are any others that are really good, I haven't seen them yet.

  

  Jennifer H. replied:

  No they're definitely not open. But I'll let someone else answer the exchange palce question.

  

  Zeibura K. replied:

  The place on the corner of Bělehradská and Jugoslavská next to I.P.Pavlova usually have decent exchange rates.

  

  Will R. replied:

  No, they shut on Sundays. Click on the magnifying glass icon just below the main pic here on the right hand side and enter "exchange" and it will turn up the questions and answers which have been asked 100 billion times on here.

  

  Zuzana K. replied:

  What do you mean they can never do anything? I think they are still able to open an account, do exchange, etc

  

  Will R. replied:

  In my experience then they can do exchanges but not transactions. The only reason they are open on a Sunday is to cater for customers who want to open an account.

  

  David W. replied:

  Oh since I wrote that up, Smenarna Alfa doesn't put their VIP rates online anymore. That, or they've gone expensive. I still use Praha Exchange most of the time.

  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?

  

  Abdellah H. replied:

  Paul K. replied:

  There is a small ''no commission'' currency exchange booth in the Flora shopping Mall, ground floor, close to Albert.

  

  John-Kelsie M. replied:

  I was at my bank in Palladium and checked the rate at the exchange place on the bottom floor (next to the pet shop). The rate was .25 cents better than the bank and had no commission or fees.
