How this is calculated
A US baseline of 90, 210 and 450 USD a day for the three tiers is multiplied by the price level of Czechia (0.5937986929896718, World Bank 2025) and by a city-size factor of 1.15, then rounded to the nearest 5 dollars. Local amounts use the World Bank exchange rate of 21.882 CZK to the dollar, rounded to two significant digits.
These are modeled estimates, not quoted prices. Read the full formula on the methodology page.

Where the money goes
Across the three tiers, the difference comes mostly from lodging and how often meals are eaten at restaurants versus cheaper options. The budget tier of $60 a day, or $420 over a week, generally covers a hostel or basic room, simple food, and public transport, while the mid-range figure of $145 a day, or $1,015 over a week, allows for better lodging and regular restaurant meals. The luxury tier of $305 a day, or $2,135 over a week, adds more comfortable hotels, taxis, and paid attractions without daily restrictions.
January, November, and December are the cheapest and quietest months to visit, matching the lowest visit scores of the year. Travelers aiming to stay near the budget tier of $60 a day will generally find the best value in this off-season window, though all figures here remain estimates rather than fixed prices.
Cheapest months by climate demand: Jan, Nov and Dec.
