Overview
Czech Republic, especially Prague, is moderately priced by Western European standards but costs have risen noticeably in recent years due to tourism demand and inflation. Food and drink remain genuinely affordable, with excellent local beer among the cheapest in Europe, while accommodation in Prague city center and tourist attraction fees represent the largest daily expenses. Costs outside Prague drop significantly, making regional travel a smart choice for budget-conscious visitors.
Notes
Eat and drink where locals do — restaurants just a few streets off the main tourist squares in Prague charge a fraction of the price for identical quality food and beer. Using the efficient tram and metro network instead of taxis will also save considerable money throughout your stay.
