New Year Celebration? 250,000 Foreigners

More than 250,000 foreign tourists should celebrate the New Year in the Czech Republic, Novinky.cz news server reports. There are around 90 thousand hotel beds in Prague and the no-vacancy rate now is about 99 percent, hotel owners calculated…

The question is, however, how many come for the atmosphere of Prague or Czech mountains and how many come because of cheap alcohol prices and for the possibility to celebrate drunk in the streets with bottles of champagne…

The prices in Prague are expected to skyrocket. Some of them did already.  A .3L glass of beer that normally costs 30 CZK (a little over 1 euro) might cost even 100 CZK (more than 3 euros), the Novinky.cz server reports.

I think I will celebrate at a party in a club in Brno. And when I wake up on January 1, I will only count eight work days to my Canary Islands vacation.
