The Budget Report 2008 blah blah blah... PDF Print E-mail
For everyone getting to the fair city early it would be handy to know how much you should be spending, mainly so you can know when you are getting ripped off to the extreme.  Thanks to a buoyant economy prices are starting to rise toward Western European levels, but nowhere near parity yet.  Since I started going to Prague in January 2007 prices have got higher, but are still highly affordable no matter where you are coming from. On an average day in Prague (I have yet to experience this so called average day, as the company I keep ensure that it is frequently far from it) you should budget around 600-700CKZ, not including accommodation.  Public transport is very affordable and food is good and inexpensive.  Here is a rough estimate of prices...
Lunch (special menu) - 80-120 Kc Dinner - 150-200 Kc Public transport tickets - 18 and 26Kc Water - 30-40 Kc Beer - 25-35 Kc Wine - 35-50 Kc Cover fees to clubs - 0 - 150 Kc.  Good nightclubs* are Acropolis, Lucerna, Roxy and Chateau.   Prague has a plethora of history, museums, sights and sounds, and never are they more obvious than during the summer.  Some of the places you might want to visit are Prague Castle, the Soviet Museum, the National Museum (at the top of Whencelas Square), The Clock Tower (after Niagara Falls my biggest disappointment in life, but worth seeing just so you understand the feeling of deflation) and Old Town Square.  Charles Bridge is my favorite, and is hiving with tourists in the summer.  Its best taken in at night around 10pm (although it is worth flying to Prague to walk over it in the snow in the winter - superb).  I haven't really gone overly touristastic (not a big touristy person) but it is a wonderful city! Also, if you go to the Old Town end of Charles Bridge and look at the statue there while facing it from the road straight on it will give you a good giggle.  Priceless, I assure you. *I promise nothing by the way, its a case of each other their own.  If they are rubbish come to me and I will tell you who to blame.
