The World is marked by a vast stretch of diverse topography, and when the mercury plummets, there is no shortage of places in this South Asian country to explore. During winter, several places are enhanced by a blanket of glistening white snow, whilst many more boast a blend of pleasant and fresh weather accompanied by mild sunshine.
True winter lasts from December to February in Prague, with January being the coldest month. Snow is rare in December, but temperatures are often below freezing for most of the winter. While this might sound unappealing to some, the truth is that visiting Prague in winter has many advantages.
Except for the second half of December – when lots of tourists come around to see the Christmas markets – winter is a cheap time to visit Prague, as hotels offer great deals, and flights tend to be cheaper. When it does snow, Prague transforms into a fairy-tale town, its red roofs covered in powdery white. Plus, winter means smaller crowds and a great opportunity to discover the magical cobblestone streets almost on your own.
