The New Year’s period is lively in Prague, with fireworks and festive gatherings. From early January onward, the pace slows dramatically, and the streets are far quieter. Snow is possible, especially in the first half of the month, turning the Old Town and castle district into postcard-perfect scenes. Days are short, with the sun setting before 5 pm, so it’s best to plan sightseeing around indoor attractions such as museums and historic cafés.

Outside the capital, Brno and Český Krumlov offer a similarly wintry experience, often with even quieter streets. This is the best time for those who enjoy a calm atmosphere, frozen riverside walks, and the possibility of snowy rooftops without large tourist crowds.

February is usually the driest winter month, though temperatures remain low. Crisp, sunny days make for pleasant walks if you’re dressed warmly. Tourist levels stay minimal, so iconic sights like Charles Bridge can be enjoyed almost in solitude.

Snow can still be found in higher elevations, making it a good time for skiing in Czech mountain resorts. Cultural venues in Prague are active, with winter concerts and theatre, offering an atmospheric way to enjoy the city after dark.
