Is Prague an expensive city?
Compared to many popular cities in Europe, Prague is very cheap. Of course life got more expensive troughout the years and because the Czech Republic is joining the European Union in 2004, prices will keep rising. However you can still get around with a very small budget or life like a king if you have a bigger budget. A main meal can be obtained starting from 100 CZK (= approximately EUR, GBP, USD) and the so popular beer in the Czech Republc can easily be found for 20 CZK ((= approximately EUR, GBP, USD) per half liter glass but if you search really good even down to 12 CZK. However on the tourist track these prices are harder to find.
