Sightseeing & Tips.
Unlike for instance Paris where staying nourished alone can already cost you a livelihood, Prague is still considerably cheap but prices have been rising every year.
Although groceries are comparatively cheap, there are other things – for instance accommodation – that are just as expensive as in any other European country. Ever since the Czech Republic joined the European Union prices tend to adapt European standard.
One thing is for certain, though, the farer you get off-center, the cheaper you will get away. An example, order a beer in Prague city and pay three times as much as in the province – but the beauty of Prague will be enough of a consolation, right?
