The blossom on Pet&rcaron;&iacute;n arrives in the first half of April and lasts about ten days. The baroque gardens below the Castle &mdash; locked all winter &mdash; reopen. The Easter markets take over the same squares the Christmas ones left, and by the middle of May the beer gardens are full until dark.<\/p>\n<p class=\"pw-lead\">It is also the season that changes fastest. March can still be winter; May can be twenty-two degrees and packed. This page sorts it out: what happens in each of the three months, the dates worth planning around, where the blossom and the gardens actually are, and what to do when spring turns out to be rain.<\/p>\n<div class=\"pw-nav\"><a href=\"#pw-months\">Month by month<\/a><a href=\"#pw-dates\">Spring dates<\/a><a href=\"#pw-blossom\">Blossom &amp; gardens<\/a><a href=\"#pw-easter\">Easter<\/a><a href=\"#pw-fest\">Festivals<\/a><a href=\"#pw-out\">Outdoors<\/a><a href=\"#pw-couples\">Couples &amp; photos<\/a><a href=\"#pw-kids\">With kids<\/a><a href=\"#pw-practical\">Practical<\/a><a href=\"#pw-faq\">FAQ<\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"pw-sec\" id=\"pw-months\">\n<div class=\"pw-head\">\n<div>\n<div class=\"pw-lbl\">Timing<\/div>\n<h2>Spring, month by month<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<p><a class=\"pw-more\" href=\"https:\/\/praguehints.com\/category\/spring-in-prague\/\">All spring articles &rarr;<\/a><\/div>\n<p class=\"pw-sub\">Three months that barely resemble each other.

A warm March can pull it into late March; a cold one pushes it towards mid-April. Nobody can promise a date more than a fortnight out &mdash; <a href=\"https:\/\/praguehints.com\/when-cherry-blossoms-bloom-in-prague\/\">the blossom guide<\/a> explains how to read the year.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>Is April or May the better month?<\/summary>\n<div class=\"a\">\n<p>May is warmer, longer and greener, and it has the Prague Spring festival. April is cheaper, quieter and has the blossom. If the flowers are the point, come in April; if the evenings are, come in May.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>What happens over Easter?<\/summary>\n<div class=\"a\">\n<p>Markets on both main squares from mid-March, then a four-day weekend. Good Friday and Easter Monday are public holidays &mdash; shops close, sights mostly stay open. Monday morning is <a href=\"https:\/\/praguehints.com\/czech-easter-traditions-eggs-pomlazka-and-spring-customs\/\">poml&aacute;zkaaacute;zka<\/a> day, which is worth reading about before it happens to you.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>What is Witches&rsquo; Night?<\/summary>\n<div class=\"a\">\n<p>P&aacute;len&iacute; &ccaron;arod&ecaron;jnic, on 30 April: bonfires on hills and in gardens across the country to burn winter away. In Prague the biggest are on Pet&rcaron;&iacute;n and in the outer parks. It is free, informal and very local.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>Are the castles open yet?<\/summary>\n<div class=\"a\">\n<p>Most Czech castles and chateaux reopen through April, some only at weekends until May. Always check the individual castle before travelling &mdash; the <a href=\"https:\/\/praguehints.com\/category\/castles-around-prague\/\">castle guides<\/a> list opening seasons.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>How bad are the crowds?<\/summary>\n<div class=\"a\">\n<p>March is quiet, April is manageable, and May is one of the two busiest months of the year alongside September. In May, book restaurants and any Castle-area hotel weeks ahead, and start sightseeing before nine.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>What if it rains for three days?<\/summary>\n<div class=\"a\">\n<p>It might. The concert season is at its peak, the film festival runs in March, and the galleries and <a href=\"https:\/\/praguehints.com\/category\/prague-museums\/\">museums<\/a> are at their emptiest of the year.
