If you're travelling to the Czech Republic, it's important to shop around and compare currency suppliers to maximise your chances of getting a good deal. We can help you to find the best Czech koruna exchange rate by comparing a wide range of UK travel money suppliers who have Czech koruna in stock and ready to order online now. Our comparisons automatically factor in all costs and commission, so all you need to do is tell us how much you want to spend and we'll show you the top suppliers who fit the bill.
Compare before you buySome of the best travel money deals are only available when you buy online. By using a comparison site, you're more likely to see the full range of deals on offer and get the best rate.
Order onlineAlways place your order online, even if you plan to collect your currency in person. Most supermarkets and high street currency suppliers offer better exchange rates if you order online beforehand.
Combine ordersIf you're travelling with others, consider placing one large currency order instead of buying individually. Many currency suppliers offer enhanced rates that improve as you order more.
The best Czech koruna exchange rate right now is 27.9213 from eurochange. This is based on a comparison of 7 currency suppliers and assumes you were buying £103 worth of Czech koruna for home delivery.
The best Czech koruna exchange rates are usually offered by online travel money companies who have lower operating costs than traditional 'bricks and mortar' stores, and can therefore offer better currency deals than their high street counterparts.
For supermarkets and companies who sell travel money online and on the high street, it's generally cheaper to place your order online and collect it from the store rather than turning up out of the blue and ordering over the counter. Many stores set their 'walk-in' exchange rates lower than their online rates because they can. By ordering online you're guaranteed to get the online rate and you can collect your order from the store as usual.
Over the past 30 days, the Czech koruna rate is up 0.98% from 27.9213 on 20 Mar to 28.1949 today. This means one pound will buy more Czech koruna today than it would have a month ago. Right now, £103 is worth approximately Kč 2,904.07 which is Kč 28.18 more than you'd have got on 20 Mar.
These are the average Czech koruna rates taken from our panel of UK travel money providers at the end of each day. You can explore this further on our British pound to Czech koruna currency chart.
Timing is key if you want to maximise your Czech koruna, but the best time to buy will depend on the current market conditions and your personal travel plans.
If you have a fixed travel date, you should start to monitor the Czech koruna rates as soon as possible in the period leading up to your departure so that you've got time to buy when the rate is looking favourable. For example, if the Czech koruna rate has been steadily increasing over several weeks or months, it could be a good time to buy while the rate is high.
Some people prefer to buy half of their Czech koruna as soon as they've booked their holiday, and the remaining half just before they depart. This can be a good way of maximising your holiday money if the exchange rate continues to rise after you've bought, but will also help to minimise your losses if the rate drops.
You could also consider signing up to our newsletter and we'll email the latest rates to you each month.
If you need your Czech koruna sooner and don't have time to wait for the rates to improve, you can still save money by comparing rates from a range of different providers before you buy. Online travel money suppliers usually have better Czech koruna rates than high street exchanges, but supermarkets are a good compromise if you want to collect your currency in person and still get a decent rate. Just remember to buy or reserve your Czech koruna first before you collect them from the store so you benefit from the supplier's better online rate.
One Czech koruna can theoretically be subdivided into 100 hellers, although hellers are no longer in circulation so the smallest physical unit of currency you're likely to encounter is the Kč 1 coin. The symbol for Czech koruna is Kč which is an abbreviation of 'Korun českých' or 'Czech crown' in Czech.
There are six denominations of Czech koruna banknotes in circulation: Kč 100, Kč 200, Kč 500, Kč 1000 and Kč 2000 which are frequently used, plus a Kč 5000 note which is not widely accepted and can be difficult to exchange in smaller shops and restaurants. There are six Czech koruna coin denominations: Kč 1, Kč 2, Kč 5, Kč 10, Kč 20 and Kč 50.

There's no evidence to suggest that you'll get a better deal if you buy your Czech koruna in the Czech Republic. While there may be better exchange rates available in some locations, your options for shopping around may be limited once you arrive, and there's no guarantee the exchange rates will be any better than they are in the UK.
Exchange rates aside, here are some other reasons to avoid buying your Czech koruna in the Czech Republic:
Lastly, it can be handy to have some cash on you when you arrive at your destination so you can pay for any immediate expenses like food, transport and tips. You don't want to be searching for the nearest currency exchange when you've just landed and you're desperate for a cup of tea - or a cocktail!
Sending money to a company you might not have heard of before can be unsettling. We routinely check all the companies that feature in our comparisons to make sure they meet our strict listing criteria, but it's still worth knowing how your money is protected in the unlikely event a company goes bust and you don't receive your order.
Your money is not protected if you pay by bank transfer. If the company goes bust and you've paid by bank transfer, it's unlikely you'll get your money back. For this reason, we recommend you pay by debit or credit card wherever possible because they offer more financial protection.
Debit cards are the most popular payment method and they offer some financial protection. If you pay by debit card and the company goes bust, you can instruct your bank to make a chargeback request to recover your money from the company's bank. This isn't a legal right, and a refund isn't guaranteed, but if you make a chargeback request your bank is obliged to try and recover your money.
Credit cards offer full financial protection, and your money is protected by law under Section 75 of the Consumer Credit Act. Section 75 states that your card issuer must refund you in full if you don't receive your order. Be aware that many credit cards charge a cash advance fee (typically around 3%) for buying currency, so you may have to weigh up the benefits of full financial protection with the extra cost of using a credit card.
