Jewish Prague - accommodation in Prague - luxurious apartments & hotels - kosher cusine

Prague has been for a pretty long time one of the safest places in Europe, there are still couple of precautions you should consider.
First of all, there are professional pick-pockets working here, especially in crowded places like the underground (Metro). These are often organized groups moving through Europe.

• Better keep your valuables deep in your inside pockets
• Change money on the street

Banks are O.K. although some private changers (with established offices) give better rates and no or little fees.
Beware of places that offer 0% fee and always ask how much money are you actually going to obtain first, too often you will find that the zero applies only if selling local currency (Czech Crown) and when buying, you are charged huge fees up to 20%.
