Can anyone please let me know the 'typical' weather conditions in Prague
during February?
I'm guessing very cold, but not too cold to make a weekend break worthwhile?

Does anyone know if the major attractions open at that time of year?

TIA,
John

I can't answer this, but I'm sure that this information should all be
available on the Web, if you put suitable terms into a search engine.

I think they have "suffered" milder winters, like us, in the last decade.
Whether their media is predicting a severe winter, I don't know! What I do
know is that Prague is a great place. I have visited at Easter and it was
quite busy. I'm sure all of the cultural stuff will be open and the pubs
always are!

I haven't been in Prague in February, but I have been in Kosice (a long way
east) and in Munich and Vienna (south and west) and Berlin (north). In all
four it was bitterly cold, with ice on footpaths and lying snow, but not
unpleasant because it was dry cold and there was little wind. There were
quite a few sunny days. As long as you have plenty of warm clothing
(including boots, gloves and a hat) it should be fine.

The castle certainly is open in winter, though maybe not as long hours as in
summer. I expect that enough of the attractions will be open to keep you
busy.

I was in prague at the end of January and it was very cold with day
time temps below -10C. So dry that most snow evaporated. The river
froze which was a sight. There is so much to see there at anytime of
year and it is so cheap as long as you avoid curtain places.

I really recommend the Rough Guide- I spent three days in Prague and
used that guide extensively finding superb little bars and restaurants
all over the place away from the centre. Obviously difficult re what
is open but in every respect the guide was exceedingly useful. It did
not prepare me for the stunning architecture.
If you are staying in a reasonable hotel they will probably be able to
assist in a significant way.
I got a week pass for the trams and really roared around-similarly in
Budapest and Krakow. The most memorable event for me was dinner at a
little restaurant on the far side of Prague ( Petrin Hills or
something like that) and here we had a really fantastic spread for
very little plus a pianist from the Prague (Conservatoire?) who was
simply fantastic. The other sobering visit was to the church were the
SOE agents ended up after the assassination of Heydrich
Sadly, IMHO, a lot of damage has been done by Brits going over there
to get ratted. In terms of weather I would take the thermals; a good
quality gortex and,of course, really good thermal head protection.
Footwear to match.
