Czech Republic: When to Go
PRAGUE
Avoid crowds and heat exhaustion by booking late Spring or catching the last rays in October. Both are busy times of year for festivals and cultural events. If you fancy a Christmas break, wrap up warm and take advantage of clear streets and off-season prices. What could be more festive than being serenaded by musicians in the Old Town Square beneath the huge Moldavian Christmas tree with a glass of Medovina, a honey-infused mulled wine.
May-June: every year the Prague Spring International Music Festival is a major date on the international classical music scene. A wealth of world-class concerts championing home-grown composers in venues throughout the city.
October: Four + Four Days in Motion (Annual Festival of Theatre in Prague). An eight-day extravaganza of drama from around the world staged in offbeat settings.
