Let’s face it – when you are thinking about planning your next vacation, be it for a weekend or a few weeks, you probably don’t have Prague at the top of your list. In fact, you might even know where Prague is (or how to pronounce it!).

But, if you are interested in a vacation that is a little off-beat, and different than your usual “week in the sun” type of vacation, cheap flights to Prague make this a perfectly reasonable alternative to the same old vacation.

Prague is one of the new up-and-coming tourist destinations in Eastern Europe. Once closed behind the Iron Curtain, it is now open to the West and is growing at a rapid pace.

For the past decade, Prague, the capital of the Czech Republic, has been a popular tourist destination for the British, particularly those who are looking for a mini-break, or 3-day weekend. 

Because of this, there are now many cheap flights to Prague as the city takes advantage of its new popularity and welcomes all tourists.

Prague is one of the most interesting and historical cities in Europe, due in part because of the years it spent as part of the Soviet Bloc.

Because it was off-limits to western visitors for so many years, there are parts of Prague that are still somewhat old-fashioned, but other parts that are incredibly modern and embracing of western culture.

While in Prague, you have to visit the Prague Castle which is located on the River Vltava. The architecture is a blend of both Renaissance and Gothic and shows the old Christian culture that survived even throughout the Russian occupation.

Once in Prague, it is easy to get around by using the rail system that can take you to other parts of the Czech Republic, or throughout Europe. A vast tram system is also available, meaning that you should never have to hire a car while in Prague.

There are many cheap flights to Prague that are available, flying into Ruzyne Airport from many airports. This once expensive city is now extremely affordable for most visitors, both in terms of flight and lodging.

Seeing the sights and experiencing some of Prague’s finest cuisine is also affordable, in part because of the drive to bring tourism back to this part of the world.

Take advantage of this budding and welcoming city and spend a weekend visiting Prague, Czech Republic.
