I would also use a card, these days if the country is card friendly, the rates are much better than exchange to cash

I haven't used cash in the Czech Republic for years - just use a card as you would at home.

A Forex card is like a Revolut card, they are the same thing. I have never used either and don't understand why anyone would rather than just using a regular debit card or credit card. The idea is the same, obviously, to charge something.

If a Revolut card would be accepted, I don't know why the Forex card wouldn't but public transportation isn't that expensive, just buy the type of tickets you need with the card at a metro station. They say you can use a contactless credit card, so I don't know. You can buy a 3 day pass for only the equivalent of about 13 euro.

I have no idea how these cards work (Revolut or Forex), they must work like a credit or debit card I presume or what's the point of them. If so, get some local currency from an ATM with that card and use it to buy a travel pass. I think a 3 day pass is 330 CZK but you can get tickets from a machine in a metro station.

@ChristinaW - Revolut/Wise, etc are basically debit cards and are Visa-branded

Exactly, Revolut is not some special type of a card. Revolut is a bank and issues regular Visa Debit for their accounts. The only difference is that their product is heavily geared towards currency conversion.

Hi Rach , Im from India too, last couple of times I been to France & Italy ( I think it will apply to Czechia as well) - the ticket machines in the train stations doesnt accept forex or debit cards. Even if you have “international” transactions enabled on your card . It doesn’t accept , I saw many people were facing this issue. Thankfully I was carrying my credit card (Hdfc Regalia) and it worked fine.

So I think as long as you have a international Credit (visa/mastercard) card , you can easily puchase tickets without any issues.

Hope this helps!
