When to go

Lying at the heart of central Europe, Prague has a continental climate: winters can be bitterly cold, summers correspondingly scorching. The best times to visit, in terms of weather, are late spring and early autumn. Summer in the city can be pretty stifling, but the real reason for avoiding the peak season is that it can get uncomfortably crowded in the centre - finding a place to eat in the evening, let alone securing a room, can become fraught with difficulties. If you're looking for good weather, April is the earliest you can expect at least some sunny days, and October is the last warm month. If you don't mind the cold, the city looks beautiful in the snowy winter months.

5.0 out of 5 stars A true insiders guide, May 28, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Prague 3: The Rough Guide (3rd Edition) (Paperback)

As someone who lived in Prague, I can say that this is the real thing. With enough tourist-y information to get newcomers started, The Rough Guide goes off the beaten path--offering tidbits of off-the-wall history and an insider's look at the city's best kept secrets. An added bonus--reviews of, honestly, the best restaurants, bars and clubs in the city--not a single tourist trap or cliche among them. A must read for visitors to the city!
