What you gain in August
- ↑Equal best weather to July: 26°C, long days, and the summer social scene on the Vltava embankment in full swing
- ↑Early mornings belong to the city: Charles Bridge and the castle district before 7am are nearly tourist-free
- ↑Beer gardens at their peak — Prague's outdoor culture at its most lively in Letná and along the river
What you sacrifice
- ↓Crowds unchanged from July: Old Town essentially a tourist theme park in August daytime hours
- ↓European school holidays: peak of family tourism, queues at Josefov, the castle, and the Old Town Hall tower
- ↓Prices remain at annual highs throughout — no relief from July rates until September
