Based on typical December conditions in Prague. Weather varies year to year — check the live forecast when you're within two weeks of your trip.
December brings deep winter chill to Prague, with highs near 36°F and lows around 28°F that bite hard on open Charles Bridge and Vltava embankments during holiday markets. Visitors often pack stylish boots without tread, then struggle on icy Castle District stairs and polished Old Town cobbles across about 13 precip days. Prague Castle and Wenceslas Square market circuits still look polished in insulated neutrals under a warm coat, while scarf and gloves make riverside fog manageable between café stops. Pack waterproof soles and layered knits so long stone climbs and market evenings stay comfortable when damp air sits near freezing.
