Getting There and When to Go

Getting to Prague from the UK is incredibly simple, with regular connections from northern hubs like Manchester and Liverpool. The city is a year-round destination, though most travellers prefer the spring and early autumn months when the weather is mild enough for long, comfortable strolls through the historic streets. Winter can be quite cold, but the city takes on a magical, atmospheric quality that is well worth the brisk temperatures.

While you won’t find beaches here, Prague makes up for it with its incredible scenery and riverside walks. The city is built for exploring on foot, with winding alleys and historic architecture at every turn. You will find a wide variety of dining options, from traditional local taverns to modern cafes.
