Where these codes and rates come from
The three letters in EUR, USD or JPY are not an abbreviation someone invented for a website: they are ISO 4217, a standard in which the first two letters are the country's own code and the third is usually the initial of the currency. The figures on this page come from the European Central Bank, which publishes one set of reference rates each working day, around 16:00 Central European time, agreed between the central banks of the Eurosystem. They are a daily snapshot meant for statistics and accounting, not a live trading feed — which is exactly why they are the same number for everyone, rather than whatever one bank happened to quote at one moment.
Where you meet an exchange rate
You meet an exchange rate four or five times a year without thinking about it: booking a trip, paying an invoice issued abroad, buying from a foreign shop, reading a salary offer in another currency, or checking what a card charge really cost. In all of these the reference rate is the honest middle, and the price you actually pay sits a little to one side of it. Knowing the middle is what lets you see how wide that margin is.
Questions people ask
Is this the rate my bank will give me?
No, and no page can promise one. This is the European Central Bank's reference rate: the midpoint published once a day for statistics. A bank, a card scheme or an exchange office adds its own margin on top — usually between half a percent and three percent, sometimes more at an airport counter. Use this figure to judge the offer you are given, not to predict it.
How often does the figure change, and what happens at weekends?
The European Central Bank publishes once each working day, in the afternoon, Central European time. There is no publication on Saturdays, Sundays or TARGET holidays, so on those days the page shows the last working day's rate and says which day it belongs to. The chart alongside is one year of the same daily series.
Is the answer exact?
Where both units are defined in terms of one another by whole numbers, yes — the page says so above the figure, and the only rounding is in how many digits are shown. Where the ratio has no finite decimal, the page shows twelve significant digits and says the relation is approximate rather than pretending otherwise.

Four Czech champions in Melbourne: Mandlíková, Navrátilová, Lendl and Kvitová at the Australian Open, and what a crown buys in dollars
Every January, for two weeks, the courts of Melbourne Park turn blue and the city turns into the capital of world tennis. The Australian Open, the first Grand Slam of the season, has long been a happy hunting ground for players from Czechoslovakia and the Czech Republic. In 1980 and again in 1987, Hana Mandlíková, a fast, elegant attacker from Prague, won the women's title. Martina Navrátilová, born in Prague and later an American citizen, won the title in 1981, 1983 and 1985. Ivan Lendl, a grim, methodical baseliner from Ostrava, took the men's title in 1989 and 1990. And in 2019, Petra Kvitová, a left-hander from the Moravian town of Fulnek, reached the final after a long and moving recovery from a knife attack on her hand in 2016. Their performances have drawn thousands of Czech fans to Australia, and the trip combines a summer holiday at the other end of the world with a first-class sporting festival. The first practical question is how many Australian dollars a Czech crown buys. This page answers it. Use it to Convert CZK to AUD with the daily reference rates published by the European Central Bank, in which both currencies are quoted against the euro; the page combines them into a crown-dollar figure and prints its date under the result. The amount you type never leaves your browser.
Using the converter
One field, one answer
Before booking a flight or a ticket, Convert CZK to AUD for the whole budget and keep the figure with your plans.
Enter a sum in Czech crowns, and the page answers in Australian dollars and cents together with the day of the fixing used. An Australian dollar is worth about fifteen crowns, so the figure that comes back is much smaller than the one you typed. Fixings come out once on each working day; on weekends and public holidays the page repeats the last one and says so. Below the box are round sums and a graph of the last thirty days. For the opposite direction, from dollars into crowns, see Convert AUD to CZK.
What the number stands for
The displayed number is the market's midpoint on a working day, minus any bank's share. A bank, a booth or an app will quote slightly less, and the gap in per cent is the cost of the service: under one per cent is very good, two or three per cent is usual, and above four deserves a second opinion. Let every Convert CZK to AUD be your yardstick. The sums below rely on an invented, round rate of fifteen crowns to the dollar; it is neither a forecast nor today's price, so replace it with the real figure.
Czech tennis, a short history
From Prague's islands to the world
Tennis has been played on the Štvanice island in the Vltava, in the middle of Prague, since the nineteenth century, and the island's courts hosted international tournaments for decades. In the twentieth century, Czechoslovakia produced a stream of champions despite a system that kept players under strict control and limited their travel. Jaroslav Drobný won Wimbledon in 1954 as an exile with an Egyptian passport, Jan Kodeš won three Grand Slam titles in the 1970s, and Hana Mandlíková, Martina Navrátilová and Ivan Lendl made names for themselves in the 1980s. After 1989, the Czech Republic kept producing champions: Petr Korda won the 1998 Australian Open, Jana Novotná won Wimbledon in 1998 after a famous defeat in 1993, and Tomáš Berdych, Petra Kvitová, Barbora Krejčíková and Karolína Plíšková reached Grand Slam finals.
Petr Korda and the title of 1998
Petr Korda, a left-hander from Prague, won the Australian Open in 1998, beating the Chilean Marcelo Ríos in the final without losing a set, and rose briefly to second in the world rankings. His son Sebastian later became a professional tennis player too, and his daughters are golfers. The family's sporting spirit makes them a sort of royal house of Czech sport.
Kvitová, the left-hander
Petra Kvitová won Wimbledon in 2011 and 2014 and two season-ending championships, and in December 2016, she was attacked by an intruder at her home in Prostějov, injuring her playing hand. After surgery and months of rehabilitation, she returned to tennis the following year, and in 2019 reached the Australian Open final, where she lost a three-set match to Naomi Osaka. Her return is remembered as one of the great comebacks of sport.
Going to the Open
Tickets and the grounds
A ground pass and a seat are priced very differently, so Convert CZK to AUD for both and choose the sessions that matter.
Melbourne Park has three main stadiums, Rod Laver Arena, Margaret Court Arena and John Cain Arena, plus more than a dozen outside courts. A ground pass, which allows access to outside courts and the grounds but not to the main arenas, costs about 50 to 80 dollars on early days, and a seat in Rod Laver Arena for a day or night session costs from 100 to more than 700 dollars. At the invented rate, a ground pass at 60 dollars is 900 crowns. Convert CZK to AUD for each ticket, and decide which sessions to see. Tickets go on sale in the last quarter of the year and can sell out for finals.
Heat and clothing
January in Melbourne can be very hot, with temperatures above 40 degrees, and a heat rule suspends play on outside courts when the temperature or humidity becomes dangerous. Spectators should wear a hat, use sunscreen, carry a refillable bottle and take breaks in the shade. Convert °C to °F gives temperatures in Fahrenheit. The weather can turn quickly, so bring a light jacket for the evening.
Food, drink and prices
Prices inside the grounds are higher than outside, so Convert CZK to AUD for a lunch both ways and decide whether to eat before you arrive.
A beer at the grounds costs 10 to 14 dollars, a coffee 5 to 6, a sandwich 12 to 18, a meal 18 to 30. Food stalls offer cuisines from all over the world, and bringing your own food is allowed in small quantities. Prices inside are about a third above city prices. A day at the tennis, with the ticket, a lunch and a drink, costs 100 to 150 dollars, or 1,500 to 2,250 crowns.
Melbourne and Victoria for a Czech visitor
The city
A hostel bed, a tram ride and a coffee make up the daily cost, so Convert CZK to AUD for each and add them for a week.
Melbourne is a city of laneways, trams, street art and coffee. The tram network is free in the city centre, a saving that adds up over a week. The Queen Victoria Market, the Royal Botanic Gardens, the National Gallery of Victoria and Federation Square are within walking distance of one another. A hostel bed costs 40 to 70 dollars, a mid-range hotel 180 to 320, and a restaurant dinner 35 to 70.
The Great Ocean Road
A rental car and fuel dominate the cost of this day, so Convert CZK to AUD for both and compare with a coach tour.
A day trip or two from the city leads along the Great Ocean Road, 243 kilometres of cliffs, beaches and rainforest, to the Twelve Apostles. A rental car costs 60 to 120 dollars a day, and the drive takes four hours one way. Fuel is sold by the litre, and Convert L to gal relates it to the gallon. Distances are posted in kilometres, and Convert km to mi converts them to miles.
Time and getting there
There are no direct flights from Prague to Australia; routes go through the Gulf, Singapore or Hong Kong, and the journey takes 22 to 30 hours. Australia is ten hours ahead of the Czech Republic during the Open, because the Australian summer coincides with the European winter. Czech citizens need a visa before travelling, which is applied for online through the official government site. For other time comparisons, Convert CET to EET shows the one-hour gap with Eastern Europe.
How to watch tennis like a regular
The scoring, in one paragraph
A tennis match is divided into sets, and each set into games. A game is won by the first player to score four points with a lead of two, and the points are called love for zero, then fifteen, thirty and forty. When both players reach forty, the score is deuce, and one of them must win two points in a row. A set goes to the first player to win six games with a two-game lead, and if the score reaches six all, a tie-break to seven points decides it. Men's matches at the Grand Slams are played over the best of five sets, women's over the best of three, which can mean five hours of play. A final set can also be decided by a tie-break to ten points at the Australian Open. Newcomers need a few games to catch on, and a neighbour will usually explain.
The court beneath their feet
Tennis is played on three main surfaces: grass, as at Wimbledon, with low, fast bounces; clay, as at the French Open, which slows the ball and favours long rallies; and hard courts, as at the Australian Open and the US Open, which give a medium-fast bounce. The Australian Open court is blue, a colour chosen for television visibility, and it is cushioned to ease strain on joints. The type of court shapes the style of play, so players from clay-court countries often take time to adapt. Czech players have been successful on all three surfaces.
The serve and the return
A first serve can reach more than 200 kilometres per hour for the men and more than 190 for the women. Because players have a second chance, a double fault, two failed serves in a row, gives a point to the opponent. A good return takes reflexes and anticipation. Watching the server's toss and shoulder can tell you where the ball will go. Spectators who follow the ball for a game realise how quickly everything happens.
Etiquette in the stands
Spectators stay silent while a point is being played and applaud after it ends. Moving to a seat or leaving is allowed only during a changeover or at the end of a game, when stewards open the gates. Phones should be silent, flash photography is forbidden and shouting to a player is frowned upon. Cheering for the underdog, a Mexican wave in the evening and a good-natured song between points are tolerated. Families with children should choose the outside courts, where the mood is more relaxed.
Summer in Melbourne, more than tennis
Beaches and bay
A beach day costs little, but Convert CZK to AUD for the tram, the lunch and the sunscreen and see where the money goes.
When the match is over, Melbourne offers beaches: St Kilda, a short tram ride from the centre, has a pier with a colony of little penguins, a promenade and a funfair, while Brighton Beach is known for its coloured bathing boxes. Swimming is possible in January, and the water is around 19 to 21 degrees. Swim between the flags where lifeguards patrol. A day on the beach, with a sandwich and a drink, costs 20 to 40 dollars.
Culture and festivals
Special exhibitions cost more than permanent ones, so Convert CZK to AUD for the ticket and the audio guide before you buy.
January and February are busy months, with the Midsumma festival of queer culture, open-air cinemas in gardens, concerts in the Botanic Gardens and food markets at night. The National Gallery of Victoria has free permanent collections and paid special exhibitions at 20 to 30 dollars. The State Library, a beautiful domed building, is free to enter. Convert CZK to AUD for a ticket to a special exhibition, and compare it with the National Gallery in Prague.
Australia Day
On 26 January, the national day, Australians hold barbecues, fireworks and beach parties. The date marks the arrival of the First Fleet in Sydney in 1788, and for many Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people it is a day of mourning, called Invasion Day or Survival Day, when marches and ceremonies are held. Visitors should respect both views, be sensitive in conversations and try to learn about the history of the continent's first peoples.
Cricket and other summer sport
If tennis is not enough, January also brings cricket, with the Big Bash League, a short and noisy version of the game, and Test matches at Sydney Cricket Ground. A ticket costs 25 to 120 dollars. Beach volleyball, surf life saving competitions and sailing regattas fill the calendar. For a Czech fan used to ice hockey and football, all of this will look exotic and joyful.
Preparing for a long journey
Jet lag
A stopover adds a hotel bill, so Convert CZK to AUD for one or two nights and compare it with the cost of arriving tired.
Australia lies ten hours ahead, so the body clock takes a few days to adjust. Doctors advise spending time in daylight at your destination, avoiding long naps, drinking water on the plane and moving your watch to local time at departure. Melatonin may help some travellers but should be discussed with a doctor. Plan an easy first day. A stopover of one or two nights on the way, in Singapore or Dubai, breaks the trip and costs 100 to 250 dollars a night.
Health and documents
Carry travel insurance with medical cover, since care in Australia is expensive for visitors. Pack prescription medicines in their original packaging, with a doctor's letter. The emergency number is 000. Keep copies of your passport and visa separate from the originals, and register with the Czech embassy for assistance.
Budget summary
For a ten-day trip for two, with flights excluded, a mid-range plan with a hotel at 220 dollars a night, meals at 120 a day, two days at the Open at 400 together, transport 80 and extras 300, reaches around 3,800 to 4,500 dollars. At the invented rate, that is 57,000 to 67,500 crowns. Convert CZK to AUD with the real rate before you finalise.

Mistakes to avoid
Underestimating the heat
Summer in Melbourne can be dangerous for those unprepared. Drink water, rest in the shade and listen to the heat warnings.
Buying tickets late
The best sessions sell out. Buy as soon as sales open and keep the confirmation on your phone.
Using an old rate
A rate from last month can be wrong by several per cent. The date shown beside the result protects you each time you Convert CZK to AUD.
In short
The only thing fetched from the network is the table of daily rates, while your amount stays in the browser and no account is needed. From the courts on Štvanice island to Rod Laver Arena, the routine is the same: Convert CZK to AUD, read the date and compare every offer with the number on this page.
