Best time to go to Prague

Prague stays true to its Eastern European roots in terms of weather – it’s a warm summer, frosty winter combination. Between June and August, it’s straw-hat territory, with plenty of sunshine and temperatures reaching around the mid-to-late teens. December to January sees the mercury hover at 1°C, and there’s plenty of the white stuff falling if you’re a fan of snow.

Passports & Visas

British citizens don’t need a visa to enter the Czech Republic but must have a valid passport. You can check your passport’s valid for Czech Republic using our handy tool. For the most up-to-date passport and visa info, visit www.gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice/czech-republic/entry-requirements.

Don't forget to arrange your travel money and insurance before you go.

Health & Safety

You should take out comprehensive travel and medical insurance to cover you while you’re away. If you’re travelling to the EU and you apply for a card now, you'll get a new UK Global Health Insurance Card (GHIC) instead of an EHIC. This entitles you to emergency medical treatment on the same terms as Czech nationals. It won’t, however, cover you for medical repatriation, ongoing medical treatment or non-urgent treatment. Visit www.nhs.uk/ehic for full details on what it covers. You do not need to apply for a GHIC if you already have an EHIC. Your EHIC remains valid in the EU until it expires. An EHIC or GHIC is free of charge. For the latest health and safety information, visit www.gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice/czech-republic/health
