Prague Climate

Prague is a perfect year-round destination. It is a city that appeals to the senses and, as such, its magical and romantic allure is not confined to a specific season. In Prague, the seasons form different backdrops that serve to enhance the beauty of the city and highlight its many magical qualities.

In spring, nature awakens from her winter slumber as milder temperatures arrive in mid-April. Average highs of 15ºC and lows of 5ºC herald the blossoming of the fruit trees in Petrin Hill and are perfect for saunters in the gardens of the Royal Palace, boat trips up the Vltava River or attending the Beer Festival and the Spring Music Festival. Summers are hot, with temperatures averaging highs of 22ºC and lows of 12ºC, rising occasionally to as much as 35ºC. In summer, the outside cafés and restaurants buzz with animation as warmer, longer days allow for evenings spent outdoors surveying the stunning sunsets over the city and the Charles Bridge. The city re-invents itself in autumn, this time silhouetted against the morning mist and sunny afternoons of mild days and to the accompaniment of the many musical events that take place during these months. Winter brings shorter days and colder temperatures (average highs of 2ºC and lows of -4ºC) but this is the season of merriment and festivity in Prague, when the streets teem with people as the famous December markets liven up the city and provide successive days of outdoor entertainment.
