Prague

Heading with the mrs at the end of January for 3 nights. Any recommendations for things to do while over there. Not into nightclubs

I wouldn't bother with nightclubs

If either of ye like drink,drugs and brazzers ye're sorted

In fairness it is a nice city,when it's not jammed with tourists

Nothing's 100% booked yet, was her idea to go to Prague. Definitely booking some place over the weekend, if not Prague where else would people recommend? Less than 3 hours flight and nowhere expensive.

Suspect the cost of flights might be a bit prohibitive

Prague is great for a weekend of wining and dinning.
Picturesque city and very cheap.

Go to Charles bridge early in the morning to avoid the crowds. John Lennons peace wall is near it. Prague Castle , St Vitus's Cathedral all worth a look. Great views of Prague there also and up on Petrin Hill. You can climb the observation tower there for a small fee for the best view. Went to Museum of Communism and though it was brilliant. Found a lovely little bar on the way down to Charles bridge from the Old town on the left. Very cheap and only locals there. Wouldn't rush back to Prague myself but nice to have seen it.

Prague is a great spot as is Krakow. Two very similar citie is. My preference would be Krakow. Just remember that the end of January is one of the coldest times of the year in central Europe.

There's more than likely to be a hell of a lot of snow (we're talking depths of feet not inches). Bring warm clothes & plenty of waterproof winter clothing with you, such as coats, hats, scarves and gloves ...oh and hill walking shoes if you have them.

Don't get me wrong as long as you're well wrapped up then you should really enjoy the Bohemian capital and it is really beautiful in winter. It's a different kind of cold to Ireland. The air is dry and crisp.

The upside to visiting Prague in January is there'll be only a few tourists kicking about.

Regards click and go. You can book flights and a hotel yourself for the same money if not for less. Flights on the last Friday to Monday at the end of January for €112 rtn each. If you can afford to throw another €90 on top of your budget then I recommend staying here: http://www.booking.com/hotel/cz/u-medvidku.en-gb.html?label=gen173nr-1DCAEoggJCAlhYSDNiBW5vcmVmaFCIAQKYAS64AQnIARHYAQPoAQGoAgM;sid=582c365571f09c50385d5c31bbdd4a2b;checkin=2017-01-27;checkout=2017-01-30;room1=A,A;matching_block_id=7763701_89028521_0_1_0;m_occ=2

I stayed here previously and highly recommend it. They have a fantastic restaurant and make their own beer. Slap bang in the middle of the city as well.
