Bohemia in March

April through June offers Bohemia at its most pleasant. Temperatures hover around 15-20°C (60-70°F), perfect for walking cobblestone streets without sweating through your shirt. Prague's gardens bloom, castle courtyards come alive, and beer garden season begins in earnest. September and October bring similar weather with fewer crowds and autumn colors that transform the Bohemian countryside into something from a fairy tale. Summer (July-August) means peak tourist season, especially in Prague where Charles Bridge becomes nearly impassable at midday. But summer also brings outdoor concerts, longer daylight hours, and the full beer garden experience. Winter has its charms – Christmas markets in Prague's Old Town Square, mulled wine, and snow-dusted castles – but many smaller attractions close or reduce hours. Spring arrives late, often not until April, and can be unpredictable. Here's what locals know: May and September offer the sweet spot of good weather and manageable crowds. Book accommodations early for these months, especially in Český Krumlov where hotels fill up fast.
