What you gain in April
- ↑Petřín Hill cherry blossoms (mid-April): the hillside park above Malá Strana turns pink — one of the most beautiful urban springtime scenes in Central Europe
- ↑Easter markets on Old Town Square and Wenceslas Square: Czech handicrafts, svařák (mulled wine), and traditional food under the Astronomical Clock
- ↑16°C afternoons ideal for long walking days through the historic districts without summer heat
What you sacrifice
- ↓Easter weekend is the most crowded weekend of spring — Charles Bridge and Old Town Square at near-summer capacity
- ↓34mm of rain across the month: some grey days and wet cobblestones are inevitable
- ↓Prices rising faster than spring progresses — April is the last affordable shoulder month before summer rates kick in
