What Each Season Actually Feels Like
Spring (April-May) is mild and pleasant, good for walking Prague Castle and the old town. Summer (June-August) is warm and busy with tourists. Autumn (September-October) mirrors spring’s comfort with fewer crowds. Winter (November-March) is cold but includes atmospheric Christmas markets in December.
Pricing
Does Timing Actually Change the Price?
Moderately — prices rise around peak summer months and the December Christmas market season.
