Best Time To Visit Prague > Weather, Temperature & Season

What is the best time to visit Prague?

The best time to visit Prague is from April to October, with average daytime temperatures range from 15°C to 30°C, with manageable humidity and occasional spring or summer showers. April to May and September to October offer mild weather and thinner crowds, while June to August is the warmest and liveliest period, filled with events and festivals, though also the most crowded and expensive. Winters, from November to March, are chilly and quieter, with snowfall and reduced daylight, but perfect for budget travelers and those seeking a festive Christmas market experience.

June to August (Peak Season – Summer): Temperatures in Prague range from 22°C to 30°C, making it the hottest and busiest time of year. Expect long days, sunshine, and occasional heat waves, especially in July and August. The temperature, some years, even can cross 30°C. Rain often comes as quick summer storms, and humidity can be above 60%, making it feel stickier than the thermometer shows. Winds are light and cooling breezes near the river offer some relief. Crowds are thick, especially at major landmarks, so early starts and air-conditioned stays are recommended.

April to May & September to October (Shoulder Season – Spring/Autumn): These months are widely considered the best time to visit Prague, with daytime temperatures ranging from 15°C to 24°C and cooler evenings between 7°C to 13°C. April and May bring longer daylight, blossoming parks, and mild weather with moderate humidity and occasional showers. September and October are characterised by fewer tourists, vibrant fall foliage, and cool, comfortable days. Humidity drops, and the air feels crisp and clean. Occasional rainfall is expected, and early October can bring the first chilly breezes of the season.

November to March (Off Season – Winter): Winter in Prague is cold, with daytime temperatures ranging from -1°C to 6°C, and nights often dipping below freezing. Snow is possible from late November through March, with higher chances in January and February. Winds can be brisk, and windchill makes it feel colder than the forecast. Humidity is low, but dampness and fog are common, particularly in December. Christmas markets fill the city with festive cheer, while January and February are quiet and inexpensive for travel.
