What to Wear in Prague during July?

It is summer and afternoon temperatures tend to be comfortable to warm, however, nights can still be a bit chilly. 

Jeans and short sleeve shirts work well along with a pair of shorts for the warmer days. 

For the cooler nights and early mornings, you may need a windbreaker, a long-sleeved shirt or two, and perhaps a light sweater.

You should also pack an umbrella for those wet days and don’t forget a good pair of walking shoes.


Things to Do in Prague during July

Since the weather will be nice this month, you might want to consider going on a pay-what-you-wish walking tour in Prague. There are also hop-on hop-off bus tours you might enjoy instead!

The summer is also one of the best times to take a cruise down the Vltava River. Alternatively, you could spend some time in Petrin Park and maybe even see the view from Petrin Tower.

Another attraction you might want to visit is the Lennon Wall, a wall covered in graffiti which honors the life and legacy of musician John Lennon.

Since the nights will be more pleasant during the summer, we also recommend taking a Prague ghost tour!
