What you gain in July
- ↑Hottest month: 26°C days, long warm evenings, and beer gardens in full swing across Letná, Riegrovy sady, and Kampa Island
- ↑Charles Bridge at 5am: the only time to see Prague's most iconic scene without crowds — worth the early alarm
- ↑Outdoor concerts, open-air cinema, and festivals throughout the month — the cultural calendar at its fullest
What you sacrifice
- ↓Peak prices and peak crowds: Charles Bridge can be impassable at midday, Old Town queues for everything
- ↓Accommodation sold out weeks ahead at the most popular hotels — book months in advance for July stays
- ↓Heat makes the compact medieval streets uncomfortable in the early afternoon
