You can really walk the streets and absorb the feeling without bumping into thousands of people lost finding their way around. You don’t have to stand in long lines to get entry into a shop, into the theater or exhibition and getting seated in a restaurant is much easier.

3: The weather is the best during Fall and Winter

Prague is hot during the summer months. Most of the trams do not have air conditioning and buildings were designed in the old days when we didn’t need air conditioning.  Walking on the hot cobblestones in the hot sun can be grueling, so why not go skiing in the mountains of Czechia instead or take private winter walking tour.
