The HappyEast Guide

Exchanging money in Prague can be tricky. There are plenty of exchange offices that offer bad rates and try to rip tourists off. If you just walk into whatever place from the street there is a high chance of you losing a lot of money. That doesn't mean, however, that you are forced to pay by card, for which many businesses in Prague also offer unfavorable rates. I know two exchange offices with really good rates. At the time of writing, both place are offering more than 25 crowns for 1 euro. Other currencies are also sold at prices close to those from stock exchanges. These places are:

1. Směnárna Alfa (first two photos) - located in the same building as the shopping center Palladium (so you can go shopping right after exchanging your money 😁). Their main advantage is the central location and website where you can check current prices: www.alfaprague.cz

2. Exchange Prague (two last photos) - located in Jindřišská 12, a street that starts in the middle of Wenceslas square (Václavské náměstí). This exchange office normally offers slightly more favorable rates than the first one but be ready to wait in a queue and mind your belongings as this spot can be a little dodgy!

That's it. If you know anything better or were not satisfied with the ones I mentioned, let me know in the comments.
