Public transport is really good in Prague, you can get around easily from anywhere to anywhere. Nice neighbourhoods that aren't too touristy: Holešovice, Vinohrady, Vršovice Best time to visit: probably sometime in spring, but weather has been really variable over the past few years. So early spring might still be very cold. Click the image to join the conversation. 5. Go Ice Skating. Going ice skating is one of the best activities to enjoy in winter and Prague has many ice rinks. The two prettiest rinks are the rink at Ovocny Trh, just behind the Estates Theatre, and the Čapadlo Ice Rink with views of Prague Castle. Another fantastic time to visit the Czech Republic is for the Christmas holidays. The Prague Christmas Market is one of the best in the world, and the entire country oozes with holiday charm. Of course, this means Christmas season is not the cheapest time to visit and the crowds will still be quite absurd in the market squares. Planning your visit to the Czech Republic for the fall allows you to avoid the worst of crowds. This means shorter lines and in my eyes, a much more pleasant experience. 4. Hotels in the Czech Republic Are Cheaper. If you are on a budget, moving your trip to the shoulder season is a great way to save money.

Cherie, I’m making my first December visit to Prague this year, so I can’t help with the Christmas markets. But do look beyond Old Town Square. The trams are cheap and easy to use and once you get away from Old Town Square, Charles Bridge and the Castle you really see a different Prague — cheaper and more fun :) A: Some of the best places to visit in Europe in December include Prague, the Canary Islands, and various European cities.
