What you gain in November
- ↑Among the cheapest months for accommodation: rates drop close to January and February levels with the same tourist-free streets
- ↑Prague effectively crowd-free: the castle, Josefov, and Old Town museums accessible without booking, queues, or tour groups
- ↑Christmas market stalls assembling in late November: catch the setup atmosphere before the December crowds arrive
What you sacrifice
- ↓Grey and cold: 7°C highs, 3 hours of sunshine, and the city at its least photogenic of any month
- ↓38mm of rain and frequent overcast days — an indoor-heavy itinerary is advisable
- ↓Seasonal restaurants and boat operators closing for winter — reduced options on the river and in the parks
