Prague in September

When to go

The Dvořák Prague International Music Festival runs through much of the month with the Rudolfinum as its main venue, and the Czech Statehood Day public holiday falls near the end of the month, so check both against your dates. The WMO climate table lists the month's daily high and low and its precipitation, so pack layers for a range of temperatures and some rain.
