Personal spending habits:
Since Prague is located in Central Europe, is was the perfect place to travel from to countries such as Austria, Slovakia, Poland, Germany and Hungary. Also, travelling by train under 26 gives right to a discount.
Accomodation and food is cheaper than at home, although the prices are higher in high season.
Nightlife including dinners, movies etc. is so much cheaper than at home, that it is tempting to do it a lot.
