What is the Best Time to Visit Prague?
There is no bad time to visit Prague. I’ve visited this lovely city several times and each season has its own charms, with plenty of things to do in Prague throughout the year. Prague can get very cold in winter, but the snow brings a magical white blanket to the city.
I didn’t mean to visit Prague in winter (I went in the middle of March!), but that year the weather was particularly brutal and I found myself in Prague with sub-zero temperatures and snow. While I usually prefer warmer weather, the best thing about Prague in the winter is that it is blissfully quiet!
During the spring and summer, Prague is an extremely popular destination, with tourists flocking to the city. A lot of stag and hen parties (or bachelor(ette) parties for Americans) also choose Prague to celebrate, thanks to the relatively cheap flights, alcohol and nightlife.
So, visiting Prague in the autumn and winter months is far more enjoyable, not only due to fewer crowds, but also thanks to the beautiful snowy weather – as long as you wrap up warm.
Why Visit Prague in Winter?
It is quieter! Prague is one of those cities whose popularity has exploded in recent years. Thousands of tourists flock to Prague every year, and over-tourism is becoming an issue during the busy summer season when the famous Charles Bridge is packed with tourists, selfie sticks and souvenir sellers.
During the winter, Prague is still a popular destination, but there are noticeably fewer tour groups, stag (bachelor) parties and screaming kids.
For me, visiting anywhere without crowds has to be a huge plus. You might also find some good deals on flights and accommodation in Prague as the demand is lower. And the cold weather is a great excuse for drinking mulled wine and eating all the hearty traditional Czech food in Prague!
Prague in December
While it is quieter than the summer months, visiting Prague in December is still popular thanks to the wonderful Prague Christmas markets. Christmas in Prague is a big deal, so prepare to get festive!
St Nicholas Eve on 5th December is the traditional beginning of Christmas in Prague when Saint Mikulas (as he is known here) gifts children with sweets and treats in the Old Town Square. In Czech folklore Saint Nick is accompanied by an angel and a devil, so you will find them joining him as they hand out the goodies to the waiting kids.
Christmas Markets in Prague
The most famous Christmas market in Prague is held at the Old Town Square (Staroměstské náměstí). Here, you’ll find charming wooden stalls adorned with twinkling lights, selling a variety of traditional Czech handicrafts, ornaments, and gifts. If you’re hungry then mulled wine, hot chocolate, and traditional Czech treats are all on offer too.
The Old Town Square Christmas market typically features a large Christmas tree as its centrepiece, which is ceremoniously lit in early December. You can also enjoy live performances, carol singing, and various cultural activities that celebrate the holiday spirit.
In addition to the Old Town Square market, you can also find smaller Christmas markets in other parts of Prague, such as Wenceslas Square and Prague Castle. These markets offer similar festive experiences, with stalls selling holiday goodies and unique gifts.
The Christmas markets in Prague usually open in late November and continue until early January, giving you plenty of time to soak up the festive and experience the Prague’s winter charm.
New Years’ Eve in Prague
As anywhere, hotels for New Year’s Eve in Prague are likely to be more expensive, and you might struggle to find availability at your chosen hotel in Prague. If you want to attend a party or event, purchase your tickets online as early as you can, as they tend to sell out.
Usually, there are free fireworks displays in Old Town Square and around Charles Bridge, which of course draw huge crowds, but the atmosphere will be worth it.
Prague in January
Christmas markets in Prague still run into January, so you may find visiting at the beginning of January is a bit cheaper than in the run-up to Christmas. Following the procession of the Three Kings on 5th January, Christmas markets usually end on 6th January, so be sure not to miss them!

Winter in Prague usually lasts from December to February, with January typically being the coldest month. Prague winter temperatures often dip below freezing, and in January the average daytime temperature hovers at around 0°C, with the night temperatures much colder.
I visited Prague in March, and although I missed the -15°C temperatures brought on by unseasonably cold weather, it did drop to around -7°C, with a bitter wind.
While this might not sound appealing, when the snow fell, Prague became even more magical. Snowfall is fairly common throughout the winter but rarely affects day-to-day life in Prague too much.
It seems that life in the Czech capital continues regardless of the cold weather and snow – something that would cause a city like London to grind to a halt – but Prague soldiers on, its residents simply wearing more warm clothes to cope with the chill!
How Often Does it Snow in Prague?
During the winter months, a snowy Prague is not uncommon. The average snowfall in Prague in November is about 4 days, with that figure increasing to 12-13 days of snow during December. January and February are the snowiest months in Prague, with January averaging nearly 20 days of snow in the month, and February averaging 14.
By March, snow is much less frequent but there is still an average of 8 or 9 snowy days in the month, and it can still get very cold! If you want to see Prague in the snow then January with the added bonus of Christmas in Prague then late December and early January are your best bet.

What to Wear in Prague in Winter
Layers, and lots of them! I was wearing a pair of tights under my jeans, a t-shirt, 3 thin cardigans, a thick woolly jumper, and a coat with a scarf, hat and gloves and I still felt cold at times!
On your Prague packing list, you will need a good windproof winter coat, and I also suggest some thermal layers to keep you well-insulated. Comfortable walking shoes or boots are also essential, especially if it does snow, as areas can get very slippery underfoot.
Don’t forget to bring some warm socks, a woolly hat, scarf and gloves – you will need them!
Something else to bear in mind is that in sub-zero temperatures, phone and camera batteries die very quickly, so take a portable charger or spare batteries with you so you don’t miss out on beautiful snowy photos!
The Best Things to Do in Prague in Winter
There are lots of things to do in Prague in December and January to keep you busy – and warm – so you can have a wonderful winter Prague trip.

Or you can browse more activities and tours in Prague here.
Explore the Christmas Markets in Prague
Visiting Europe in winter has the added bonus that Christmas is in the air. From early December till January 6th Prague’s squares fill up with gorgeous Christmas market stalls selling Christmas decorations, gifts, souvenirs and deliciously warming food and drink.
You’ll find some of the best Prague Christmas markets at the Old Town Square, Wenceslas Square, Peace Square and Prague Castle, so you have plenty of places to do some Christmas shopping! If you like to have a guide show you around some of the best markets, check out this tour.
Go Ice Skating
Ice Skating is a fun winter activity in Prague, and temporary ice skating rinks pop up around the city. You can bring your own skates or hire them at the rinks.
Popular places for ice skating in Prague include the rink at Victory Square, which is free of charge (with a fee to hire skates), under the Žižkov Television Tower, and at Letna Plan next to Sparta Prague football stadium.
Visit Prague Castle
A visit to the Castle is one of the most popular things to do in Prague, and it does get busy – even in winter. Most of the outdoor areas a free to visit, so if you are visiting Prague on a budget you can still explore without spending a penny. Don’t miss the changing of the guard at 12pm just inside the castle gates which is fascinating to watch.
Key areas of Prague Castle to visit include the Old Royal Palace, St. Vitus Cathedral, St. George’s Basilica, and Golden Lane, a street within the castle walls that has been preserved and restored to showcase people’s homes here over the ages.
The highlight for me was the magnificent St Vitus Cathedral, which is the largest religious building in Prague. it contains the tombs of many Bohemian kings and Holy Roman Emperors. Bear in mind that on Sunday mornings it is closed to visitors due to mass, only opening at 12 noon to huge queues of people waiting to go in, so choose another day to visit if you can.
Entry tickets for Prague Castle cost around $10 USD, and you can buy them online here to skip the queues at the ticket office (indeed there are posters outside the ticket office directing you to the GetYourGuide website so get a headstart and buy them while you have wifi!) You can also book a guided tour of the castle here.
You can also purchase a separate ticket at the ticket office to climb the tower of the cathedral which I highly recommend doing, for even more magnificent views of Prague. The 287 steps to the top of the tower are quite narrow, and seem to go on forever, but the view is certainly worth it. You can spot the bells and clockwork of the tower as you climb.
Photograph the Beautiful City
The best photo spots in Prague are even more beautiful in winter, and if you can manage an early morning it is definitely worth it to get photographs of the crisp fresh snow and tourist hot spots without the crowds – perfect for Instagram or just beautiful holiday pics.
The Best Winter Photo Spots in Prague:
The Historic Centre of Prague
This UNESCO World Heritage site deserves exploration, and simply by wandering the streets you can’t help but admire the stunning mix of Gothic, High Baroque and Modernist architecture on display.
Don’t miss the Town Hall square and the clock tower, housing the famous Astronomical Clock. It was sadly it was being renovated when I was in town so I missed the spectacle, but even in winter a crowd gathers for its musical show every hour between 8 AM and 8 PM.
It is also well worth climbing the clock tower located in the Old Town Hall for views of the Town Hall square, The Church of Our Lady Before Týn, and the rest of the city. I went up for sunset, which wasn’t spectacular on that particular day, but if you get lucky it will be mind-blowing! Get your entry ticket for the clock tower here.
Charles Bridge
I took one for the team here and got up at 6.30am braving below-freezing temperatures to take some gorgeous photographs of Prague when it was blissfully quiet, and covered with a light dusting of snow. There were still several people like me snapping photos on the famous Charles Bridge, but usually, you will have a split second to take some shots without anyone in it.
Annoyingly just as I had the bridge to myself my phone decided to die (see my previous warning about having a portable phone charger with you) and by the time I had plugged it into the charger I had company again! Ah well, you can’t have it all. Even with a few people, it’s still worth the effort to get up early.
Letná Park
After crossing Charles Bridge, I walked alongside the Vltava River to Letná Park where you can climb up to a viewpoint that overlooks the city, and all the bridges in Prague. There was no one around when I went up there, and the fresh snow crunched beautifully beneath my feet. Anywhere I can go and get some time on my own in a busy city like Prague gets my vote!
Prague Castle
I didn’t come up here when it was snowy as I went to Letná Park instead, but the views from the castle walls are incredible. Prague Castle is the largest castle complex in Europe, and I learned from my Eating Prague Tour Guide that the castle is lit at night thanks to the Rolling Stones who coughed up the cash for the spotlights.
You can also grab a coffee from Starbucks to warm you up, or just use their convenient terrace to take some photos! You can stroll around the castle complex for free but will need tickets to go inside.
Ginger & Fred – The Dancing House
For fans of modern architecture, take a walk along the river (or hop on a tram) to Ginger & Fred, the so-called “Dancing House” designed by architects Vlado Milunić and Frank O. Gehry. The stone tower symbolizes Fred Astaire and the glass tower, his partner Ginger Rogers. There’s a gallery and restaurant inside, or just snap some pics from the outside.
Check out the Street Art
Prague is a fascinating city to wander around – if you’re wrapped up and prepared for the weather. Some of the best places to visit in Prague for street art include the John Lennon Wall, which is full of colourful graffiti, and a must-see.
Keep a look out for works by Czech sculptor David Černý that are dotted around the city. Probably the most famous street art in Prague is the moving sculpture depicting the head of writer Franz Kafka, which is outside the Quadrio shopping centre.
Other works of his include the weird crawling babies that were installed on the TV Tower but are now in Kampa Park, and “Piss” – two statues of men urinating into a pond close to the Franz Kafka Museum.
Visit Some of the Museums in Prague
Speaking of museums, Prague is brimming with history and has some fascinating museums to explore. It’s a great excuse to get out of the weather if it is snowing or raining outside! The recently renovated National Museum is filled with natural science and history exhibits, housed in a magnificent building at the head of St Wenceslas Square.
The Franz Kafka Museum is a must for fans of the writer, or head to the National Film Museum or the National Gallery. Kids of all ages will love the Lego Museum, and even the Apple Museum which has more than 450 Apple products from 1976 to the present time.
More unusual museums that may be more popular among bachelor parties in Prague include the Sex Machines Museum, the Czech Beer Museum and the Slivovitz Museum with plum brandy tasting. Take your pick and decide which ones you fancy for a respite from the weather outside!
Money Saving Tip
If you’re planning to visit several museums, you may save money with a Prague City Card which includes free entrance to more than 60 attractions including Prague Castle, as well as 50% discounts on tours and shows. Check out what is included and compare it to where you want to go to see if is worth it for you.Things to do in Prague in Winter: Take a Prague Tour
Walking tours of Prague continue throughout the year, and as long as you wrap up warm it is well worth exploring Prague on foot. You can arrange walking tours with Prague City Tourism for 300 CZK or you could try a Prague free walking tour or even a Ghost Tour! Literature fans should also check out this tour where you can learn about Franz Kafka and his relationship to Prague.
I had a tour of the Old Town Hall arranged by Prague City Tourism which was fascinating; you can go and take a look around for free, but the paid tour takes you to other areas including the cellars downstairs.
Watch a Show
A wonderful way to get into the Christmas Spirit and keep warm is to watch a performance of live music or theatre. The Nation Theatre usually has performances of The Nutcracker throughout December, or if you want to be immersed in historical luxury, try a Mozart concert and dinner at the beautiful Boccaccio Ballroom.
For a more rustic evening, check out this Medieval Dinner with unlimited drinks where you’ll be entertained by swordsmen, jugglers, and belly dancers in a medieval-style performance accompanied by music
Eat All the Traditional Czech Food You Can
I love Czech food! Traditional dishes like beef in a creamy vegetable sauce, or goulash with dumplings are made for the cold weather, and I loved sampling as much Czech cuisine as I could, and the food in Prague is delicious and filling.
When it is cold outside, there is nothing better than warming yourself up in a nice warm bar or restaurant and enjoying a drink or a bite to eat. Seasonal winter specialities include zelňačka which is sauerkraut cabbage soup (a traditional hangover cure on New Year’s day!) and svařák mulled wine, served piping hot with spices like cloves, cinnamon and nutmeg to warm you up.
As for other drinks, Czech beer is a must for most people, and while you can happily try beer in any Czech bar or restaurant, a beer tour is a great way to learn more about the Czechs’ favourite beverage.
Personally, I don’t drink beer so I focussed on trying Czech wine instead. I took an Eating Prague Food Tour with Eating Europe where we visited a wine bar and ate lots of delicious traditional food. The tour also included different areas of the city I hadn’t seen before, and although walking between the stops was bitterly cold, each place we visited was toasty warm! You can also check out the food tour on GetYourGuide here.
Explore the Rest of the Czech Republic
Before I visited Prague, I spent a few days exploring the Czech Republic’s second-biggest city, Brno, which I really enjoyed.
If you enjoy visiting historic castles, then East Bohemia has some wonderful castles to explore just over an hour’s drive from Prague.
Another popular destination is Cesky Krumlov, a fairytale town in South Bohemia, which has been beautifully restored to its former glory, and looks just like it would have done several hundred years ago. The snow-topped rooves in this pretty town add an extra magical touch.
Many people suggest taking a Cesky Krumlov day trip from Prague but spend the night there and you won’t be disappointed as it is a lovely place to explore! If you don’t have time for a longer trip, there are various day tours from Prague to Cesky Krumlov.
There are also plenty of day trips from Prague you can take to explore, such as the Kutna Hora and the bone chapel.
The Downside of Visiting Prague in Winter
Aside from the cold temperatures, the only real disadvantage to visiting Prague in the winter is that some opening hours may be shorter than from spring to autumn, and some tours and attractions may not be open at all. With shorter days, you also will probably spend more time exploring Prague at night than you would during the longer summer days.
Similarly, for other destinations in the Czech Republic such as Cesky Krumlov and Brno I found some things were closed in the winter, such as the Castle Museum in Cesky Krumlov. Check what you want to do in advance and decide if the benefits of visiting Prague during the winter outweigh the disadvantages!
Where to Stay in Prague
Old Town Prague is certainly the most popular place to stay in Prague, where you can step out of the front door and immediately be immersed in the beautiful architecture and the buzz of Prague. However, staying slightly out of the centre can get you more bang for your buck, if you don’t mind walking a bit further to see the sights.

Hello, we’ve just been there. And it is amazing. It was cold, but there is so much to do, for example we spent the whole day in Prague Castle to not miss anything 🙂
That sounds lovely! I’ll try and go back in early December to see if they still do it! A friend of mine lives in Prague, I can ask her to check it out too 🙂
We lived in Prague for three and a half years. I loved Christmas there, especially St Nicolas December 6, Children’s Christmas carols, fairytales on the television. The highlight was going to Slavkov to watch the reenactment of the battle of Austerlitz on my 40th birthday (December 4th). I don’t know if they do it anymore.
Prague is one of those cities whose popularity has exploded in recent years. I’m quite suitable here, thanks your posts
I reccomend Plzen for a day trip from Prague. It is just one and half hour by train.
You make such a convincing argument, but being from a country that has only sunshine and rain I am not sure I would be able to handle the cold. Honestly, it is very tempting because the place looks amazing. Cesky Krumlov, the food and Charles Bridge are three of the things that could help change my mind though.
I had been to Prague in the fall and at that time it was really crowded. And, then i saw the snowcapped photo of Prague at the Library. Since then I have been aching to go back in winters. Your post just added to my desire. I always prefer destinations in shoulder months when there is less crowds and you can enjoy the place at your own pace.
Funnily enough, I visited Prague in winter recently too! Although I visited in early December (thinking it would be quieter than closer to Christmas, but man, I was wrong) – it was so busy! I loved the winter vibe of Prague as you did, and the pics you took of an almost empty Charles Bridge are fantastic! I did get to see the Astronomical Clock, and it’s amazing, but there is so much to see in Prague that is just as amazing!
You made good points about why winter in Prague. To be honest, I am not a fan of traveling during winters. I still am. Will always be, but, winter is a time of vacation and it would be a waste to spend those paid leaves at home. I am always looking for the next destination to travel to during winter. Prague sounds good! Thank you!
I’ve been wanting to go to Prague for years but haven’t made it there yet. I think I’d definitely go in Winter too – I hate zooed out cities like Venice in Summer & can imagine that Prague is the same. Great tip about phone/camera batteries – we live in the Alps during the Winter and battery life is massively shorter in the cold weather. Love the fact that The Rolling Stones paid for Prague Castle’s spotlights – how cool is that!
Eeeeshk, minus-7 in March? That does not sound fun. You got some gorgeous photos of the snowy streets though. And any excuse to eat more delicious Czech comfort food is a good one
Prague is beautiful every month of the year! Winter isn’t too cold for me- but I spent October there the year before last and it was great!
I love visiting Praha in the winter especially when it has snowed. Coming out of the bar, the cold air hits ya, slipping over the cobble stones which make up the streets…love it! 🙂 Oh and love watching the ice hockey there. can’t beat it! 🙂
Not exactly winter but I am off to Prague next week. It will be my third visit in a year so I am getting to see the city all the year round! I completely agree with your justification for going in winter – and I really admire you for getting up to take that shot. I meant to do it…really I did. But I know I won’t this time as my hotel is a 30 minute walk from the town centre.
We agree, visiting Prague in winter is a great trip and definitely quieter than the summer months. We went in December and loved the Christmas Markets but as mentioned, you do need to wrap up warm.
Great post and beautiful photos. Prague is my hometown and even though I obviously love it any time of the year I must agree that winter is the most magical season. Walking across the Charles bridge on an early winter morning is a fairytale experience!
Prague looks absolutely gorgeous! My friend just got back from there and I’m so jealous!

Prague looks amazing in winter and less crowded from what I can see, gorgeous.
