The 'City of a Hundred Spires' has been the capital of Bohemia since the 9th century and served as the seat of two Holy Roman Emperors. Its Charles Bridge, begun in 1357, links the Old Town with the Castle Quarter, home to the largest ancient castle complex in the world. Prague's medieval astronomical clock, functioning since 1410, is the oldest still operating in the world.
Nights sit around 10°C and afternoons around 20°C, though some days reach 28°C.
Prague has real seasons: summer afternoons sit around 25°C, winter ones around 4°C.
Some summer days reach 31°C, and some winter nights drop below freezing.
Most of the rain falls in summer, least in winter. In July it rains about 10 days in 30; in February, 7.
Wind is rarely an issue; most months sit between calm and a light breeze. Air quality is worth watching: December averages an AQI of 68, while July clears to 38.
Days stretch to about 16.1 hours of light in June and shrink to 7.9 in December — something to weigh if you work to a fixed timezone.
No month in Prague matches what you're after, so come for the place rather than the weather. Expect fast internet (247 Mbps) and a high cost of living (about €1600 a month).
