Prague plus 5 what to wear. A trip to Prague in winter - what awaits tourists? When is the best time to go to Prague? What time of year to choose
What to wear when coming to this amazing country? What do Czech fashionistas like to wear and where can they buy the most stylish clothes in the Czech Republic? Prague fashion is characterized by democracy, freedom and relaxedness, which you will feel while walking the streets of ancient Czech cities.
The fashion of all major cities is individual. It is unique in its own way in Prague, albeit in one of the central, but at the same time closed from external influence, European cities. The almost absolute majority of Prague residents are not particularly interested in fashion. In this regard, two clearly defined trends in the style of dressing have appeared in the city - a democratic style and a casual style. The first is good because a person does not waste a lot of time, racking his brains thinking through his daily wardrobe.
Czechs almost never wear warm clothes, even on the coldest winter days. Even in cold weather, they feel calm in a short, light jacket with an open collar. In winter you can see women in light shoes.
A person puts on what comes to hand and goes about his business, be it work, school or a store. Democratic clothing is, first of all, jeans, bikers, regular trousers and sweaters, or any other clothing that does not pretend to be luxurious and glamorous. Simply put, this direction is a winner because it is as simple as possible and accessible to everyone. But democracy means freedom. Freedom to choose clothes, to want something, to strive for a certain appearance. Residents of Prague are free people, not dependent on the dictatorship of world fashion.
But let's talk about the second trend, which has become very relevant in Prague today. There are some things that are good in moderation, and one of them is negligence. Among Hollywood stars, a striking example of this is Keira Knightley. A young girl who has achieved a lot, but is not at all glamorous - it’s all about her. She would most likely be impressed by the manner of dressing like Prague girls.
Meanwhile, negligence borders on ordinary sloppiness, and this is clearly visible upon closer examination of the wardrobe of local teenagers.
And here are the words of Zoryana Stekhnovic, a designer by profession and the owner of two wedding clothing boutiques in the capital of the Czech Republic: “I myself am a big fan of elegance, which is more characteristic of Russians or Ukrainians than of Czechs. A bride from Russia or Ukraine will almost certainly buy a chic wedding dress from us, a French woman will ask for something sophisticated, sophisticated, but the Czechs can only be pleased with the most ordinary models with almost no decoration or decoration.”
The favorite shoes of the Czechs are “frog” slippers. They are sold in almost all stores and shopping centers. Toads are offered in all colors and styles: Czech manufacturers even produce toads... with fur!
Similar to their mentality, Czech clothing is as sporty and democratic as possible. The ideal for them is the simplest. What influenced such preferences of the residents of the Prague capital? The fact is that after the collapse of the socialist system, fashion in the Czech Republic came to a kind of crisis. After all, all the shoes and clothing that were produced in this country during Soviet times were exported to the countries of the Soviet Union. True, in our time the Czechs themselves admit that not a trace remains of the former quality. A lot of time has passed, a lot has changed. But even today, the Czech Republic, despite certain difficulties, is actively exporting to Moscow, St. Petersburg and Kyiv.
Few people did not suffer from the collapse of the socialist camp. Only true experts in their field have survived in the textile industry. Almost all Prague masters are middle-aged people; they never cease to be amazed at the young age of Russian designers. The age of fashion designers is also one of the prerequisites for Czech style. After all, a thing invented by a young designer will be fundamentally different from a thing designed by an older designer.
Therefore, the products of Prague clothing stores are special in that cotton items (jeans, knitwear, jackets) predominate here, both in pure form and cotton mixed, for example, with wool. In addition, the prices for clothes in this country are not high at all, so here you can choose and buy a fashionable wardrobe at budget prices.
Every September, Prague Fashion Weekend takes place on Prague's Hradcany Square. On the square, at the entrance to Prague Castle, there are fashion tents. Designer collections are showcased on the main catwalk and in showrooms. Fashion shows start on the square every full hour.
Fashion in Prague: history and modernity
It is generally accepted that a certain style of each city develops over years and even centuries. This also applies to fashion in the modern Czech Republic. The clothes of Prague residents are subject not only to recent trends. It was influenced by all the past centuries. Back in the 16th century, there is evidence of how modest the Czech woman was in her attire: “She is dressed in rough clothes made of cloth, decorated in places with silk ribbon. Over it is worn a short fur coat and a scarf. The underwear consists of wool, the skirt is gathered. Instead of shoes, she wears wooden shoes or boots. Her headdress is an ordinary, rather rough hat, from under which a white scarf peeks out, her head is wrapped in such a way that only her face is visible.
At home, ladies took off their “walking skirt,” which was a cloak worn over a dress divided into a skirt and bodice. The white insert of the shirt, which was worn underneath, was visible through the bodice. True, there were very few such shirts in Czech homes at that time. Thus, the tradeswoman Marta Peskova from Prague inherited only one shirt (16th century). Another Prague woman in 1519 boasted of three shirts. And only from the middle of the 16th century the number of shirts increased, but there were still few of them. Thus, the Czech Zikmund Freulich from Freidenfels, who died in 1582, left only 8 shirts in his rich inheritance, despite the fact that he owned four houses.
Czechs began to wear fashionable European clothes only after the resumption of ties with Western Europe. Business attire in the Czech Republic is less formal than in the West. However, the price and quality of clothing often directly depend on the employee’s official position.
True, with the Czech Republic today not everything is so transparent. The number of shopping centers per capita in this country has already reached the European average. It is planned to build 3 more large-scale shopping centers with clothes from global manufacturers at low prices, and the first one has already begun to operate.
Products will be presented in stores at a significant discount (from 30 to 70%), although it is worth noting that these will be products from somewhat outdated collections.
In everyday life, Czech men most often wear trousers with a sweater or shirt. Women dress the same or in dull dresses. If you plan to go to an expensive restaurant, then it is customary to dress as if for a formal meeting.
Some analysts believe that the Czechs are copying the American model, so popular in the 80s of the last century, when a lot of sales centers appeared everywhere in America. For the Czech Republic, such a project will come to life for the first time.
Tourist interest in Prague shopping is growing every year, and world-famous fashion houses have long seen the prospect of the Czech capital as an excellent sales market. There are those who already today take advantage of the fact that the Czech Republic is always full of tourists, and try to please them with the latest fashion trends. It turns out that Prague in the future has every chance of becoming one of the most advanced and fashionable European capitals.

- Put on a windbreaker and walk across the Charles Bridge
It is difficult to name the exact number of bridges in Prague... It is believed that there are 18 of them. Each bridge has a history and legend. Each is marked by a specific architecture. Therefore, wandering along the bridges of Prague is like a free tour on which you can explore the past! Charles Bridge is the most famous and oldest bridge of Prague, its symbol and calling card! Of course, it is impossible to see all the bridges in Prague, but the Charles Bridge is definitely worth a visit!

They gather every day on the Charles Bridge. There are also many souvenir sellers and artists here. You can just take a walk and feel the atmosphere of tourist Prague.

Here you can find the famous Old Town Hall with an astronomical clock dating back to 1338, the Church of St. Nicholas, the monument to Jan Hus, the Kinski Palace, the Tyn Church and the House of the Stone Bell.
- Drink mulled wine to warm up
The tradition of leisurely drinking mulled wine and warming up with this drink even in the autumn coolness has been preserved in the Czech Republic for many years. In Prague, this drink is made especially tasty and aromatic. This only happens here!

Residents of Prague assure that it is best to come here in the evening, when it is illuminated by lights and when there is some special mysticism present here...
- Get some fresh air in the parks
They say that Prague is an open-air museum, which is distinguished by a large number of parks. They are all well-groomed and cozy. We recommend taking a walk through the gardens of Prague Castle, Kampa Island and Petřín. The Wallenstein Gardens will not leave anyone indifferent!
- Look at autumn Prague from above
To do this, you should go to Petrin Hill. If you don't like to walk, you can go up there by cable car. But it’s better to walk along the orchards... At the top of Petřín there is a copy of the Eiffel Tower, which offers the most beautiful views of the city! Until October you can still see the roses blooming in the rose garden.
- Feel the luxury of palaces and castles
In Prague itself and its surroundings there are many beautiful castles, each of which has its own destiny and history. Undoubtedly, Prague Castle, located in the very capital of the Czech Republic, is incomparably beautiful.
Křivoklát Castle is another ancient castle located near Prague.
Also, if you have the opportunity, visit Mniszek pod Brdy - this estate is famous for its black beer.
Loučeni is a popular baroque castle, which was even included in the Guinness Book of Records thanks to its labyrinths.

Prague is also famous for its restaurants, which serve traditional dishes and fine wines. It is advisable to choose a place with beautiful views of the city and be sure to book a table by the window. Sample traditional Czech dishes and enjoy a glass of wine or beer.

Winter comes to the Czech Republic slowly. The streets become cool, rainy, damp and gray. Although the grayness goes away already in the first days of December, when. In several days the city is transforming: lights, lanterns, aromas of mulled wine and cinnamon are everywhere. And red roofs and viburnum berries cheerfully peek out from under the snow... Everything is like in Christmas movies.
There is just enough snow to cover the roofs of houses.
Does it make sense to go here in winter? How many Russian tourists frozen to death in a fierce Czech snowstorm? Should I take a spare fur coat and high boots with me? Is it true that all museums are closed in winter, and shops in November close forever until spring? If you do go, where should you go? What can you see in the capital of palaces and beer? Make yourself comfortable, now we’ll talk about everything in detail.
But first, for inspiration, a short video from winter Prague:
A few words about the weather
The Czech winter is very kind to tourists: it doesn’t spoil you with heat, but it doesn’t intimidate you with frost either. The weather is quite suitable for walking around the city: the coldest night here will be -8°C, but during the day the temperature can rise to +5°C. In December it gets dark already at 16.30, in February it is light until 17.30. There is just enough snow to lightly decorate the houses. There are no blizzards, blizzards or snowdrifts in the Czech Republic.
The weather is mild even in January.
Winter in Prague cool, humid and damp. Sometimes the winds can get really wild. Rains also happen often. By our standards, the weather is reminiscent of the end of a particularly rainy November. Therefore, a strong umbrella, a light hat, waterproof shoes and a windproof jacket are what Necessarily you need to take it with you.
Clothes you need to take a warm, comfortable and versatile one: so that you can walk along windy streets all day and sit in a restaurant in the evening. Shoes It is advisable to choose a thick and flat sole. Our young ladies, of course, are used to wearing heels in snow, rain, and the height of a tsunami, but you can’t run on slippery/wet paving stones in heels for a long time. Although if you decide to celebrate the New Year in the Czech Republic, then a pair of elegant shoes and a dress, of course, will be needed.

St. Nicolas day. Walking distance to Prague.
Elina (32 years old, Tallinn):
“We gave up on the winter holidays. Still, a sudden change in climate is not very suitable for children, so we chose the Czech Republic: you can walk for a long time, it still won’t lead to frostbite.
We took the children to the skating rinks several times: 30-60 crowns and three tons of children's happiness. My husband and I really liked the skating rink on the roof (Harp Gallery) - we have never seen anything like it anywhere else. By the way, admission there is free, we only paid for renting skates. If you want to save money, bring your own, because... rent costs 40-60 CZK per hour.
You can also take the kids to the Toy Museum (Jiřská 4, Prague 1) and the Lego Museum (Národní 31, Prague 1). My daughter was simply stunned when she saw the Barbie collection, and even my husband was interested in the Lego museum. I would like to note one more point: in the toy museum you can take photographs for free, but in the Lego museum you will have to pay extra for photos.”
Czech meat-eater. Why aren't our mummers?
What is shopping like in Czech?
Best in winter: right here sales begin. The first wave is from mid-December to January 1-3. The beginning of the second wave occurs in , and it will end in mid-February.
Winter sales are the best of the year. Clothes, shoes, electronics and all sorts of New Year and Christmas souvenirs can be bought for literally half the price. Discounts are up to 80%.
Czech online stores such as Kasa.cz, Alza.cz, Mall.cz are also participating in the sales. The only caveat: it is advisable to know the approximate prices before sale. Feedback from tourists suggests that some sellers hang up a “75% discount” sign, but the price does not change at all.
During winter sales, almost the entire population of the Czech Republic goes shopping.
Varvara (28 years old, Moscow):
“Winter Prague, of course, is beautiful and all that, but my friends and I were only on a sightseeing tour. All the rest of the time - . We bought sweaters at C&A Moda: there were 50% discounts, how can we resist? Gifts for mom and mother-in-law. It turns out that there are discounts on porcelain in winter too! Well, of course, my beloved, I had to pamper myself: .
Another similar trip is planned for 2015: I want to choose a handbag for myself, and to go with it, shoes, a coat - everything as it should be.”
It's simply impossible to pass by.
Where to refresh yourself after a long excursion?
Here it is, real happiness for the male stomach! , juicy meat, aromatic sauces, smoked meats, ... What else do you need after the frosty air on your next excursion? And the famous Czech beer? You tell your wife that you want to know the original Czech traditions and calmly go to the bar. Now at your disposal there are a few hours until the wife suspects something is wrong. And during this time you can do so much...
Interior decoration of the Michal restaurant.
It is very convenient to please your stomach in such establishments:
- restaurants:“Michal”, “U Modre Kachnicky”, “U Bansethů”, “Klášterní pivovar”, “Zvonařka”, “U dvou kocek”;
It’s best to try the assorted meats “Česká bašta”, “Brewer-style goulash according to the cook Dousha’s recipe” here. - budget cafes:"Peklo" on the street. Vodičkova, 39, “Steak Hračanská”, “V Cipu”, “Lokal”;
- dining rooms:"Obcerstveni", "Jidelna", "Lahudky";
Here you can feed yourself on 100-200 crowns per day. First courses - from 25 CZK, second - from 45 CZK. - breweries:“Pivovar U Medvídků”, “U Kalicha”, “U svateho Tomase”, “Pivovarský dům”.
Is your meal accompanied by live music? Keep in mind this will add 30-50 CZK to your total bill.
Gregory (29 years old, Nizhny Novgorod):
“Tourists, of course, spoil Prague. Even decent establishments, such as “Pivovarský dům”, do not hesitate to add extra dishes to the bill. Nowadays it’s better not to go to well-hyped restaurants with all sorts of shows and dressed-up staff - it will be beautiful, expensive too, but it’s unlikely to be tasty.
In most establishments there will be a persistent aroma of beer and cigarettes, so it’s worth choosing for lunch with children in advance - by the time you find a suitable place, you’ll work up an appetite a hundred times over.
To choose places for breakfast or dinner, I constantly read reviews on travel sites. The main thing here is to always look at the date, because... In recent years, some things have changed in both prices and quality. My best finds: the coffee shop “Ebel Сoffee House” and the old beer hall “U Cerneho Vola”, I strongly recommend it!”
Winter prices: when to go to save money?
As soon as it starts, tours to the Czech Republic go off with a bang. And they stand accordingly at this time. Want to save money? Then go see the Charles Bridge at the end of winter. February, for example - time for discounts and last minute travel packages(30-40% discount). The influx of tourists is subsiding, so... But on New Year's Eve, the cost of the tour increases by about 100 EUR per person.
Gingerbread houses, the real ones.
To extend the charm, buy for the return trip Alena Ezhkova’s book “77 Prague Legends”. Firstly, a book is much better than a magnet. And secondly, with it you can return to the Czech Republic for a short time at any time.
It is generally customary to return to this country. Prague is like a parent’s home: it’s cozy, there are always delicious smells and hearty food, but it’s all so... old. Believe me, here worth a visit in winter. At a minimum, in order to.
- Trynd..? Tyrn..? Trd... what?!!
- Come and find out at the same time.
I will not describe the beauty of Prague in my review, you need to see it with your own eyes))) I will briefly describe those points that may be of interest to those who are just going to Prague.
About travel agencies. Let me start by saying that we chose the travel agency by chance. Initially, we planned to depart on May 10 and on April 2 we paid 50% of the cost of the tour at the Fantasy Tour company; we really liked the Czech Republic-Germany tour. Well, again, we didn’t find any negative reviews about the travel agency on the Internet. True, the nice girl at the travel agency warned us that the May holidays would not end yet on May 10 and problems with the hotel might arise, but they promised to call us within 3 days and tell us everything. Nothing, as they say, foreshadowed... But 3 days passed, and we still didn’t get a call. On the fifth day we called ourselves. It turned out that there were no hotel rooms for the tour we had chosen, we agreed to any other tour, just to fly out on May 10 (I had a dream to celebrate my birthday in Prague). Another 3 days passed... And again we called, and again the Annas were told that there were chances and they were looking for options for us. As a result, we took the money, and since 10 days were wasted, we couldn’t find anything on the planned date in other travel agencies (they told us in a sympathetic voice: “If only 2 days earlier...”). But we did not despair, but postponed the vacation to a week later (and I said goodbye to the dream).
This time we went to Amigo-S, chose the Prague Fairy Tale tour, by plane with Czech Airlines, the Olshanka Hotel (there were no other options).
We arrived well, we were met at the airport and taken to our hotels. There were four of us in Olshanka, my friend and I and 2 other tourists. BUT... at the hotel it turned out that the rooms were not reserved for us. "We've arrived!" - we thought. The hotel staff contacted the travel agency themselves to clarify the circumstances. After 5 minutes we were called to the phone. The employee of the host company apologized and reassured us that everything was fine, we were replaced with a better hotel located in the center, they just didn’t have time to warn us. After another 5 minutes, the director of this company, who was nearby, came to us, apologized again, explained everything again and put us in the minibus that returned for us. The second hotel turned out to be Majestic Plaza 4*, next to Wenceslas Square. “It happens!” - we were happy to check into our room. It turned out that it happens)))
In general, we did not have any comments about the company.
About the hotel. The Majestic Plaza hotel is a normal 4* hotel, the rooms are good, the soundproofing is excellent, they cleaned and changed towels every day, varied breakfasts, there are few Russian tourists, the hotel staff do not speak Russian, they communicated in English.
Transport.
About the metro. We bought tickets from vending machines near the metro, keep in mind that the machines only accept small change. On weekends trains run every 8-10 minutes, on weekdays about 6 minutes. In order for the doors to open and you to enter the carriage, you need to press the button on the doors. Same thing for exit.
About trams. You can get to any part of the city by trams; they run on a minute-to-minute schedule. Prague residents prefer trams to the metro. According to our guide, if there are empty seats, the driver waits until everyone is seated and only then drives off. You need to get up only after the tram has stopped.
Money exchange. Money was changed on the street. Panska, which starts from Na Prikope street, there are several exchangers there, Arabs exchange at a favorable rate and without commission. They exchange euros, dollars, rubles and other currencies. The rate was 60-64 crowns for 100 rubles. In Moscow, you can exchange at the same rate at the exchange office on the street. Nikolskaya 17 in the Slavic Center, rate 1 crown - 1.56 rubles.
Tax Free. The check indicated 19%; in fact, at the airport they received about 2/3 of this amount. They didn’t look at our things at the airport.
Duty Free. Beer and Becherovka are cheaper in stores. The choice of beer is very small, we only saw 2 types.
Night walks. We walked at night completely calmly, one day at one in the morning we were looking for Prague Venice (and, strangely enough, we found it). The center is full of homeless people and strange-looking citizens, but no one bothers tourists.
Souvenirs. Souvenirs were bought at the souvenir market, if I’m not mistaken on Rytirska street (or parallel) next to Wenceslas Square. The market is open during the day.
Organ music. We went to an orchestra concert with an organ at St. Nicholas Cathedral on Old Town Square. A ticket for an hour-long concert cost 490 CZK. There are also orchestra concerts there without an organ, and they are cheaper. You can listen to the organ for free in the city's churches during services. The schedule usually hangs at the entrance to the temple. Services are mainly held on Saturdays. According to our guide, many Prague residents go to churches solely to listen to the organ, which plays at the beginning and end of the service. After the organ plays, most of the people get up and leave, and only after that the service continues. Some churches also give concerts. The feeling cannot be expressed in words, the hour flew by in a flash, the sound is incomparable (I listened to the organ in the House of Music on Paveletskaya, it cannot be compared in any way).
Restaurants. We liked U certa (At the Devil), there is a statue of the devil at the entrance, the address is Nerudova 4, Praha 1 (on the Hradcan side), we went there purposefully and were not disappointed. We accidentally found the excellent restaurant Skorepka, Skorepka 1, Praha 1 (http://www.skorepka.cz/ru/). As it turns out, it’s in the guidebooks. There is a menu in Russian, the waiters understand Russian, it’s tasty and not expensive. On the first evening we ordered Khryushkino smoked knee, 1.2 kg, we barely managed to finish it. We went there more than once, tried a lot of things, everything was very tasty. I also liked the Beer House on Lipova 15, Prague 2. At lunchtime and in the evening there are queues (but we didn’t stand for more than 20 minutes) and they can seat someone at a table. They brew their own beer there. We tried 8 varieties - a pure perversion designed for tourists. But you can try it just for fun. You need to order 8 samples of beer and a glass of water, and drink water after each beer to understand the taste. As a result, my friend drank light, and I drank mixed. All 3 restaurants are about the same price category, an average dinner for two with 2-4 glasses of beer cost us from 500 to 850 rubles.
We also went to the street. Stepanska, where our hotel was located, has 2 restaurants. Unfortunately, I don’t remember the names and exact address. In the first one (the next house after the Majestic Plaza hotel) we ate delicious pasta and drank local wine, taking a break from beer and meat. It was heartwarming. I didn’t like the second restaurant further down the street, opposite St. Stephen’s Cathedral. At the entrance there is a menu in Russian, in the restaurant itself for some reason only in Czech and English, the portions are small, the prices are high. Instead of pasta with creamy sauce, they brought pasta with sour cream. It’s better to stand in line at the Beer House, which is a stone’s throw away.
I also didn’t like Kolkovna, on the street. V Kolkovna. If a table is not reserved, you will sit near the door at high tables or at the counter. Menu in Czech and English. The hot food was brought in 15-20 minutes, we waited 40 minutes for our dessert. The dessert really turned out to be very tasty and we forgave them the 40 minutes of waiting.
Tips. We left 7-10% of the count, somewhere around 30-50 CZK (45-75 rubles), in Skorepka they thanked us 3 times for a 50 CZK tip.
Five reasons to go to the Czech Republic in autumn and winter. What to do in the Czech Republic during this period.
Czech Republic. For some, this is an opportunity to wander through its streets, enjoying the feeling of moving through time, as if being in the Middle Ages, to see various palaces and churches, striking in their size and splendor. For some, this is a temptation to enjoy the delights of local cuisine, washing down delicious dishes with excellent Czech beer. Are there many reasons to spend your autumn holidays in the Czech Republic? Let's try to find the main advantages of holidays in the Czech Republic in the autumn-winter season.
1. Inexpensive.
The tourism season in the Czech Republic begins in April and ends in September. But this fact does not mean at all that starting from October there is absolutely no need to go to the Czech Republic. Holidays in the Czech Republic, starting from October, will cost tourists less than during the season. 2. Convenient. It is not necessary to fly to the Czech Republic by plane; those who prefer land transport can go by train. By the way, this is a fairly common occurrence. I am glad that there is no language barrier, since a large number of Russian speakers are employed in the service sector. For accommodation, you can choose either a hotel room, an apartment or a room; the private sector will cost less. Well, in terms of transportation, the choice is huge: this is a regular public- fun for everyone. Three-person compartments with a washbasin and sleeping places on three floors are not as comfortable as a 3-hour plane flight.
3. Architecture and art. Czech cities are rightfully considered one of the most beautiful cities in all of Europe. Prague, divided into 2 parts by the Charles Bridge, attracts the attention of tourists with such attractions as Wenceslas Square, Old Town Square, the Dancing House, Prague Castle, St. Vitus Cathedral and many others. But not only the capital of the Czech Republic is famous for its architectural sights. If you are interested in palaces, go to the provinces. And in the town of Karlovy Vary you will not only fully enjoy the exquisite architecture of the 18th century, but also feel a truly unique atmosphere created by the mineral springs located here. Art lovers should not miss the opportunity to visit the Franz Kafka Museum, the Alfons Mucha Museum, and appreciate the extravagant creations of David Cerny. You can read about the Czech Republic and where else you can go from Prague.
5. Beer and cuisine. It is impossible to visit the Czech Republic without trying the local beer. The Czechs are skilled brewers, true masters of their craft. In the Czech Republic, everyone will find a foamy drink to suit their taste: dark, light, sweet, bitter. To complete the experience, it is better to taste beer in pubs where locals gather, rather than in restaurants designed specifically for tourists. Firstly, beer will cost less in a pub, and secondly, only there you can feel the atmosphere of the real Czech Republic. Czech cuisine consists of dishes that go well with Czech beer: a huge assortment of meat dishes, variously prepared potatoes, fried cheese. Seafood is not very popular. Pay attention to the serving size. Two people can be completely satisfied with one.

Weather in the Czech Republic in autumn. September in Prague welcomes guests with almost summer weather. You can slightly feel the approach of autumn - rain is possible occasionally, but in general, the weather is dry and clear. There is no longer a relaxing heat; on the contrary, pleasant freshness gives vigor for excursions and educational trips. At this time, it’s nice to walk along the Prague streets, admiring the architecture and visiting numerous cafes from time to time. At first September in the Czech Republic wine holidays begin, and tours to the Czech Republic in the fall are a great opportunity to find out what wine real Czech young wine
October in the Czech Republic year to year does not happen. It can be warm and clear, or maybe with rain. And then autumn comes into its own. But it is in October that the vegetation becomes fabulously beautiful. Red-yellow-green foliage is pleasing to the eye. Centuries-old Czech castles look even more beautiful and majestic against the background of autumn landscapes. Many couples in love buy tours to the Czech Republic at this time to enjoy the charm of golden autumn and spend time in.
The weather in the Czech Republic in November can change greatly during the day. From snowfall to thaw, and vice versa. At this time, the flow of tourists is in decline, due to which prices for tours to the Czech Republic are very attractive. Prices are also falling. Considering the high level of service in Czech health resorts, November is the time for those who want to save money. Visit museums and art galleries. At this time there is no excess of tourists, and you can contemplate the exhibits you like without haste. Don't leave the country without trying the real thing.
