Prague has become an incredibly popular year-round tourist destination. Despite winter might not be the best time to visit Prague because of chilly weather, hotels in Prague get packed in the period leading to Christmas and New Year. Prague has a lovely Christmas fair and New Year celebrations in Prague are famous world-over for their cheer and excellent Czech beer.
However, if you are more into sightseeing than partying the last night of the year away, visit Prague in spring, summer or autumn. And you really do not need to buy a Prague package tour from your favourite travel agent. Visiting Prague on your own is easy, fun and reasonably cheap.
