The beer gardens on Letn&aacute; and in Riegrovy sady run until late, the islands and riverbanks fill with people who live here, open-air cinemas appear in courtyards, and the free concerts start in the baroque gardens. Nothing about the city is hidden in summer &mdash; which is exactly the problem in the middle of July.<\/p>\n<p class=\"pw-lead\">The trick is knowing where locals go when the centre is full: the swimming spots on the edge of the city, the parks nobody photographs, the trails an hour away by train. This page has the month-by-month picture, the season&rsquo;s fixed dates, and the places worth the tram ride.<\/p>\n<div class=\"pw-nav\"><a href=\"#pw-months\">Month by month<\/a><a href=\"#pw-dates\">Summer dates<\/a><a href=\"#pw-gardens\">Beer gardens<\/a><a href=\"#pw-water\">Water &amp; swimming<\/a><a href=\"#pw-fest\">Festivals &amp; nights<\/a><a href=\"#pw-out\">Out of the city<\/a><a href=\"#pw-food\">Eating outside<\/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>Summer, month by month<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<p><a class=\"pw-more\" href=\"https:\/\/praguehints.com\/category\/prague-summer-locations\/\">All summer articles &rarr;<\/a><\/div>\n<p class=\"pw-sub\">June is the one to aim for: everything is open, the light is at its longest and the crowds have not peaked.

The days are longest, everything is open and the crowds have not peaked. July is the hottest and busiest. August is a good compromise &mdash; Czechs are on holiday, the festivals are on, and the last week starts to feel like autumn.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>How hot does it actually get?<\/summary>\n<div class=\"a\">\n<p>A normal summer day is 23&ndash;26&deg;C. Several times a summer it goes past 30&deg;C, and the old buildings hold the heat. Air conditioning is far from universal in Prague hotels and apartments, so check the listing rather than assuming.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>Where do people swim?<\/summary>\n<div class=\"a\">\n<p>Not in the Vltava in the centre. Locals use the reservoirs and lakes outside the city, the outdoor pools, and the natural pool at Divok&aacute; &Scaron;&aacute;rka. <a href=\"https:\/\/praguehints.com\/swimming-spots-around-prague\/\">Swimming spots around Prague<\/a> has the full set with transport notes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>Is the centre unbearable in July?<\/summary>\n<div class=\"a\">\n<p>Between about 10:00 and 18:00 on Charles Bridge and Old Town Square, close to it. The city is still very manageable if you shift your day: sights early, park or river in the afternoon, centre again after eight when the day-trippers have gone.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>What are the July public holidays?<\/summary>\n<div class=\"a\">\n<p>5 and 6 July &mdash; Cyril and Methodius Day and Jan Hus Day. Shops and offices close, museums and sights generally open, and the city is noticeably quieter. See the <a href=\"https:\/\/praguehints.com\/prague-public-holidays-guide-for-tourists\/\">public holidays guide<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>Is anything closed in August?<\/summary>\n<div class=\"a\">\n<p>Some smaller restaurants and pubs close for two or three weeks while their owners take holiday, and the main concert halls are between seasons. Everything a visitor is likely to want is open; a specific pub you read about might not be.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>What is a beer garden, exactly?<\/summary>\n<div class=\"a\">\n<p>An outdoor bar in a park with trestle tables and a serving hatch: you queue, pay cash or card at the counter, and carry it to a table yourself. No reservations, no service, and it closes when the weather does. <a href=\"https:\/\/praguehints.com\/prague-beer-garden-guide-for-first-time-visitors\/\">The guide<\/a> covers the etiquette.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"pw-sec\">\n<div class=\"pw-head\">\n<div>\n<div class=\"pw-lbl\">Keep reading<\/div>\n<h2>Every summer article<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<p><a class=\"pw-more\" href=\"https:\/\/praguehints.com\/category\/prague-summer-locations\/\">Summer archive &rarr;<\/a><\/div>\n<p class=\"pw-sub\">The archive holds everything published on the season, newest first.<\/p>\n<div class=\"pw-seasons\"><a href=\"https:\/\/praguehints.com\/winter-in-prague\/\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"s\">Winter in Prague<\/div>\n<div class=\"t\">Markets, snow, warm rooms<\/div>\n<p><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/praguehints.com\/spring-in-prague\/\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"s\">Spring in Prague<\/div>\n<div class=\"t\">Blossom and Easter<\/div>\n<p><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/praguehints.com\/summer-in-prague\/\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"s\">Summer in Prague<\/div>\n<div class=\"t\">Beer gardens and river<\/div>\n<p><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/praguehints.com\/autumn-in-prague\/\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"s\">Autumn in Prague<\/div>\n<div class=\"t\">Wine, colour and quiet<\/div>\n<p><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/praguehints.com\/category\/christmas-in-prague\/\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"s\">Christmas in Prague<\/div>\n<div class=\"t\">The December archive<\/div>\n<p><\/a><\/div>\n<p class=\"pw-note\" style=\"margin-top:16px\">Weather figures on this page are typical values for Prague, not forecasts.
