5-day itinerary
Prague on a Budget in 5 Days
Golden City Magic Without Breaking the Bank
Prague dazzles with Gothic spires, cobblestone lanes, and a castle-crowned skyline that feels straight out of a fairy tale. Best of all, it remains one of Europe's most affordable capitals, letting you eat, drink, and explore like royalty for very little.

Afternoon: Stroll Old Town Square, admire the Astronomical Clock, and grab a trdelník from a street vendor.
Evening: Enjoy a hearty svíčková (beef sirloin) dinner at a traditional Czech hospoda for under €8.
Morning: Head up to Prague Castle early to beat the crowds and enjoy free views from the courtyard.
Afternoon: Wander the charming Malá Strana neighbourhood and cross Charles Bridge for photos.
