Prague looks like a storybook and costs a fraction of Western Europe. Gothic spires, a medieval bridge, and a hilltop castle sit above winding lanes and famously cheap pubs.
Two to three days covers the old town, the castle, and plenty of atmospheric evenings — a group favorite for value.

Money-saving tips for Prague
- Order the local lager (Pilsner Urquell, Kozel) on tap — it’s often cheaper than soft drinks.
- Cross Charles Bridge and wander the old town at sunrise: no crowds, no cost, best photos.
- Eat at a pivnice or lunch “polední menu” rather than tourist-square restaurants — half the price, better food.
