Enjoy a Spiritual Break with Cheap Flights to Prague

The city of Prague offers visitors the perfect mix of medieval grandeur with the cosmopolitan atmosphere of city cafes and street bars. Well if you’re more about the former, then staying in a renovated monastery should be perfect.

This summer, if you are jetting off on cheap flights to Prague with Jet2.com then why not spend your time at the Augustine, where the formerly robe-clad residents have been replaced by similarly clad guests.

There was a time when it was monks gracing the hallways, now it is guests roaming around or heading to the “bijou basement spa”.

“Thought has gone into every detail”

In an article for the Times Online, Tom Chesshyre described how calming and beautiful the hotel is.

“Our room feels as though thought has gone into every detail — Olga Polizzi, the renowned designer and sister of Sir Rocco Forte — is responsible for the interiors. There are stylish chairs with V-shaped backs next to amber lights on sidetables on which the works of Dostoevsky and books of love poems are placed just so.

“The ceilings are high and, this being a former monk’s cell, the walls thick, so there’s no worries about noise. After a day’s sightseeing — the Augustine is just below Prague Castle — the downstairs Brewery Bar, with its flickering candles and sense of (monastic) peace, is a great place to relax.”

So, if you’re saving with cheap flights to Prague from Jet2.com, why not splash out on a stay at the opulent Augustine?
