Flight to city filled with theme parks costs less than Alton Towers
Prague is not only known for its cheap beer, great food and historic architecture, it's also perfect for thrill seekers to explore this summer
A day at a theme park can be a thrilling experience, but the costs of entry fees, food and travel can quickly add up, making it an expensive outing here in the UK.
If you're considering splurging on a theme park adventure, why not consider one a bit further afield?
Prague, known as one of Europe's most affordable capital cities, offers more than just cost-effective fun.
For those seeking adrenaline-pumping excitement this September, Wizz Air is offering return flights for as low as £36.99 - a staggering £32 less than a single pay-on-the-day ticket to Alton Towers.
While savvy theme park enthusiasts may find cheaper tickets online, a trip to Prague still presents an unbeatable deal with its plethora of attractions. The city boasts cheap beer, delectable cuisine, historic architecture, vibrant nightlife and a buzzing music scene.
Prague truly comes to life during the summer months with festivals, live music, floating beer gardens and other events scattered throughout the city. As autumn approaches, a wine festival engulfs the city, and come winter, the Christmas markets (including one of Europe's largest in Old Town Square) illuminate the streets, adding a magical touch to Prague.
The city also boasts LunaPark, a seasonal adventure park complete with rollercoasters, a shooting range, and an observation wheel. With just under two hours' flight time from London, Prague is the perfect destination for a quick city break or short stay.
