I just can tell you about my personal experience: Most often it would have been possible for me to pay with Euros in restaurants, bars or hotels, but the exchange rate was really bad. So I preferred to exchange money in a bank and then use Czech crowns. If you book tickets or accommodation online, it wasn't a real problem for me because the prices in Euros where reasonable.
So I chose to use Euros there. Ticket machines such as for public transport were not accepting Euros last summer, but maybe this has changed in the meantime. If you are in a hurry, there are money exchanges in the touristy places - but take care which rate you're looking at - the CZK buy rate is what interests you here. Sign up to join this community.

The Czech currency is the crown koruna in Czech. It is usually noted as "Kc" in shops and "CZK" in banks. One crown, in theory, is divided into haler, though halers no longer circulate. Coins come in denominations of 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, and 50 crowns.
Bills come in denominations of 50, , , , 1,, and 5, crowns. The euro is not in circulation in the Czech Republic, though euros are sometimes accepted at large hotels and larger shops.
Many hotels list their rates in euros for the convenience of foreign guests, though of course you always have the option of paying in crowns.
Pickpockets are the number one thing to look out for. Make sure you can see or feel your money and other valuables. And observe the golden rule: if you do not need to carry it, leave it in the hotel safe. Beware over-charging: in restaurants, check the bill carefully; in taxis, insist the driver puts the meter on - and if there is no meter, agree a price before you set off; avoid small currency exchange booths - see our advice on currency exchange above.

There are cobbled streets in some areas of the city, notably in parts of the Old Town , Lesser Town and at Prague Castle , but while the cobbles can be a little hard going, you should not find them too onerous.
The New Town is the most suitable area to stay in, particularly around Wenceslas Square see hotels and apartments. Road surfaces are more even, and hotels, restaurants, shops and entertainment venues are generally more modern; buildings are more likely to have lifts and be more spacious.

From the quayside, users of light folding wheelchairs can board most boats, and staff can assist if necessary. Heavy electric wheelchairs can only access certain boats. Some boats, including the Prague Panoramic Dinner Cruise , have disabled toilets.
