Living costs in the Czech Republic are considered to be affordable.

The Czech
Republic is a member of the European Union, but is outside the Euro zone, which
means that it does not use the euro as its currency. The Czech currency is the
Czech crown (CZK). The current exchange rate is available at the Czech National
Bank website. You can exchange your money in a bank, hotel or bureaux de
change. Alternatively you can pay with an international banking card or credit
card.

The ISIC
(International Student Identity Card) card is the most advantageous card
for all students. It allows cardholders to get student discounts for transport,

coming to the Czech Republic should obtain an ISIC card at their home
university or in their home country. It is also possible to apply for the ISIC
card on its national official websites.
