Guinness is cheapest in Prague!
Monday, April 2, 2007
A pint of Guinness is cheaper in Prague than Dublin, Budapest is the city to go for a bargain Big Mac and the price of a cappuccino will have coffee fans frothing in Rome.
But London, often condemned as an expensive place to stay, compares favourably with supposedly cheaper tourist destinations.
Prague is the cheapest place to enjoy a short break, with typical total costs of just £203.89.
In the Czech capital, you can find a Big Mac at £1.52, a typical threecourse meal at £6.64 and a coffee £1.11.
A pint of Guinness there costs just £2.34, compared with £3.14 in the drink's home city of Dublin.
The beer will set you back £4.44 in Paris and £2.95 in London.
But the French capital is bottom of the league of ten cities at £577.25.
Budapest comes second at £207.20 with London third at £266.99, beating cities such as Copenhagen, Dublin and New York.
The prices are based on typical charges a visit might encounter – such as a hotel stay, a cup of coffee, a three-course meal, a sightseeing bus tour and museum entry.
A spokesman for Co-op Travelcare, which carried out the research, said: 'This study indicates why cities in Eastern Europe have grown quickly in popularity with UK tourists – not only is there plenty to see but prices are keen.
'Contrary to what some people may believe, London actually looks pretty competitive, particularly if you're visiting from other parts of the UK.'
You would be wrong! I have two pairs of New Balance (one almost new; the others are my favorites) and an old pair of Nikes. They mostly see the floor of taverns, however...and football stadia...and tailgate parties...and (well, you get the picture.)
Those are walking shoes!

This summer...we’re all going to Prague!!!
Prague it is...8^)
It’s $8 for a six-pack where I live, and I still gladly pay it since the extra stout variety is my favorite beer. It may be time to move!
We’ll yeah, that’s what I use them for, although you COULD run in them if you wanted to.
Look, there is this basic rule that says that beer-drinking former offensive guards don’t run long distances very well. They can crash through your garage door as their genome is constructed to destroy things in short bursts of intense energy, but can’t chase the guy who stole your wallet more than 2 blocks.
Facts is facts...
