European city breaks
Prague

GREAT FOR… THOSE ON A BUDGET

Prague is one of Europe’s cheapest cities – and one of its most spectacular too. Everything from its flat whites to its hotels are budget-friendly, leaving you plenty of cash to get under the skin of this city. Known as the ‘City of 100 Spires’ but boasting around 500, Prague has a history stretching back 1,000 years – all discoverable for free. Stroll the Charles Bridge, navigate the labyrinthine Jewish Quarter and admire the Church of St Nicholas. Finish with a coffee or wine (yes, that’s cheap too).

HOW TO GET THERE?

Fly from most UK airports (1 hour 55 minutes).

'THAT'S NOT MY BABY'
WOMAN'S OWN

'THAT'S NOT MY BABY'

Lying in the hospital bed, my husband Michael had tears of happiness in his eyes as he showed me a photo on his phone. 'Here she is,' he said proudly. 'This is our beautiful baby girl.'I stared at the photo and shook my head. 'No, that's not my baby,' I said. 'There must be a mistake.'It was August 2010 and I'd not long before had an emergency caesarean. I'd not had a chance to see Winnie when she arrived as she'd been whisked away for tests because she was nearly two months premature.
