Advantages: Beautiful architecture and culture. Good beer.

Disadvantages: Now very expensive, quite a lot of crime.

Prague, its well worth a visit, but not the cheap bargain it was 5 years ago.

During the last year the British pound has lost around 25% of its value to the Czech Koruna (Crown). So suddenly Prague is an expensive place for British tourists. This combined with the usual higher prices of a capital city mean its now no cheaper than any other European city.

British stag and hen parties used to flock to Prague, on cheap flights and for the cheap alcohol, this is no longer true, and many that do come are shocked by the prices.

If they did travel to one of the regional cities, they would find prices are around 50% less, Brno and Plzen may well become the next stag and hen party capitals!

Also be aware of the sex industry in Prague, its run by criminals and gangs and you should keep away from it.

Finally dont come during the summer, its hot, crowded (you can hardly walk over the Charles Bridge) a better bet is late spring or Winter for some snow!

Summary: Visit Prague, but be aware of the disadvantages.
