What to Wear in Prague in May

What to wear in Prague in May means breathable layers with a light jacket for average temperatures between 48°F and 66°F. Grippy shoes and a packable rain shell cover spring showers on Old Town cobbles during about 12 precip days.

May warms Prague into pleasant walking weather, with highs near 66°F and lows around 48°F that still cool on open Charles Bridge and Letná after evening rain. Visitors often skip a rain shell for about 12 precip days, then get soaked hopping courtyards around Old Town Square while cobbles stay slick underfoot. Prague Castle circuits and Wenceslas Square loops are ideal in breathable polished-casual pieces, but Vltava embankment crosswinds make a light mid-layer smarter than tank-and-sandals only. Pack grippy soles and a packable shell so sudden showers do not cut short riverside or Castle District plans.
