21 Budget-Friendly Countries Where Luxury Experiences Don't Cost a Fortune
13. Czech Republic: Fairytale Grandeur Beyond Prague's Buzz

While Prague itself offers stunning beauty at better value than Paris or Rome, the entire Czech Republic is a treasure trove for affordable elegance. Indulge in rejuvenating stays at historic spa towns like Karlovy Vary or Mariánské Lázně. Explore fairytale castles like Český Krumlov (staying nearby for less), and enjoy hearty, high-quality food and world-famous beer without wincing at the bill. You can experience grand concert halls, ornate hotels, and charming medieval towns, achieving a classic Central European luxury feel for considerably less.
