Autumn in Prague fascinates both tourists and locals. Many visit this European city to witness how thick, almost mystical fogs settle over residential areas and forests, enveloping the spires of gothic castles and Prague’s landscapes. In autumn, the city becomes less crowded, transforming into a serene beauty. The red and yellow leaves frame the narrow streets, romantic embankments, and parks. Visitors can admire how the sun paints the old buildings, while the foliage shifts to shades of honey, crimson, and saffron. It is best to plan a trip to Prague in the second half of September when the weather is still warm.
