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.

Two hockey nations, one tour: following Tre Kronor to Prague and what a krona buys in Czech crowns
Every year, in the dark months between November and April, four national ice hockey teams travel between four cities and play each other in a competition that most of the world has never heard of. It is called the Euro Hockey Tour, and its members are Sweden, Finland, Czechia and, until 2022, Russia. The matches are played in Stockholm, Helsinki, Brno and Prague in a series of events with names that change with the sponsors, and for supporters of Tre Kronor, the Three Crowns, as the Swedish team is called, they are an excuse for a winter trip with a ticket, a pint and a goal. Sweden and Czechia are two of the strongest hockey countries on the continent, and the rivalry between them is long, friendly and loud. A Swedish fan who goes to Czechia soon discovers that the biggest difference is not on the ice but on the bill: prices are lower, the currency is different, and the first question is how many Czech crowns a Swedish krona buys. This page answers it. Use it to Convert SEK to CZK 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 krona-crown figure and prints its date under the result. The amount you type never leaves your browser.
Using the converter
Swedish kronor in, Czech crowns out
Write the amount and Convert SEK to CZK, then write the date on the receipt, since it belongs to the figure.
Enter a sum in Swedish kronor and read the value in Czech crowns underneath, together with the date of the fixing used. A krona buys somewhere around two to two and a half crowns, so the answer is a little more than double the number you typed. Fixings are published once on each working day; on weekends and public holidays the page repeats the last one and says so. A table of round sums and a graph of the last thirty days sit below the box. To convert in the other direction, from crowns into kronor, open Convert CZK to SEK.
The reference and the quote
Before you accept any rate, Convert SEK to CZK and compare it with the quote in per cent.
The figure shown is the midpoint of the market on a working day, before any bank has added its margin. A bureau, an app or a card gives you 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 normal, above four deserves another opinion. Use each Convert SEK to CZK as the yardstick. The sums below assume an invented, round rate of two crowns to the krona, simply to keep the arithmetic tidy. It is not a forecast and not today's price, so replace it with the live figure.
The tour and its rivals
What the Euro Hockey Tour is
The tour was created in the mid-1990s to give the national teams of the strongest European hockey countries a regular schedule of matches between the world championships. Each season has four tournaments, each hosted by a different country, and the national team plays three games against the others. The Swedish stop is called the Beijer Hockey Games, the Czech stop the Czech Hockey Games, and the Finnish stops have carried the names Karjala and Channel One. Because the tour takes place in the winter, the teams use it to test young players before the spring world championship.
Czech hockey in a nutshell
Hockey is the national sport of Czechia, and the country has produced some of the great names of the game. Dominik Hašek, the goalkeeper nicknamed the Dominator, won two Olympic medals, led the national team to gold at the Nagano Olympics in 1998 and won the Hart Trophy as the most valuable player of the NHL twice. Jaromír Jágr, a forward who played professionally until past the age of fifty, is among the highest scorers in NHL history. The national team has won the world championship several times and took gold on home ice in Prague in 2024, a victory that filled the old town with singing for days.
Sweden's answer
Sweden has its own list: Peter Forsberg, Mats Sundin, Nicklas Lidström, Henrik Lundqvist and the Sedin twins, to name a few. Tre Kronor won Olympic gold in 1994 and 2006, and has a long list of world championship medals. The clash between the two countries is always close, and the crowd on both sides sings throughout the match.
A hockey weekend in Prague
The arena and the tickets
A ticket is only part of the evening, so Convert SEK to CZK for the seat, the beer and the tram together.
Prague's big arena, O2, holds around seventeen thousand spectators and hosts national team games and the world championship. A seat at an international match costs about 400 to 1,500 crowns, which at the invented rate is 200 to 750 kronor. Club matches in the Czech league are cheaper, from 150 to 400 crowns, and the atmosphere in the stands of Sparta, Slavia or Kometa Brno is hard to beat. Buy tickets from the official sites and avoid street sellers. Convert SEK to CZK for the match, and plan the evening around it.
Beer before, beer after
Beer prices vary by a factor of two inside and outside the arena; Convert SEK to CZK for both and choose where to drink.
The Czech Republic drinks more beer per person than any other country in the world, something like a hundred and forty litres a year. In an ordinary pub, a half-litre of draught costs 45 to 70 crowns, or 23 to 35 kronor, far less than in Sweden, and the quality is excellent. Inside the arena the price rises to 70 to 100 crowns. Czech beer comes in light lagers, dark lagers and semi-dark ones, and the style that conquered the world, the pale lager, was first brewed in Plzeň in 1842.
What else to see
Prague is a compact city, and a day on foot is enough to see its heart: the Old Town Square with the astronomical clock, Charles Bridge, the castle on its hill, the Jewish quarter and the Lesser Town. Entry to the castle complex costs 250 to 450 crowns depending on the ticket, a ride on the tram a few dozen. A day of tourist sights with lunch comes to roughly 1,000 to 1,800 crowns, or 500 to 900 kronor.
Beyond Prague
Brno and Ostrava
A train ticket is cheap, but Convert SEK to CZK for it and for a night in a hotel before you decide.
The Czech Hockey Games have often been held in Brno, the second city of the country, which has a large modern arena, a castle on a hill and a functionalist villa by Mies van der Rohe. Ostrava, in the east, is an industrial city turned cultural, with a hockey arena, a converted ironworks and a good music scene. Both are reached from Prague by train in two to three hours for a ticket of 200 to 400 crowns, and both are cheaper than the capital.
Beer and spa towns
Plzeň, an hour from Prague, is the home of Pilsner Urquell, and its brewery tour costs about 300 crowns, including a taste straight from the cellar barrel. West Bohemia also has the spa towns of Karlovy Vary, Mariánské Lázně and Františkovy Lázně, where visitors walk between colonnades sipping mineral water from small porcelain cups. A hotel in a spa town costs 1,500 to 3,000 crowns a night.
Moving around
Czech trains are cheap and frequent, and buses run on almost all routes. Seats on the fast trains can be reserved online. Prices for foreigners are the same as for locals. A day ticket for Prague's public transport costs about 130 crowns.
Crowns in your pocket
Cash, cards and bureaus
At a bureau, Convert SEK to CZK first and ask for the final sum in writing before you hand over cash.
The Czech Republic is a member of the European Union but uses its own currency, the crown, called koruna in Czech, divided into hundred haléř, although small coins have disappeared. Cards are accepted widely, and contactless payment works everywhere in cities. Bureaux de change in the centre of Prague have a bad reputation, and some charge fees of ten per cent or more that are not displayed. Exchange cash only at a reputable bank, or use a cash machine from a bank, and refuse when the machine offers to convert the sum into kronor. When in doubt, Convert SEK to CZK first and check whether the rate offered is close.
Prices on a plate
For a daily menu, a dinner and a coffee, Convert SEK to CZK and write the total for the day.
A lunch in a pub costs 150 to 250 crowns, a dinner in a restaurant 300 to 600, a coffee 60 to 90 and a beer 45 to 70. Czech cuisine is hearty: goulash with dumplings, roast pork with cabbage, fried cheese in breadcrumbs and a sweet dessert called trdelník, sold to tourists. At the invented rate, a 200-crown lunch is 100 kronor, a 500-crown dinner 250.
Units and time
The Czech Republic uses metric units and the same time zone as Sweden. If you are planning a call to the east, Convert CET to EET shows the step. For comparisons with the English-speaking world, Convert km to mi and Convert °C to °F help.
Reading the Czech menu and the Czech pub
Hospoda, restaurace, kavárna
Three Czech words will help you decide where to eat. A hospoda is a pub, a place for beer and simple hot food, usually with wooden tables and a regular crowd. A restaurace is a restaurant with waiters and a longer menu, and a kavárna is a cafe with cakes and coffee. In a hospoda you are expected to sit where there is room, even at a table with strangers, and the waiter will keep bringing beer until you put your mat or glass lid over the top. Each mark on the little slip left on your table is a drink, and the total is settled at the end. Keep the slip, as losing it can mean paying a fine.
Ordering without Czech
Menus in tourist areas have English, and many younger Czechs speak it well. Useful words are pivo for beer, dvě piva for two beers, prosím for please and děkuji for thank you. The bill is called účet. Service is not always included, and the usual tip is ten per cent, handed over when you pay: say the total including the tip rather than leaving it on the table. At the invented rate of two crowns to the krona, a 400-crown dinner with a tip of 40 comes to 440 crowns, or 220 kronor. Convert SEK to CZK for the bill and the tip together.
Daily menus
On weekdays many restaurants offer a polední menu, a fixed lunch with a soup and a main dish for 140 to 220 crowns, which is the best value in the country. Office workers fill the tables between eleven and one, so arrive early. A blackboard outside shows the choice for the day.
Ice and silver: the other Czech-Swedish links
Prague, 1648
Sweden and Czechia met long before hockey. In the final summer of the Thirty Years' War, Swedish troops seized part of Prague, the Lesser Town and the castle, and carried off a rich haul of art and books collected by the Habsburg emperor Rudolf II. The loot ended up in Stockholm. Some of it, including paintings, remains in Swedish collections, and some was later dispersed. Czech historians do not look back on the episode fondly, and Czech and Swedish museums now cooperate on exhibitions. A sensible traveller keeps a sense of humour about it at the match.
Modern business
Swedish companies are among the largest investors in Czechia. Car-parts makers, packaging firms, retailers and telecommunication groups have factories in Moravia and Bohemia, and a Czech car brand, Škoda, belongs to a German group but sells strongly in Sweden. Thousands of Swedes live in Prague as students and employees, and thousands of Czechs work in Sweden. This traffic makes the krona-crown rate one of the most used in the region, and a Convert SEK to CZK is a routine step for a finance office.
The crown's history
The Czech crown has been the national currency since 1993, when Czechoslovakia split and the two halves each kept a currency for a few weeks before they went separate ways. The old Czechoslovak crown was divided between the Czech Republic and Slovakia, and the first Czech banknotes were stamped. The Czech National Bank follows an inflation target and lets the crown float, which is why the rate to the krona moves each day. Both countries have kept their currencies instead of joining the euro.
A weekend budget, line by line
Three days in Prague
A Friday-to-Sunday trip might look like this. A return flight from Stockholm: 1,500 to 2,500 kronor. Two nights in a mid-range hotel at 2,200 crowns, or 4,400. Meals at 900 crowns a day, 2,700. A hockey ticket at 800. Public transport at 130 a day, 390. A castle ticket at 450, a museum at 250, a beer tour at 600, together 1,300. Total in Czech money: 9,590 crowns, or 4,795 kronor at the invented rate, plus the flight. Convert SEK to CZK for each line, then add the flight.
Where to save
The simplest saving is the district you sleep in: a hotel in Prague 2 or 3, ten minutes from the centre by tram, costs 20 to 30 per cent less than one in the Old Town. Next comes the food, because the daily menu is cheaper than dinner. Finally, the tourist sights: the city card gives free or reduced admission to many of them and pays for itself after three entries.
Where not to save
Do not buy tickets from unofficial sellers, and avoid the taxis that wait at the railway station, since an agreed fare with an app or a phone call is far cheaper. Travel insurance is also worth its modest price, especially in winter, when ice on pavements can lead to falls.
Other krona conversions
If the trip goes on
Travellers who continue to Poland can use Convert SEK to PLN, those who head to Hungary Convert SEK to HUF, and those who go home through Germany Convert SEK to EUR. For crowns against the euro, see Convert EUR to CZK.
A quick note
Write down the rate and date at each exchange. Compare with the statement once you are home.
Mistakes to avoid
Choosing a bureau in the old town
Walk past the first bureau you see, then Convert SEK to CZK and compare it with the offer at a bank.
The rate on the window may look good while the fee is hidden. Convert SEK to CZK first and ask for the final amount before you hand over money.
Paying in kronor on the card
A terminal that offers to charge you in kronor uses its own rate. Choose crowns.
Forgetting the date
A rate from last month can be wrong by several per cent. The date beside the result is there for a reason.
In short
The only thing fetched from the network is the table of daily rates; your amount stays in the browser and no account is needed. From a national team match to a mug of pilsner, one habit pays: Convert SEK to CZK, read the date and weigh every offer against the figure on this page.
