Stansted to Prague takes 1 hour 55 minutes each way, which is short enough that the day works properly rather than being all airport.

How long is the flight from Stansted to Prague?
One hour fifty five minutes, direct with Ryanair, and the same coming back. It is one of the shorter hops into central Europe, which is exactly why it works as a day trip when somewhere like Budapest is tighter.
Can you do Prague in a day from Stansted?
Yes, and comfortably. On 31 December the plane leaves at 08:35 and lands at 11:30, and once you have cleared immigration and done the 35 minutes in from the airport you are in the city at 12:45. You head back at 18:55 and land at Stansted at 22:45. That is 6.2 hours on the ground, which in a city this walkable is a real day.
What does a day in Prague cost?
£113.60 a head all in on that date. The flight is £90.00 of it and the day itself is only £23.60, which is the cheapest ground cost of any city we price. That covers the bus in and back at £4.00, local transport at £5.00, lunch at £5.60 and dinner at £9.00.
What can you see in Prague for nothing?
Most of the good bits, as it happens. Charles Bridge and its statues, Old Town Square and the hourly show from the Astronomical Clock, the Prague Castle courtyards and the Royal Garden, Petřín Hill and the walk up from Malá Strana, and the Letná Park viewpoint over the bridges. If you want one paid thing, Prague Castle and St Vitus Cathedral on the basic ticket is £15.93, which is 450 Kč, checked 3 November.
Which December day is cheapest to Prague?
New Year's Eve, by a mile. The flight is £90.00 on the 31st against £128 on the 11th, £143 on the 18th and £177 on the 27th. If you fancy seeing in the new year somewhere else and still waking up at home, that is the one.
What is Prague like in late December?
Cold and worth it. The average high for that date is 7°C and the low is 1°C, and it has rained on that date in 2 of the last 10 years. The Old Town Square and Wenceslas Square markets both run to 6 January and are open 10:00 to 22:00 on the 31st. We have written up Prague's Christmas markets as a day trip separately if that is the bit you care about.
Every Prague date we have costed is on the trip page, and the rest of the board is under day trips from London Stansted. Founders pay £19 a year for the lot.
