Pilsner Beer originated in the Czech town of Pilzen. Urquell is the most popular Pilsner beer. Very popular in Prague, very cheap, and absolutely highly recommended! There is also a brand called Butweiser (notice the slightly different spelling!). By the way, prices in Prague are very cheap, except lodging.....In my opinion, the most beautiful city in Europe.

My wife and I spent 3 days in Prague last May.Not only is the beer cheap, but so is the food. In many restaurants, a full meal of roast duck, dumplings, cabbage, bread and a couple of liters of great beer is about $8 to $10 per person.

Radegast, Pilsener Urquel, Budvar are all great beers. They are even better when you drink them in the most beautiful old square in the world!

Stay away from any and all taxis...they are ripoff artists.

Hotels are relatively expensive. However there is something to be said for Prague, when in the old Jewish quarter you can get a large pizza and two liters of beer each for approximately $4.50!

Beautiful ciy!

Good choice -- Praha. A rule of thumb that works almost anywhere is never buy something someone is trying to sell you (go get what you want instead). With rooms I recomend reserving a moderate room (from a guide book or list) and hunting for better before check-in. If you lock your luggage before wandering the streets for a room you'll be much happier and can cover more ground. There will be people waiting for you at the train station with pictures of rooms for rent in private homes, don't dismiss them and be sure to haggle before paying (after you are in the room to SEE it). I stayed in a clean dorm room style place just north of the square and across the road from the expensive ambassador hotel (student hotel, $35 for a double that could sleep 10!). Beer is great here and very cheap after vienna, london or paris. A reasturant meal is about $12 at the most with all the trimmings. Enjoy it while it is still there.

About a year ago I was in Prague for a week so the prices may have gone up of course, but If you wander up the hill across the river from the latin quarter or if you walk south a couple hundred yards of the latin quarter you can buy good beer for twenty cents, on the other hand if you really keep your eyes peeled you can find a lunch special like I did and eat a mountain of food and drink four or five beers for two and a half bucks. This is made a lot easier buy speaking German when ordering and not letting the Czechs hear you utter a word of English. Buy the way, I paid 12 bucks for Mozart's Marraige of Figaro and saw it performed in the same opera house he debuted it in.
