Prague on a budgetShowHide
A day in Prague costs £30.25 per person on the ground on a budget, before the flight, eating and drinking at the cheaper end of what places charge. At typical prices it is £35.18, and a day that does not watch the pennies runs to £55.57. The food and drink prices are real menu prices we read in Prague on 22 Oct and 26 Oct, turned into pounds at the day's exchange rate, not guesses.
