Czech koruna exchange rate in Warsaw

At the Argentarii kantor at Grzybowska 61 you can buy and sell Czech koruna for cash — on the spot, with no commission. We update the CZK/PLN rate throughout the day; current buy and sell prices are on the board in our office and on the homepage.

The koruna is one of the most frequently exchanged currencies in Poland. Prague is a few hours from Warsaw by car or a short flight away, weekend trips are routine, and plenty of Warsaw-based companies settle invoices with Czech partners. We buy and sell koruna every day, weekends included.

How much does a Czech koruna cost?

The reference point is the National Bank of Poland (NBP) mid-rate — our counter price stays close to it, with a narrow gap between buy and sell. There is no commission on top: the price on the board is the final amount you receive.

For larger amounts the rate is negotiable — just ask the cashier. This applies both when you buy koruna before a trip and when you sell banknotes brought back from Czechia.

Where to buy Czech koruna — in Poland or in Czechia?

Before you leave, in Poland. Exchange offices in Prague’s tourist spots are notorious for inflated rates and fees added in small print. Czech law does give you three hours to cancel such a transaction, but few tourists know this — and fewer want to walk back to the same window in the middle of sightseeing.

Buying koruna in Warsaw means you know the final amount before you travel and have cash the moment you arrive. Don’t count on paying with euros either: outside a handful of border towns, the koruna is the only accepted currency, and Czechia has set no date for euro adoption.

Selling koruna — which banknotes we accept

We buy banknotes of the currently issued designs: 100, 200, 500, 1000, 2000 and 5000 CZK. Older series withdrawn by the Czech National Bank (ČNB) are not accepted — those can only be exchanged at ČNB branches in Czechia.

We don’t buy coins (1 to 50 CZK) either: the cost of returning them to Czechia exceeds their value, so it’s best to spend your change before you leave. Hellers were withdrawn from circulation back in 2009 and have collector value at most.

Reserve your CZK rate online

You can lock in the rate from our website before your visit: fill in a short form and we hold the quoted rate for you for one hour. Useful for larger amounts on a volatile day, when you’d rather not risk the rate moving while you’re on your way over.

FAQ: exchanging Czech koruna in Warsaw

How much is 100 Czech koruna in złoty?

Somewhere in the teens of złoty — the exact amount depends on the current CZK/PLN rate. Check the board at Grzybowska 61 or our homepage; the rate is updated throughout the day.

How much cash should I take to Prague?

Around 1000 CZK per day covers relaxed sightseeing. A pub lunch runs 300–500 koruna, coffee 45–85, a single public transport ticket 30–40. Cards are widely accepted, so cash is mostly for tips and small purchases.

Is it better to buy koruna in Poland or in Czechia?

Poland is the safer bet. Tourist exchange offices in Prague often carry wide spreads and extra fees, and a complaint means returning to the same office within three hours of the transaction. In Warsaw you know the final amount before you go.

Do you buy Czech coins?

No — banknotes only. We don’t buy coins from 1 to 50 CZK because returning them to Czechia costs more than they are worth. It’s easiest to spend them before you leave.

Do you accept older CZK banknote series?

We only buy banknotes of the currently issued designs. Series withdrawn by the Czech National Bank can be exchanged solely at ČNB branches in Czechia.

Can I pay in euros in Czechia?

Outside a few border towns — no. The koruna remains the national currency and no euro adoption date has been set. Bring CZK cash or a multi-currency card.
