The city
§ I
Red rooftops, cobbled hills, and beer older than most nations.

Choosing when to visit Prague matters more than most people realise. Two travellers arriving three months apart can have entirely different experiences — different temperatures, different crowds, different photographs. A city that Kafka understood too well to leave.

We've computed the “best” and “avoid” months for Prague from ten years of historical weather data. The verdict considers temperature comfort, rainfall, and daily sunshine hours — the metrics that actually change how a trip feels on the ground. For Prague, we point you toward May, June, July, August.
