In times of a recession-battered economy there are plenty of opportunities to save money when traveling to the Czech Republic, where you can enjoy everything Europe has to offer without the Euro! The Czech Republic uses the local currency—Czech Crown—offering unique experiences for $100 or less a day.Prague and other Czech cities offer discounted cards—the Prague Card, for example—providing public transport and free entry to over 50 of the best tourist attractions in Prague. A free walking tour through magnificent Prague starts in the Old Town Square and Astronomical clock, and follows to the Powder Tower, Wenceslas Square, National Museum, and Jewish Ghetto. There’s free entrance to most historical architecture, churches, art, shopping, markets, gardens and parks.
Prague offers accommodations at rates much lower than in other European countries. The centrally located three-star Hotel Cloister Inn has accommodation and free wireless Internet at $75 per night in Prague’s historical Old Town. A part of a monastery complex dating from medieval times, Cloister Inn Hotel’s property was once also used by the secret police.
The family restaurant Cerny Kohout Czech-inspired three-course menu showcases truly great cuisine just for $12!
Lovers of performing arts can experience the famous musical heritage of the Czech Republic at reasonable prices. Prague boasts a world-class music scene, with concerts, operas, and ballets performed throughout the year in the city’s famous theaters. Cheap tickets are available for afternoon concert performances at the National Theater, the Estates Theater and the Prague State Opera, with balcony seats going for as little as $5.
