Best Time to Visit

The best time to visit Prague largely depends on your preferences for weather, budget, events and crowd levels. Also, it depends on your personal preferences and what you want to experience during your trip. Here's a breakdown of the different seasons:

Spring (March–May): Spring is a wonderful time to visit Prague, with blooming flowers, mild temperatures, and a lively atmosphere. The Easter markets add charm to the city in March and April. Tourist numbers increase in May as the weather warms up, and prices begin to rise toward peak season.

Summer (June–August): Summer is peak tourist season, with warm weather, long daylight hours, and bustling streets. Outdoor cafés and beer gardens are popular, but major attractions like Prague Castle and Charles Bridge are packed. This is the busiest and most expensive time to visit, with large crowds and high accommodation costs.

Fall (September–November): Fall offers cooler temperatures, beautiful autumn colors, and fewer tourists. It’s an excellent time for sightseeing, visiting castles, and exploring Prague’s beer festivals. Tourist numbers drop after September, and hotel prices become more affordable.

Winter (December–February): Winter in Prague is cold, with occasional snow creating a magical atmosphere, especially at the Christmas markets in Old Town Square. The city is quieter outside of the holiday season, making it ideal for exploring historical sites without crowds. Prague is less crowded in winter, except during Christmas and New Year’s, when prices temporarily rise. This is the cheapest time to visit outside of holiday weeks.
