• Speed limits are 50 km/h in cities, 90 km/h outside urban areas and 130 km/h on highways.
• Highway sticker "Dálniční známka" is obligatory for driving on motorways.
• Seat belts are mandatory for driver and passengers alike.
• Zero tolerance for drink driving.

Car Class Recommendation

Compact or mid-size cars are perfect as they are comfortable enough for long journey's and efficient in navigating through narrow city streets. SUVs are recommended for those planning a countryside trip.

Attractions

Some spots to visit are Ostrava, the region's largest city, Beskydy and Jeseníky mountains for hiking and skiing adventures, beautiful castles like Hrad Hukvaldy or Raduň Chateau and technical relics like the Michal Mine in Ostrava or the Lower Vítkovice area.

Currency

Czech Republic uses Czech koruna (CZK), not Euro. While a lot of places accept card payments, it's handy to have some change for smaller establishments and parking payments.
