Prague Prices

« Friends, greetings to everyone!
Here’s my report about the trip to Prague.
Short and informative)

Absolutely amazing!!!
Just incredible!

Prices for accommodation and food were simply excellent. We stayed in a great hotel on the 7th floor, with a balcony and a beautiful view. Everything was clean, tidy, and precise. I haven’t been in Europe for a long time, and after Asia, everything just seems super! For example, there’s a fan, and there’s toilet paper with a backup, and we even had a kettle))) Overall, everything was great. We booked at an average price for 3 days/2 nights for about $95, breakfast included.

Food.
We didn’t visit many cafes, but wherever we went, the food was just super delicious!
Huge portions, high-quality food, and there are tasty places on the streets as well.
Prices: Pizza 33cm - $5.50, 24cm - $3.50, pasta with shrimp - $6.50, pasta with garlic and cheese - $4.50, beer 0.5L (not draft) - $4.50.
On average, we spent around $17-20 for two, including beer.
And the main local sweet treat, which is sold on every corner – Trdelník! Starting price is $4-$7.

Beer.
In all bars and cafes, almost all beer is local. There are lagers and ales as well.
But we wanted to try local drafts. However, there weren’t many craft bars, only about 3-4 spots.
We went to one craft bar with 20 drafts. We tried a few different varieties. Everything was quite good, on par with what we've had at home)) Everything was excellent.

The city and atmosphere.
We really fell in love with the city! There’s a huge pedestrian area, all paved with cobblestones. Beautiful houses, Gothic-style churches, squares with musicians, live statues, and performing artists)))
There are many tourists, but it doesn’t feel rushed; everything is somewhat calm. The city is very clean, and everything is tidy.
There are practically no cars in the city center. The air is fresh, not polluted like in many other places.
By the way, I noticed that usual workers (janitors, builders, etc.) also seem to be enjoying their work and are respectful, like we tend to see at home. The cleanliness is ideal. Why am I mentioning this?
Because management here seems to be doing a great job. They allocate money, resources, and staff appropriately, all directed towards maintaining the environment instead of being pocketed like it often happens elsewhere, with promises to clear things up and nothing changing for weeks...

Prices in stores.
Prices for products are very reasonable. For instance, a 0.5L beer costs about $2.50. »

« I decided to write a separate post about prices in the Czech Republic. If you're planning a trip to Prague and wondering if $200 will be enough for food for two, this post is for you! I caught myself noticing that when I walk into a store, I see prices similar to those back home, but they need to be adjusted downwards by about a factor of 3, or rather, 2.8. It’s only cheaper, perhaps, beer, which can cost anywhere from $1 to $6 per bottle. A Caesar salad runs between $7 and $14.

Hot dishes in restaurants cost from $6 to $20 per serving, while goulash soup ranges from $2 to $11. For example, a serving of koleno could be anywhere from $12 to $20; however, the portion often weighs around 800 grams. A haircut can cost between $20 and $40, while a pedicure starts from $15.

Are the prices really like at home? You just need to divide them by 3. Coffee is from $2 and up, and tea, by the way, costs about the same, with beer in bars also having similar prices. Dinner for us usually comes out to $20-$25. And don’t forget to add a 10% tip. So, do the math! Well, $200 should be enough... »

« I absolutely love coming here over and over again. Each time, there are new places to discover! Just yesterday, I saw with my own eyes that there's a remarkable open-air dancing dome, which offers a breathtaking view! And it’s really worth the admission fee of $10 to get in. 😂😂😂 »

« Today I want to invite you to my favorite Prague. I was able to live here for some time.

I was amazed by the "transparent" tickets. Anyone who’s been to major cities would understand. Foreign indicators are just a single board for the entire branch. To figure out where to rush in the metro, you just need to look for the little person/dot on the map.

The panoramic tram windows and low-sleek salon will charm you in public transport, which operates like clockwork. Convenient schedules for every type of transport at each stop – with the indicated arrival time, time to the next stops.

Transport in Prague seemed to me a bit more expensive compared to other places, the single tickets are around $0.18 each, valid for 30 minutes. Hourly tickets are about $0.26, and a full day pass is about $1.07. A monthly pass is over $30. Tickets cover all types of transport.

The photo spot – between Vyšehrad and I.P. Pavlova, under that is the metro line! A stunning view below. On one side of the bridge, you can stroll, the other is for repairs.

In parks and historical places, there's public Wi-Fi! "I took the Karlova Bridge," you can write and send a photo on social media.

On the banks of the Vltava, you can "socialize" with swans! For lunch and dinner - many restaurants and pubs available.

After being to places where you could pay with a card everywhere, in Prague you'll be surprised by the minimum purchase amount of $1.30 to $2.20 for payment by card or bank commission fees.

I lived in Prague from October to December. The weather wasn’t bad, although someone loves only summer. In Prague, locals and tourists coexist like two parallel worlds. »

« One of the local highlights in Prague is the Dancing House 💃🏽. I had an amazing experience visiting the "Original" building, enjoying the whimsical design 😆.

Not everyone knows that you can go in and out anytime you wish 🤩. Here are some tips and secrets:
🟡 The Dancing House is an official structure, but on the top floor, there’s a Glass Bar 🍸 where you can enjoy panoramic views of the Charles Bridge and the Prague Castle. You can buy a drink there, and the prices are very reasonable:
💰 Beer - $1.60
💰 Cappuccino - $2.50
💰 Wine - $2.10
💰 Cocktails - $5.30
If you don’t want to buy a drink, you can still pay a small entrance fee of $4 to go up to enjoy the views, which can be much cheaper than a ticket to see another attraction 💰.

🟡 Don’t forget to check out the open-air viewing terrace in the adjacent building 😉.

🟡 Every Friday at the Dancing House, concerts take place - the orchestra plays music from famous films 🎵. These events are held weekly, with tickets priced at $31.

🟡 For art lovers, there's an exhibition by Josef Lada available up until April 1, 2018. On the 4th floor, you can find over 400 works of the Czech artist 🎨, accessible every day from 10:00 to 20:00 for a fee of $8.50.

If you're planning to visit Prague, definitely make time for this unique experience! 🌟 »

« Before winter, there was just a hint of autumn🍃 although winter hasn't really started yet, I'm hoping we won't get snowed in March😄 By the way, in Tesco, such a bouquet costs around $1. »

Part 1. How to save money?
▪️ To avoid being cheated in exchange offices, withdraw money directly from ATMs or use exchange offices on Politických vězňů 915/14 and compare rates.
▪️ To eat cheaper, turn off the main street and compare prices, the menu is always posted at the entrance.
▪️ To enter Zlatá Ulička for free, visit after 6 PM instead of the usual 10 USD fee.
▪️ To see the view for free, instead of 4 USD to get on the rooftop of the House of the Dancing House, you can grab a glass of wine at the bar on that same rooftop.
▪️ To check out the castle and learn about the sights for free, take an audio guide.

Part 2. How to avoid unnecessary expenses?
▪️ Always greet your entry to a restaurant (otherwise, you risk staying hungry).
▪️ Always leave a tip.
▪️ Never eat the snacks they bring you.

Part 3. How to avoid fines?
▪️ Don’t cross the road on red (pedestrians get fined too).
▪️ Always buy a ticket for public transport and validate it right when you enter.
And in other countries, listen to the girls! 👇🏼

Are you looking to save or just taking a broad vacation? »

« Incredible Vacation offers in Czechia: hotels from $8/day, beer from $1.50/pint, spring – on the house. Medieval streets, world-famous beer, and red roofs bathed in spring sunshine. Czechia, especially Prague, can melt the heart of even the most indifferent know-it-alls among travelers. And rightly so, as it’s hard to find such a blend of cultural and gastronomic delights at such reasonable prices anywhere else. »

« Prague looks even more beautiful from above. And the magnets are just 1 euro. The cheapest in Prague!! »

« We visited the Prague Zoo today. The price is similar to what you’d find elsewhere: 200 CZK ($8.50), but our zoo doesn’t even compare. The vast territory, tons of open enclosures where you can walk among the animals, themed habitats recreating tropical environments, and so on. I don’t want to share everything at once, so I’ll post gradually. 🌍🐾 »

« You can capture such views from the tower at Charles Bridge. The price is 90 CZK per person (around $4), and it's worth it! 😊 »

« The Prague tour in an old cabriolet costs 1200 CZK (approximately $50). »

« Massage for 9€... Right on the hood, maybe?)) »

« Prague has an insane amount of tourists! I've never seen so many travelers anywhere else! The city is vibrant both day and night 😊. Prices vary a lot; at McDonald's or KFC, it's about 2-3 times more expensive than in other places. In one supermarket, you can find water for $1.50, while in another, the same water costs just $0.35. »

« Prague Metro. The price for a 15-minute ride is about $0.55. Honestly, I never figured out how to use it and ended up riding for free)) There’s no one checking at the entrances or exits, and very few people know English. Even the receptionist at my hotel could hardly give any advice. But it’s quite amusing to watch people rushing up the escalators, trying to save precious minutes)) »

« The gas prices seem quite similar to what I’m used to... The only difference is that they’re in crowns. So, you need to multiply by around 2.5. I definitely wouldn't want to fuel up here :) »

« 299 steps up on foot, and all for 1.50 dollars! We weren’t prepared for that, so we turned around and left. »

« Traveling anywhere in the world is not just about the place but also the people. The best tours are not the typical offers from street vendors – all for €10 – but rather experiencing Prague through the eyes of locals. May 13, 2015, started off routine, but wandering around the capital of the Czech Republic with new friends turned out to be unforgettable. The view of Prague from the rooftop of a new acquaintance's home is truly unique. 🌆✨ »

« Rafting is an exhilarating descent down a specially prepared channel with a licensed instructor. The price is €70 or less if the group has more than 4 people. Duration is 3.5 hours. »

« Prague... a very beautiful and interesting city! The architecture here is stunning ;) I did get a bit confused about the prices, though... they can be quite different for the same product, sometimes even twice as expensive, but that’s just how it is ;) The city is large, so it’s unrealistic to see everything, but in the end, I’m just happy I visited and I’ll definitely return there ♡ »

« Right in the center of Prague, you can feed a horse for just $1. »

« Here you'll find boutiques showcasing all the well-known trends from around the world. The prices are definitely not for kids, especially with the current exchange rates. 😅 »

« Donkeys in the center of Prague. You can feed them for 20 crowns (about $1). »
