Climate

The Czech Republic is located in the temperate zone and has four distinct seasons. The winters are moderately cold, the summers warm.

The best time to visit the Czech Republic is from May to September, when the weather is warm and all sights (castles, museums, sports and recreational facilities) are open. In spring (end of March to May) and in autumn (September to November) the weather is very changeable, usually cooler and rainy. In winter (December to March) you will probably find everything covered in snow, which is very appealing. And it's the right time for skiing or the other indoor activities!
