Wonderland on Points | Credit Card Rewards & Budget Travel 166. Europe on a Budget: The BEST City for Major European Charm Without the Major Price Tag with @German.Samvel
In this episode of Wonderland on Points, we sit down with German Samvel to talk about his recent trip to Prague and why it’s quickly becoming one of the best budget-friendly destinations in Europe. German shares what surprised him most about the city, especially the incredible food scene, from traditional Czech dishes to one of the best tapas meals he’s ever had. We chat about what dinners actually cost, why two people can eat a full meal with drinks for under $35, and how Prague delivers major European charm without the major European prices.
We also dive into German’s favorite experiences, including paddle boating on the river, exploring Prague Castle, wandering through historic neighborhoods, and checking out the famous “mini Eiffel Tower” viewpoint. He talks through what it’s really like to get around the city, why it’s so easy for first-time visitors, what weather to expect in the summer, and how surprisingly comfortable the city is for English speakers.
Of course, we couldn’t resist talking points and miles. German shares his favorite welcome offer right now, why Prague is such a beginner-friendly city for award travelers, and the realities of flying intra-Europe “business class.” If you’re dreaming of a European weekend getaway that’s beautiful, affordable, and easy to book with points, this episode will put Prague firmly on your list.
