Czech Republic. Usually my girlfriend has ~$5 on her for stuff like lemonade stands or public bathrooms, and I'm the irresponsible one who hasn't carried cash since 2018. Some pubs, very small stores or small tourist attractions (climb a tower, see the inside of a church, etc) are still cash-only, especially in the rural parts of the country, but visiting or living in Prague (the capital) cashless is easy with zero issues.


Can you finally pay for the metro tickets with card in those big, clumsy machines (not the one located at the central)?


I believe so (not entirely sure), but there’s a mobile app now and a new kind of machine where you just tap your card and out comes a pre-validated ticket that you can put in your pocket and ride. The regular ones that need to be validated are a trap for unsuspecting tourists.
