Use the PID Lítačka app to buy tickets. You can use trams, the metro, or buses. Always validate your ticket once before starting your journey.

Avoid restaurants with menus in five languages right on the main square. Walk a few streets away to find local pubs with better prices and food.

Avoid street exchange booths. They often have hidden fees or bad rates. Use an ATM or a reputable exchange office in the city center instead.
