Running in Prague: A Seasonal Guide
Prague's oceanic climate shapes the running experience across all four seasons. The mild climate makes year-round running possible, though each season has its own character.
Peak season (May and June): Expect the best combination of temperature, daylight, and dry conditions. These months reward runners who plan their weekly mileage around the weather.
