Tipping in the Czech Republic

In Czech restaurants you round up to the next ten or twenty koruna, or simply say the total you want to pay. Prague's most touristed streets are where you need to check the bill for a service charge.

Round up to the next 10 or 20 koruna, or say the total you want to pay. Check for a service charge in the heavily touristed parts of Prague.

Rates shown are typical amounts, converted to local currency at approximately 27 Aug 2026. Tipping customs evolve and vary from region to region, so treat this as your best starting point rather than a hard rule. Where a bill already shows a service charge, that is usually the tip.

Common questions

How much do you tip in the Czech Republic?

10% or rounding up to a neat figure. A 380 koruna bill becomes 400.

How do I tip in Prague?

Say the total as you hand over your money — the server will bring the change from that number. Handing over cash and saying nothing sometimes means you get no change back at all.

Are there tourist traps to watch for?

In the streets around Old Town Square, check for an added service charge and for menu prices quoted per 100g rather than per portion. Both are legal and both catch visitors out.
