Read moreThe best time to visit Czech Republic is either during spring (early April to mid- May) or autumn (late September to mid- November). Generally, these shoulder seasons can be relied upon for mild temperatures and thinner crowds.
In spring, the days are long, sunny and often quite dry until late May. Temperatures can vary anywhere between 9-20°C, so be sure to pack clothes that will keep you both warm and cool. However, by sticking to destinations such as Prague, Pilsen and Český Krumlov, you can rest assured that you’ll neither be too hot nor too cold. May is the busiest and most beautiful month of the year, with flowers in full bloom and festivals like Prague Spring Festival and the Czech Beer Festival taking place.
After a hot summer, the warm weather (14–19°C) tends to last until the beginning of October. This is a great time to relax in old spa towns like Karlovy Vary and explore ancient forests in West Bohemia. Autumn also sees important events like Dvorak’s Prague Festival and wine harvest festivals in several locations. Beyond mid-October, you’ll notice a sharp drop in temperature and more frequent rainy days – so make sure you take a raincoat and lots of layers.

Monthly weather and travel tips for Czech Republic
If you don’t mind the short days and biting cold, visiting the Czech Republic in January can be a rewarding experience. First of all, the streets in major cities like Prague and Brno will be relatively crowd-free after the Christmas holidays. This means you can expect to get into top attractions without much of a wait, and take advantage of discounted rates. However, be mindful of closures on 1 January, which is taken as a national holiday.
The Winter Festival of Bohemia – a celebration of opera, ballet and classical music – takes place over the first few days of the month in ornate opera houses around the capital, including The National Theater and the famous Dvorak Hall of the Prague Rudolfinum. You could also time your visit to coincide with Three Kings’ Day on 6 January, which brings the Christmas season to a close with carol-singing, bell-ringing and gift-giving to the poor. But don’t underestimate the cold – average temperatures of -1°C mean you’ll definitely need to bring a heavy waterproof coat and lots of warm layers.

By February, snowfall is to be expected anywhere at any time. Temperatures won’t have changed much from the sub-zero lows of January – and there won’t be much in the way of sunshine – so bringing warm winter clothing is essential. If you’re an outdoorsy type, February is arguably the best time to go skiing or snowboarding in the Czech Republic, with ski resorts such as Špindlerův Mlýn and Keilberg catering to beginners and intermediates. And if skiing isn’t your thing, then soaking in the hot springs of spa towns like Karlovy Vary and Marianske Lazne (both short day trips from Prague) might be a more tempting alternative.
The big event of the month is Bohemian Carnevale, or ‘Masopust’ as it’s also known. Celebrating the start of Lent, the carnival involves masked marches, live music, and all-day drinking, eating and dancing. It takes place over five days in Prague and other destinations across the region of Bohemia, such as Český Krumlov. Besides this, Prague is also host to The International Festival of Wind Orchestras on varying dates in mid-February.

With the arrival of Spring, smatterings of green begin to appear in the Czech countryside. That being said, you’ll still feel the chill well into the latter half of March, when temperatures can creep up to the 11°C mark during the day – and the higher altitude areas can still get plenty of snow. So don’t forget to pack a thick coat and jumper to keep you cosy – and your sunglasses for when the clouds occasionally part.
March also coincides with not one but two film festivals taking place in the Czech capital. Febiofest showcases new works by international film-makers, whereas the One World International Human Rights Film Festival screens documentaries concerning social issues, lifestyle and the environment. Both these festivals kick off in Prague before continuing in locations throughout the rest of the country.

Longer, warmer and sunnier days lead to a steady incline in tourist numbers throughout the month. But April showers are frequent in the Czech Republic – and snow isn’t entirely off the cards – so it’s still a good idea to bundle up when exploring outdoors. Temps can reach up to 15°C towards the end of the month, with lows rarely dipping below 5°C.
Easter weekend also occurs in April, culminating in family games and activities on Easter Monday. This is a great time to go souvenir hunting in Prague’s Easter markets, and try international food at the annual Street Food Festival. Alternatively, you could visit at the end of the month for the ancient Pálení čarodějnic, or ‘Burning of Witches’ festival, which takes place on hilltops across the country on 30 April. Today, Czech people gather to watch witch-like effigies burning on bonfires, while enjoying hearty food and family-friendly activities.

May is the busiest month of the Czech Republic’s calendar year. It brings warmer weather, blossoming flowers and a string of major festivals to Prague. You can wear a light jacket or just a t-shirt on the warmest days, but be prepared for spells of cooler weather – especially in high-altitude regions like Pilsen.
A cluster of high-profile events kicks off with the Prague National Marathon in early May. You can take part yourself or cheer with the crowd, then hang around for the onset of the year’s highlight – Prague Spring Festival, which runs from mid-May to the beginning of June. This international music festival showcases the best in classical music at different theatres and churches across the capital. It overlaps with the theatre and comedy shows of Prague Fringe Festival, the Czech Beer Festival, and Prague Food Festival around the last weekend of May.

If you want to enjoy warm weather without the crowds, then visiting the Czech Republic in June is your best bet. May’s festival crowds will have left, and the influx of student backpackers are yet to arrive. Temperatures hover around 15ºC during the day, so you can comfortably explore beautiful cities like Brno, Olomouc and Prague – or sit out in beer gardens and take in the scenery. However, rain and thunderstorms can roll in at any time, so it’s best to keep a light waterproof jacket on you, just in case.
Compared with May, June is a relatively festival-free month in Prague after the Spring Festival winds down. Nevertheless, there’s plenty going on elsewhere, giving you several great reasons to explore beyond the capital. In Český Krumlov, the medieval-themed Celebration of the Rose takes place over three days, with costumed parades, traditional music, street theatre and fencing duels. It also hosts the Festival of Chamber Music on the grounds of its spectacular Renaissance castle at the end of the month.

The Czech Republic’s hottest month of the year falls in the middle of high season, so you can expect soaring temperatures and lots of other tourists in places like Prague and Brno. That’s why July is the perfect time to explore the Czech Republic’s less crowded destinations like Ostrava, Telč and Krkonose National Park – plus all the glorious natural beauty found in between. Daytime highs typically reach the mid-twenties, but can occasionally creep beyond the 30ºC mark. So sunglasses and sunscreen are essential items.
National holidays are taken on 5 and 6 July, so expect some shops to be closed. Local events take place all over the country, some lasting a few days, while others go on for weeks. Český Krumlov's three-week-long International Music Festival features classical music concerts and live acts spanning folk, soul and jazz. Colours of Ostrava is a multi-genre music festival headlined by international acts, while Karlovy Vary International Film Festival draws huge numbers and well-known movie stars to watch over 200 new films shown in the first week of July.

August is a hot and humid month, with daytime temperatures sitting in the mid-twenties and highs pushing past 30ºC at times. Expect crowds in Prague and other popular destinations around Bohemia, so for a quieter escape your safest bet is to explore the eastern region of Moravia. Home to Brno, the second most populated city in the Czech Republic, the historical region is peppered with beautifully preserved castles, churches and chateaux.
Time your visit right, and you could also experience one of many festivals held all over the Czech Republic during August. In Prague, there’s only a few days between the colourful parades of Pride Festival and the acrobatics, cabaret and comedy of the International Festival of New Circus and Theatre, which lasts until the end of the month. In Moravia, the two-week-long Moravian Castles Music Festival offers the chance to watch classical music concerts in medieval castles, and drink locally produced wine. In early August, Brno also plays host to the annual Motorcycle Grand Prix.

After three months of heat and humidity, September brings cooler temperatures and a lower risk of rain. It’s also much quieter, since many of the visiting backpackers, students and school groups have left. So, you won’t have to wait as long to get into top attractions in the major cities – and it won’t be uncomfortably hot, either.
The drier weather gives you a great reason to travel outside of Prague. Hiring a car is the easiest option, putting you within easy reach of spa towns like Karlovy Vary – famous for its mineral-rich hot springs and thermal spas – and national parks like Bohemian Switzerland National Park – known for its arching rock formation, Pravcicka Gate. Meanwhile, it’s wine harvest season in Moravia – celebrated in style with medieval-themed parades, jousting tournaments, live music and of course, wine tastings in the towns of Mikulov and Znojmo. Back in Prague, two weeks are given over to the classical works of Antonín Dvořák for the Dvořák Prague International Music Festival.

Autumn doesn’t hang around in the Czech Republic. First you’ll notice the changing colours of the leaves, then the morning frost, and by the end of the month temperatures as low as 5°C. However most days are warmer than this, with average highs reaching 11ºC. Take a waterproof jacket if you visit in October, as rainy days are more frequent.
Prague’s parks and gardens are bursting with deep autumn colours at this time of year. Spend the afternoon exploring them, before taking in the multi-hued canopy from the top of Petřín Lookout Tower. While you’re in the capital, soak up some culture at the Strings of Autumn Festival or Signal Light Festival, which sees Prague’s most famous landmarks spectacularly illuminated. The only major event in the national calendar is 28 October – the day Czechoslovakia (as it was known then) became independent in 1918 – which is taken as a national holiday.

In November, the chilly autumn weather gives way to much more wintry elements. But if you can brave temperatures of 1–5°C, this is a great time to take advantage of a quiet and romantic city break. Rain and snowfall are almost guaranteed, so be sure to bring waterproof clothing and a pair of sturdy boots.
But plenty of snow means plenty of picturesque scenery, especially in small towns like Kutna Hora, Karlovy Vary and Český Krumlov – all a couple of hours’ drive from Prague. The first day of the month is All Saints’ Day, so expect some closures wherever you are, while the final day marks the grand opening of the capital’s enchanting Christmas markets. Squares across the city fill up with timbered stalls selling traditional crafts, festive food and mulled wine. Speaking of wine, Český Krumlov celebrates its own wine festival on 11 November, held in honour of St. Martin.

By December, the Czech Republic has transformed into a winter wonderland. The days are colder, darker and snowier, but sparkle under a backdrop of magical Christmas markets in cities across the country. Wrap up in lots of layers to take the sting out of sub-zero temperatures – and warm yourself up with a glass of svařák (mulled wine) while browsing the stalls.
There are Christmas markets in Brno, Olomouc and Český Krumlov, but Prague’s are the most impressive. You’ll find them in central squares, all wreathed in traditional décor, selling cute Christmas crafts, hot food and drinks. You could time your visit with Prague Christmas – when an international choir sings in Old Town Square – or St. Nicholas Eve (5 December), when men dressed as saints, angels and devils wander the streets handing out sweets to children who have been good and lumps of coal to those who haven’t. After the Christmas break (24–26 December is a national holiday), the year culminates with a spectacular fireworks display, held in Prague on 31 December.

Given its small size, the Czech Republic has one broad climate zone that follows the same seasonal patterns. Springtime is mild and sunny, while early autumn is a few degrees warmer. Only in late October do temperatures begin to drop noticeably around the country. Being surrounded by low-lying mountains, Prague and other destinations in West Bohemia also experience a lot of rainfall in late autumn, so taking a raincoat and extra layers is a good tip.
For those sunny days, the best way to appreciate the natural landscape is with a day trip to the countryside. If time is short, however, then stick to the green gardens and medieval streets of Prague, taking in the Gothic facades of landmarks like St Vitus Cathedral. The city of Český Krumlov, famous for its hillside Renaissance castle, is also worth a visit if you can fit it into your itinerary.

The most beautiful and indescribable city Ihave ever seen
Great city, love the place, the food and the people.
A beautiful city with exuberant architecture and surprising stories, the ST Nicholas Church for example took +100 years to build, comfortable prices and delicious craft beer
We loved every part of Prague and for over 65’s you travel free on transport and reduction on sight seeing . Fabulous restaurants and bars .
If you are not into night life like clubs, pubs kind of then 1 day from morning to evening is enough for Prague. Take a day ticket and you can roam all around Prague and in a single day, you can visit all points with public transport and be ready to walk approximately 20k steps.
Az óváros gyönyörü. Az éttermekbe jó előre kell helyet foglalni, különben nem lesz hely.
Very affordable in every way. Traffic is terrible
The old town is great of course. The town itself is actually pretty expensive comparing to other european capitals but the overall experience is always great. 5th time in Prague for me, and I will deffinitely be back.
A great city. An open-air museum. Very clean and above all great architecture, a great concert at the Church of St.Sauveur
Very nice city. Fantastic boat trips so you can see the city from a different view. Nice walks along the river. The Old Town Square and the castle are fantastic. A little bit expensive.
Fascinating old town is rather big and not spoiled with bedroom suburb
A beautiful city with lots of things to see and experience. If you love architecture, this city is for you. The nightlife is pretty good as well. But make sure to not walk alone at night, especially if you're a girl, as there are creepy, old men one should look after.
monastery and surrounding villages baroque churches, nature, rocks towns
I enjoyed walking morning and afternoon to the city of Prague having coffee or drinks also lunch and dinner. Little problem with very cold weather, but I loved it. Nice buildings also clean Country. The Charles bridge, the Clocks of Major's building, Castle, the Glass Tower, Bar-Restaurant. Very good beers, lots of Pubs and variety of Restaurants, museums, and music halls / opera. Also cruise by the Moldava river .
A beautiful city, full of history and culture, affordable and welcoming. Ideal for a long weekend and easy to walk around.
I have been to Prague many times as it is my favourite city. Everything is within walking distance or easily accessible by metro or tram. Entries to museums are cheap and it is worth going. For good traditional Czech cuisine, visit Restaurace U Vejvodů, but most places serve good food. A must is to visit Vysherad! So much Czech history, and mythology and the view is amazing!
Prague is a very beautiful city, with wonderful architecture, combining old and modern styles. It was also, overall, a very safe city, with public transportation always at disposal and always following the schedule. The people are friendly, nigh life is great. You can just walk around with no plans and will for sure find a nice place to eat or drink.
Prague is a unique city and extremely precious heritage for all the humanity and the world !
Opera house is spectacular. Walking around in the centre of the city is easy. Statues in the train station from the movie "ONE LIFE" worth going to see.
A wonderful city, beautiful, historic and full of youth. Transportation is perfect. However, it was very cold and expensive.
Prague is a great city break If you like good food, beer and great historical architecture. When the weather is good Prague is very pretty, but equally so when the weather is a bit wet and miserable. Prague is a great city to visit for a long weekend.
The city is interesting to walk around and observe the amazing architecture but is spoilt by the tourist touts everywhere. It is now just another big city with splendid buildings.
I am here too often to write review which would could be considered as objective, but you definetly need to try food. Czech cuisine is far better than in any nearby country maybe except Hungary.
This is a cyclist's paradise! There are countless trails that come and go around the complex system of lakes in this region. Each day you can go in a new direction, and come back to the lovely town of Třeboň. The architecture and ambiance of Southern Bohemia is historic but never overstated. If you love nature and history, this place is a necessary stop on your trip!
beautidul tiny old town and huuuge main square. there's also a lovely big park to relax. people are lovely, food is great.
The city is very beautiful and vibrant. A must to go city in Europe.
District 1 in Prague is full of historical monuments. It has some of the most iconic structures of Prague. Charles bride, Dancing theatre, Palaces are some of the most interesting icons to see. If you are staying in District 1 its very easy to get around the importance sites, visit restaurants and bars, shopping etc. We loved the cobbled roads, small streets, historical places, open bars on street etc in Prague. It's one of the most interesting and happening cisities in Europe.
Loved Prague - a beautiful place with lots to see and do. We didn't manage it all on this trip so will definitely be back.
A mesmerizing city of architectural beauty, rich history, and vibrant culture, offering an unforgettable experience for visitors.
Superb old town, very interesting, great public transport links!
Lots of history, culture and architecture to see. Take a free guided tour with Free Tour Prague - 100 Spires City Tours. Amazing knowledge from our guide. Great place to walk and see lots within a short distance. If you want great pictures without the crowds visit the old town at 6am. Also go to the Petrin tower for amazing views, You can pay to walk up the 200 steps or pay extra for the 2 person lift.
Loved Prague ,my second time visiting the City. Plenty to see and do.Lovely restaurants and food. Loved the History and Architecture of Prague - it's a fairy tale city
Gorgeous city, must city to visit. Lots of history and beautiful places. Most of the moving in the city we did on foot, but getting from airport to downtown was really easy and cheap using the public transportation.
Beautiful city with a romantic vibe. Beautiful ancient and historic sites and lots of great restaurants and bars.
Marianske Lazne is a beautiful spa resort. Famous but still relatively quiet. I have visited the town in the summer season as well as in winter. Summer is gorgeous there. Kolonada is a must see. Bring your cup and drink the local mineral water directly from the spring. Try some of the famous spa wafers.
Prague is a beautiful city. You cannot feel boring. Always want to explore new places. From a visit in the castle to a sightseeing mini cruise across the river,the Carol bridge and a lot of ancients and historical buildings where the museum,the theater,the churches, the astrological watch and also a lot of shopping centers!
We are a family of 5 with three boys of under 11 years travelling from the UK to Turkey and back (17 countries), and Prague is BY FAR the best European city we visited. The kids loved it, we loved it and we are now even planning company retreats to Prague we loved it so much
The city is not much to write home about, an old main square and some streets in the middle, other than that a warn down industrial town. Mostly good as a base to discover the Cech paradise.
Český Krumlov is a gorgeous fairy tale town which is a must visit!! You need minimum 2 days to explore this beautiful town. The Wiseman Tour (https://www.wisemanfreetour.com/) is the best way to know more about the history and culture of Cesky Krumlov. The castle is gorgeous but you can skip the theatre tour. Don't miss visiting this place if you are in Czech Republic.
The Transportation System was one of the best in the world from Train to Tram and Tram to Bus Perfect.
A fantastic place to go for a long weekend. So much to offer - beer, architecture, river cruises, museums. We also went on a day trip to Bohemian Switzerland which was amazing!
A really beautiful quiet mountain resort with access to many hiking and biking trails. It's perfect base for road cycling (our sport) but also other activities.
Spent all our time in the old town. Lovely place, friendly atmosphere, lots of places to eat out. Be prepared for lots of walking if you like exploring. Recommend the Jazz Boat, excellent food and live music. Too much to see and do in four days, would like to go back and get to the theatre.
Very beautiful place, many monuments, interesting buildings, cute little streets, friendly people. Mostly well connected public transport.
Enchanting city to visit! The buildings, churches and monuments create both a magical but also gothic atmosphere. Don’t miss out on the many guided tours this city has to offer, definitely worth it!
Prague was a gorgeous city! All of the beautiful buildings and scenery. I heard that things were less expensive there than in America, don’t expect that. The prices were like California.
One of the most beautiful cities in Europe. A lot more beautiful and cleaner than many other touristic cities /capticals . The trip to Prague was so amazing that I would not easily forget for the rest of my life. So many attractions and great food /drinks. Please do spend at least 3 days!
I like everything about Prague it is why I visit so often
Really nice Czech city to visit. A lot of young people and students live here, so in comparison to Prague it's more alive.
Prag is unique, we have seen so much but itˆs impossible to list the whole sightseeing We will come back, for sleeping <i would recommend the hotel Ventana
City center is astonishing for sure if you are a first timer, but places near Prague really deserves a visit, which would evolve your overall experience into another horizon. If you plan to visit only the places within city center, 2 days at maximum would be sufficient. But it would require a week of an accommodation to properly visit the places around Prague.
I love everything about Brno. The city exceeded our expectations. Brno is a very beautiful city.
We liked that it had both city sightseeing and you could also take hiked/walks nearby. Public transportation was great you buy ticket on the bus by card on a small machine which has English language. There are Spa and Thai massage all over the place also great restaurants, market with local seasonal fruits and food. Great walk to the Obora Svatý Linhart or bus and walk to Svatoš rocks. Climb stairs to the Chamois Statue...etc. great nature and city combination.
Prague is historic and scenic with beautiful Baroque architecture. The boat trips are fulfilling and the old square is fab. The food is just okay, nothing special.
Prague is beautiful - cultured, elegant with a wealth of stylish places to eat and drink
One of the jewels in the crown of the Czech Republic. This is an amazing spa town with luxurious hotels, amazing resorts and numerous publicly accessible spring sources. The choice of food may not be the best in the country but for everything else, the score will be pretty high.
I am very impressed by this city, we will definitely come back. Prague, you surprised us. I recommend Bakalar beer, it is made by a local producer and can be found in the location “na ovocnem trh" Also the experience in the Aromi restaurant was beyond words.🫶
The town is small and quiet, the focus is on the brewery but there is nothing else to see.
Prague is a beautiful city to visit and RETURN for a visit again. Just relax while walking around and enjoy the food and local history. Take a short Train ride to visit Pilzen for a day ( Brewery) or go a different route to visit another city.
The city is very nice, a lot of nice places to visit, a lot of museums. You have to book minimum 3-4 days for have a relax trip to Prague.
Beautiful city. Plenty to see and do. Disappointed on 2 of the trips we did. Hop on off bus. No guide, had to download app to have prerecorded voice that was out of sink of where we were. Didn't get told about app had to ask. Underground prague. 90min tour of 3 different cellars. This includes 30 mins of walking to each of them. Very disappointing. Both trips were a waste of time and money
- Moderní a čistý hotel - Milí personal - Parkování v areálu - Snídaně výborná
Very picturesque, it is such an enchanting place! Great architecture, history and ambiance, much to see and do. Very walkable, as the cities sights are reasonably close together. Explore ‘the side streets’, steps away from the busy more touristy streets, but you will find cute cafes, restaurants and shops too! Place looks magical at night with all the lights on!
A post-industrial town that has set up alternative employment opportunities. Delightful central shopping mall . Good supermarkets and restaurants. Good travel links. Variety of attractive parks. Our main reason was to see a grandson perform in the ballet theatre. Variety of transport posdibilities
If you like old town with great architecture then this is the place for you. I stayed for 3 days 2 nights, would be better if I had one more day to explore the town further.
Such a beautiful city with so much to do and see but very crowded. Trip to the zoo was brilliant and very good value. Uber service very quick to pick you up and cheap prices. Great city for vegans lots of fantastic food.
Prague is a wonderful city to visit - so easy to navigate the beautiful historic streets. So many nice places to explore, eat, drink and be entertained in. Would highly recommend a short stay here - incredibly romantic with photo opportunities on every corner.
Beautiful city with lot of options in terms pf transportation, food, shops and things to do Ate dinner the souvlaki bar and breakfast at Grandior Hotel, both recommended
The city is very beautiful even in winter where you can rug up and see more when there are no leaves on the trees. The Christmas festivities created a wonderful atmosphere, and there are so many points of interest.
Lovely historic town, super Xmas markets - better than Prague. Loads of great bars and several superb microbreweries as well as the world famous Budvar brewery which is well worth a tour. Great parks and loads of easy walking around the town make it a pleasure to visit. Good transport links and nearby Cesky Krumlov is a must see.
Prague is one of the most exciting, historic cities in the heart of Europe, together with Budapest and Vienna. You can never get tired of its positive, vibrant spirit, ancient streets, culture and ancient breweries.
