    What budget do you have?
    Where would you be able to fly from?

    Prague or Krakow? Great places and cheap when you are there.

    Prague £150 return for both of you from East Midlands - Hotel Club or Denisa £130 on Easyjet Hotels. Denisa is OK (I've stayed there) and handy for Metro and Airport. Club looks OK and is not too far from the centre. You can easily reach either hotel by bus (Denisa) or bus & Metro (Club) if you really want to budget. Beer (Or wine) and food are very cheap, and there's heaps to see. Make sure you visit an Albert Supermarket - The most bizarre range of jaffa cakes you could ever wish for!

    What dates do you get £150 for?As they need to be back at the latest 25th lunchtime,so the flights on the 25th are to late back.

    22nd-24th comes out at £232
    I would opt for Ibis Wenceslas Square Hotel Prague 3 stars £120 bed & breakfast
