✦ Num in Czechia

A concierge that already knows Czechia

Prague mapped in detail, over 30,000 places from Old Town to Praha 5 and 6, for anyone who wants the beer hall, café or late bar that is open right now.

Czechia is a compact country of castles, spa towns and Bohemian forest, and Prague is where Num knows it best: 30,658 places, not just in Praha 1's tourist core but through Praha 2, 5 and 6, where the pubs price beer for neighbours rather than day-trippers. Restaurants come to 3,008, bars to 1,723, cafés to 1,904 and hotels to 1,564, so the everyday and the visiting city are both covered.

Ask Num where to drink a tank Pilsner in Vinohrady tonight, which café in Letná opens before 08:00, where to eat svíčková after the theater lets out, or where the nearest pharmacy with a night window is. It handles the small logistics too: a laundrette near your flat, a barber in Karlín, a step-free route from the tram to Prague Castle. Message in any language; it replies in yours with one place, open now.

What to know before you land

Pay in koruna

Czechia uses the koruna, not the euro. Some shops in the center accept euros at a poor rate; pay by card or in koruna instead, and if a card terminal offers to charge you in your home currency, decline and choose CZK.

Exchange booths and dynamic currency

The central exchange offices with a large "0% commission" sign often hide the margin in the rate. Withdraw from a bank-branded ATM and refuse the on-screen conversion; independent ATMs in tourist streets charge heavily.

Trams run on validated tickets

Buy a ticket from a machine, via the PID Lítačka app or by tapping a contactless card on the terminal aboard trams and buses, and validate paper tickets on board. Inspectors are frequent and fines are immediate.

Beer arrives until you say stop

In traditional pubs the server keeps bringing beer and marks each one on a paper slip on your table. Place a beer mat on top of your glass when you are finished.

Winter is proper winter

Prague sits well below freezing for stretches of December to February, with ice on cobbles. Many riverside terraces and beer gardens close from October to April.

How Num works in Czechia

Message Num the way you would message a friend who lives here, in any language. It answers with one real place that fits, open now, and how to get there. It is free for travelers. Businesses list free and pay only when Num completes a booking for them, so nothing here is ranked by who paid.

Questions about Czechia

Is Prague safe for tourists?

Yes, by European standards. The real risks are pickpockets on tram 22, on Charles Bridge and in crowds at the Astronomical Clock, and overcharging in a few bars and taxis aimed at visitors. Use a ride app or a metered taxi and keep valuables zipped.

Can I use Num in Czechia in English?

Yes. Num understands any language, including English and Czech, and answers in the language you write in with one real place that fits what you asked.

Do I need cash in Prague?

Less than you used to. Cards are accepted in almost every restaurant, tram and shop, but small pubs, market stalls and some older cafés are still cash only, so carry a few hundred koruna.
