Since Prague is located in Central Europe, is was the perfect place to travel from to countries such as Austria, Slovakia, Poland, Germany and Hungary. Also, travelling by train under 26 gives right to a discount. Accomodation and food is cheaper than at home, although the prices are higher in high season. Nightlife including dinners, movies etc. is so much cheaper than at home, that it is tempting to do it a lot. Travel, Nightlife: was more expensive than at home. Overall, Telephone: was the same price as at home. Food, Housing: was less expensive than at home.
Personal comments:
I was aware of the expenses I had. I kept a little book which listed most of my expenses, to keep track of where my money went. Prague is not the most expensive place to live, but travelling does cost some extra money. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

There are expensive touristplaces in the center (like restaurants) but it's possible to find cheaper ones a bit further from the center. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

Dont eat around the city center, everything is way to expensive because of tourist reasons. Find your way out to Praha 3 and beyond where you will find authentic food that is cheap but quality. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself
