Prague
The best time of year to visit Prague and the Czech Republic depends on what kind of weather you like and why you are planning your trip.
If you like warm weather and long days, the best time to go is late spring, summer, or early autumn. The weather in Prague is mild in the spring and fall, and warm to hot in the summer.
The late fall and winter in Prague are cold; rain and snow are prevalent throughout the Czech Republic. However, tourist crowds in Prague are sparse during the winter, particularly after Christmas and New Year’s in early January. Availability at hotels and hostels in Prague is usually best at that time of year, and prices are much lower than they are in the summer months.
If you decide to visit in the off-season, keep in mind that while tourist attractions in Prague are open year-round, many attractions in the rest of the Czech Republic are closed in the winter.
Other factors that can impact your decision of what time of year to visit Prague include festivals and events. The city comes alive with markets at Easter and Christmas, and on New Year’s Eve there are large celebrations and fireworks. In the spring, the annual music festival attracts visitors from all over the world. These are all good times to visit, but make sure to book your hotel and transportation early.
