Prague

Winter in Prague is a magical time. Of course, it is cold, but if you come prepared for the weather you can enjoy the best things to do in Prague in winter without the crowds that usually fill the streets. I’ve brought together all of my tips in this ultimate guide to enjoying a Prague winter vacation, including what to do in Prague in winter, what to wear, where to stay and why you should visit Prague during the winter!

I didn’t mean to visit Prague in winter (I went in the middle of March!), but this 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.
