Where this budget breaks
- The same beer is $2.60 or $6.60 — 55 CZK in a Žižkov hospoda, 100-160 CZK on Old Town Square. One street off the square halves everything.
- Airport: 46 CZK or 200 CZK. Trolleybus 59 + Metro A needs a regular 90-minute ticket; the Airport Express is 200 CZK and your transit pass is not valid on it.
- Trdelník is a souvenir, not lunch. It's not Czech food and locals don't eat it — 70-90 CZK away from the Clock, 200+ filled beside it.
- Watch the couvert. Tourist-zone restaurants add a bread basket you didn't order and push bottled water. Decline both; tap water is fine.
- These are summer prices. July-August rooms already run 30-60% above shoulder season — and Friday/Saturday nights add another 15-25%.
- The best stuff is free: Charles Bridge at sunrise, the Clock's show from the square below, Letná's beer-garden view, Petřín hill, Vyšehrad ramparts.
The one thing not on the receipt
Insurance: the line most city-breakers skip
One pickpocketed phone or one clinic visit costs more than this entire 3-day budget. SafetyWing's Nomad Insurance covers trips like this from around $1.50/day — sign up before or during the trip, cancel anytime.
