Hello,

This weekend, I will be going to Prague for the first time. I don't speak the language and I'm trying to pick up some basic phrases and whatnot. I've been to other countries in Europe so I have an idea of how things work, however, I have some specific questions that weren't answered in search tool.

I'm going to be in Prague Feb. 3, going to Dresden and coming back to Prague Feb. 6 to 10. Given that I'll be in Prague for 4 days, how much is a reasonable amount of money to bring? Specifically, I won't be shopping excessively nor eating in fancy restaurants. I want to be able to have enough money to be able to eat at the local pubs/cafes, grab some food from street vendors and a bottle of water here and there. Oh, and maybe perhaps some small trinkets as souvenirs but that's about it. I was thinking of $500 CDN (8750 or something like that in CZK.) Is that too much or too little? I travel student/budget style with a backpack so I'm not going to look like Mr. Fancy_pants.
