WHEN TO GO

The months when most visitors go to the Czech Republic are May, June and September. April and October attract travelers who are looking for fewer crowds and lower prices, although the weather may be cold and rainy.

The Czechs go on vacation primarily in July and August. Also in July and August hostels are fully booked with students, especially in Prague. Outside of Prague and other major regional centers, from October until April, most castles and museums close down.
