A vacation in Prague is a European vacation, so it may not be considered cheap. However, when comparing Prague to other European capitals like London, Rome, or Paris, it's relatively more affordable.
Major expense items:
Hotel accommodation: On average, a double room in a 3-4 star hotel costs 55 EUR per night (including breakfast). More budget-friendly options can be found in remote areas for around 40 EUR. Therefore, the minimum cost of a five-day vacation in Prague is approximately 200-275 EUR per person.
Public transport: A 24-hour ticket for the metro, streetcar, and bus costs CZK 110.
Food: Before your Prague vacation, it's a good idea to read reviews from experienced tourists. They can recommend cozy restaurants and affordable breweries in the city center. The average cost of a meal is 120-250 CZK, and a mug of beer typically costs 25-40 CZK.
Excursions: It's advisable to budget at least 3,000 CZK for sightseeing because the Czech capital offers an abundance of interesting places to explore.
In total, a five-day vacation for two in Prague will cost approximately 14,000 CZK. Whether that's considered a lot or a little depends on your personal finances.
