When it comes to tourism in Europe, there are numerous spots that come to mind. The likes of Paris, Milan, Barcelona, are the popular glamorous choices. On the other hand, the more traditional of the tourists prefer to choose from the likes of London, Rome, and Amsterdam. However, there are a few cities in Europe that appeal to the idiosyncrasies of a curious mind- ones that aren\u2019t moved by convenient and familiar places. Prague<\/a> is surely one of them. Nestled in the lap of the Vltava river, the Czech capital is the home to a hundred spires. It has witnessed its fair share of history while being quite intimate with the present day glitz and glamor. The days in Prague are for exploring the humble art galleries and the nights are for indulging in some of the best local beer and food. If you are planning to visit Prague in July, you are guaranteed some warm-weather revelry.<\/p>\n

Why is Prague in July a must-visit?<\/h2>\n

\"Prague<\/span> <\/p>\n

Prague has now carved a cozy place for itself in the European tourism map. It is seen as a place to explore art and historical tourism, as well as to recuse themselves from the humdrum of the other popular tourist destinations of Europe. July is typically peak season time in Prague, but that won\u2019t stop you from relishing the unique appeal of the city.<\/p>\n

The Czech Republic is situated a bit far away from the equator. This means that summers are quite soothing in Prague. The warmth also sets the locals free from their heated rooms, as they come together for festivities throughout the month. This is the best time to explore the treasures of the city on foot.The famous Bohemia Jazz Festival and the New Prague Dance festival are just some of the major events that take place in the city in July. Apart from that, the warm weather and longer daylight hours are ideal to get all of your sightseeing done during the day and then settling for a cold craft beer at a local pub.<\/p>\n

Prague weather in July<\/h2>\n

Prague is well into the summer zone in July. The weather is warm enough for you to completely ditch the coat during the day. At night, a scarf or a light jacket may be required. Rains are not unlikely during July. Be prepared for encountering 3 to 4 rainy days per week.<\/p>\n
