Visiting Bratislava and Prague on a budget.

Wondering how much a trip to Prague actually costs? During my 5-day solo trip to Prague, I tracked every expense, right down to street food, cafés, and souvenirs. In this post, I’m sharing exactly how I spent just €141 in Prague, including budget accommodations, food costs, and free attractions. Whether you’re backpacking through Europe, traveling solo, or just visiting Prague on a tight budget, this full daily cost breakdown in Czech koruna (CZK) and euros will help you plan your trip.

Full disclaimer: As always, I didn’t include my tips or donations in any of the costs I’ve shown because that would vary by person but yes, you should tip the tour guides for the “free tours” and provide donations if an entry fee is not required.
