New research conducted by an investment platform has revealed where Brits could go in Europe this Easter break to enjoy pints costing less than £2 and a meal for two less than £35
New research has revealed one European destination where you could spend less than £2 on a pint this Easter.
According to investment platform Saxo, Prague in the Czech Republic takes the top spot as the cheapest city break this Easter, with a beer costing as low as £1.99 and a meal for two costing around £35. The Czech city will set you back around £132 in flights, accompanied by a three-night hotel stay for roughly £156, bringing the total trip to just over £328.
Prague is bisected by the Vltava River and is nicknamed the ‘City of a Hundred Spires’. In the Old Town visitors can explore the Square and admire colourful baroque buildings, Gothic churches and a medieval Astronomical Clock, which gives an animated hourly show.

One popular tourist destination in the city is Charles Bridge, which sits on the Vltava river. It is both amazing to look at and stand out. The bridge used to connect Prague’s Old Town to its Prague Castle and now is loved by visitors rom around the world.
Letná Park is another popular spot, offering breathtaking views over the city. The park features a giant kinetic sculpture of a moving metronome and also has a beer garden. Under the metronome, travellers will find Stalin Letná — a cultural centre that holds various events in summer, from film screenings to DJ performances.
It is also worth exploring Wenceslas Square, where travellers can soak up the history and shop. A lot of guided tours go from or to the square, and this is a great way to learn about the history of the square and the entire city. Flights to Prague from the UK can cost as low as £36 return, with Ryanair from London Stanstead.
The best time to visit the city is between June and August, when the average temperature sits between 15C and 25C. However, if you want to go to Prague for less money and when there are less crowds, head there between December to February.
Dan Squires, from investment platform Saxo said: “The Pound has strengthened about six per cent vs the Euro over the last two years – meaning UK holidaymakers are in a good position to get more Easter break for their hard-earned money. However, what the research shows is that some choices offer much better value than others. This is very similar to investing, where understanding valuations is just as important as spotting what’s fashionable.
“When it comes to paying for the Easter holiday, a flexible ISA is a brilliant way for savvy consumers to build a holiday fund and benefit from tax-free profits, that they can then withdraw cash from as needed, without losing any of that year’s ISA allowance.”
