Maximum Fun, Minimum Spend: A Budget Guide to Prague Meetups

You don't need to spend big to have a great time in Prague.
The city's charm is free. The beer is cheap.
Here are our top ideas for an affordable hangout.

By Midway@ Team

A great meetup is about the company, not the cost.
And in Prague, you can have a world-class experience for just a few crowns.
Let's get creative and save some money.

Top 5 Budget Meetup Ideas

1. Walk Across the Charles Bridge at Sunrise

The Vibe: Absolutely magical and completely free. Before the tourist hordes descend, having the bridge almost to yourselves as the sun comes up over the city is an unforgettable experience. Grab a coffee from a kiosk afterwards.

2. Picnic in Letná Park

The Vibe: The best view of the bridges. Grab some snacks and cheap beer from a supermarket and head to Letná Park. Find a spot on the grass by the Metronome and just chill. There's also a great beer garden here.

3. Explore Vyšehrad Castle

The Vibe: Less crowded than Prague Castle, but just as historic. The grounds are free to enter. You can wander through the park, see the beautiful Basilica, and get amazing views of the Vltava River.

4. Wander around the John Lennon Wall

The Vibe: A colorful, ever-changing piece of living history. It's a vibrant symbol of peace and freedom. Take some photos, read the messages, and soak in the creative energy. Located in the charming Malá Strana district.

5. Go to a Farmer's Market

The Vibe: A real slice of local life. The Naplavka market on the riverbank (Saturdays) or the one at Jiřího z Poděbrad square are fantastic. You can just browse, or get some amazing, cheap street food for lunch.

Is your cheap date also a fair date?

A picnic in Letná Park is a great idea. But not if it takes your friend an hour to get there from the other side of the city.
Use midway@ to find a great park, bridge, or market that's easy for everyone to reach.
Affordable should also be fair.
