    What is the best to do with money? Withdraw from an ATM in the airport/city center, change euro or pay with credit/debit card?

    really depends on your banks exchange rates...  EURCZK is 25.900 at the moment. You can find good exchange offices in Prague where the rate could be around 25.500. So if your bank does it better, use your cards/withdraw ATM ... but doubt that.

    Yeah but don't they also charge fees? I tend to just withdraw money from a bank ATM when I travel, or use credit cards, rather than try to sort out which is a good money exchange office where I won't get ripped off. It's served me well :)

    We've now bought some inflatable chairs for the queue. I'm guessing the arena has a place to store people's stuff?

    I would not recommend changing at the airport, notorious for fees. Plenty of places in town, check rates and commission.

    Personally I am using my card as much as possible.

    Uber works a treat in Prague also.
