5 Day Prague Budget Itinerary
Stretch five days in Prague with free viewpoints, tram-friendly neighborhoods, low-cost beer halls, and one affordable day trip. This budget plan avoids overpaying around Old Town Square while still covering the castle, Charles Bridge, Mala Strana, Letna, Vysehrad, and local food stops. Built for backpackers and value-conscious couples, the itinerary uses public transport, free-entry timing, and smart neighborhood choices. Fork it to swap paid interiors, hostel locations, and Cesky Krumlov versus Kutna Hora costs.
