The arrival of more sunshine ahead of summer is no doubt leading millions of Brits to consider where they can soak in some rays while enjoying a cheaper pint than they would at home with one city just two hours away from the UK being an underrated choice.
With the cost of living crisis driving pint prices through the roof back home, millions of Brits will be looking to bag a bargain in bars and pubs in continental Europe this summer. According to the travel website World Wide Wilbur, there are plenty of options out there for those who fancy high quality beers for a fraction of the price in the UK. Tucked in the south of Czechia is the small town of Cesky Krumlov, known for its Gothic and Baroque architecture that has been designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1992.
But the town also has an incredible offering for those Brits who fancy an underrated holiday destination where they can swap beaches for historic surrounds. World Wide Wilbur, which revealed the cost of pints in a host of destinations, said a crisp beer can set you back as little as 23 Koruna (79p).
“While not quite #1 for cheapness, the Czech Republic is #1 for quality in my book,” the website said of the country. “I love a Czech dark lager above all else.
“Staropramen, Krusovice, Budvar, Kozel, I love ’em all. If you only visit Prague, you’ll pay a lot more than a buck. Get out into the countryside and the prices drop quick. I had a pint of Eggenberg in a plastic cup at the top of the castle in Cesky Krumlov for just 23 Koruny.”
The town also offers an enticing castle, a historic town centre as well as shopping districts, museums and other attractions for people during their visit.
Cesky Krumlov Castle is the second largest castle complex in the country and has panoramic views that can be enjoyed by anyone visiting the town.
Brits travelling to the Czech Republic can fly into Prague from a number of major and regional airports across the UK before taking a train or bus to Cesky Krumlov. A journey from the Czech capital to the southern town typically takes about 2.5 to 3 hours.
Visitors can take direct trains from Prague to Cesky Krumlov or change at Ceske Budejovice with the latter taking about as long as the bus journey.
If you are carrying heavy luggage with you, consider taking the bus as they typically offer more space according to several travel websites.
Among the UK airports that offer direct flights to Prague’s Vaclav Havel Airport include, but is not limited to:
