About Prague

Prague is a visually striking European capital split in two by the Vltava River and renowned for its intact Gothic, Renaissance, baroque, and Art Nouveau architecture. The historic district of Staré Město features the iconic 15th-century Astronomical Clock on Old Town Square, while the Gothic Charles Bridge connects across the water to Malá Strana and the expansive Prague Castle complex. Known for its Bohemian spirit, the city blends ancient sights with modern life, offering traditional Czech pubs serving local lager alongside classical concert halls and contemporary art hubs.

When to go

Prague is at its best for a compact weekend of bridges, beer halls and old-town walks.

The best times to visit Prague are during the shoulder seasons of April and May or September and October, which offer warm weather, fewer crowds, and major cultural events like the Prague Spring Music Festival. Summer brings long daylight hours alongside high heat peaking above 30ºC, packed tourist throngs crossing Charles Bridge, and popular events such as the Prague Pride Festival in August. For budget travelers, visiting from November to March yields slashed hotel rates and quieter streets, though temperatures can drop significantly. Holiday visitors can enjoy famous Christmas markets operating in Old Town Square and Wenceslas Square from late November through early January.
