What do you think of my budget for Prague?

I will be in Prague for 4 months (21.5 weeks) studying abroad starting in February then the left over is for a month of travel. I was wondering if I could get a little feed back on my budget for the 4 months? My Budget excludes local transportation and accommodation because it is included in my program fee and I also purchased my airfare already so that is excluded as well.

My calculations are based on the conversion rate of 19.22 CZK to 1 USD. anything that has est next to it is estimate meaning, I have no idea what it may cost so I guess it is a guesstimate. I hope this is organized enough.

food est. $1725 (33,155CZK)(107.81 per a week, $5 (96czk) a meal) mix grocery and eating out.


travel total $565 (estimated 5 outside CZ trips $150 assuming budget flights are $30)
(7 trips inside the CZ $70 assuming it is 200 CZK per round trip by train and bus as stated on teflworldwideprague.com)
Hostel stays $480 12 days total $40 a day (768CZK)

toiletries $27 (519CZK) (all toiletries est) 2 toothpastes $5 (96CZK),Shampoo $2 (38CZK),bathroom cleaning supply's + dish washing detergent $20 (384CZK). Note: I am bring deodorant, soap and razorblades.

going out Total 608.45 (11,694CZK) $28.30 per week (544CZK) 2 clubs a week $10.50 (200CZK)"tefl" 5 beers per week $7.80 at $1.56 a beer (30CZK), and $10 (192CZK) for other things like food, museums, and so on...

Haircut $10 (192CZK)

So the the 4 month total will be $2,957 (59,791 CZK) leaving $3,043 (58,486 CZK) left for the month of travel afterwords.

With this budget it will be nice living in Prague!!
Enjoy! I envy!!!

thank you!

$40 per day? Budget like that and you might get an extra month.

Sounds like fun.

your budget is fine...just spent 4 days in prague..if you shop at the supermarkets and dont eat out in the center it is a very cheap city...just need to know where to go...make friends that are local and you will be set
