Best time to travel to Czech Republic

Late spring (May) and early fall are the ideal periods to visit the Czech Republic (September and October). These months offer not just the finest weather, but also fewer tourists and lower lodging costs.

The Czech Republic has a four-season climate and a temperate climate. 1 In the winter, average daily temperatures drop to 36 degrees F (2 degrees C) and in the summer, they hover around 73 degrees F (23 degrees C). Despite the fact that the country does not experience much harsh weather, the climate varies due to variances in height.

The summer months, particularly July and August, are the busiest for tourists. Prices will be higher at certain times, and major attractions such as Prague Castle and Charles Bridge will likely have long queues and large crowds. The weather can also be quite hot at this time of year, with temperatures reaching as high as 100 degrees F (37 degrees C) on rare occasions, and air conditioning is scarce. If you want to visit around this time, make sure your lodging has air conditioning or fans, and get up and depart early to avoid the heat and crowds.

Spring or fall are the best times to come if you plan on hiking through any of the country's national parks, such as Bohemian Paradise or Bohemian Switzerland. This time of year, the pleasant temperatures and quiet weather make for a great setting for outdoor activities. If you want to go skiing, come later in the winter to ensure that there is plenty of snow on the slopes. Summer, on the other hand, maybe the best season to visit if you prefer to spend your time sunbathing near the Brno or Liberec reservoirs.
