All the practical information you need to know before visiting Prague in , inc. In this blog post, I wanted to round up all the practical information you should know before you travel to Prague even if you are visiting only for one day. Prague is the capital of the Czech Republic. The term is more likely to refer to the political division of Europe before , than the geographical location, but I would still say, that Prague is in the heart of Europe, not in the East.
There are also plenty of green spaces like Stromovka or Letna Park , and beautiful gardens like hidden baroque Vrtba Garden or Grebovka Park with its own vineyard. On the other hand, if you want to go somewhere off the beaten track, Prague could be a great base from which you can explore less visited towns and historical places in the Czech Republic, like for example Pardubice town , which is only 60 minutes by train.
This will very much depend on whether you are visiting Prague in summer or winter and also what activities you are planning to do. I tend to go more for casual wear, since I walk everywhere and spend a lot of time outdoors.
Most Czech people prefer to wear casual or smart comfortable clothes in a western Europe style jeans, t-shirts and sport shoes etc. Going offseason completely, like for example in January , February , March or November is fine too, bearing in mind that the winter weather in Prague is often very cold and there are not that many things happening. For a medieval fairytale town with a Christmas atmosphere and to experience the charming Christmas Prague Markets , you can also visit in early December up to the 6 th of January.
Summer is usually the busiest part of the year, and Prague can get very hot with several heatwaves and overcrowded in the centre. The Prague summer weather can be also very changeable with varying temperatures.
