What to pack for Prague in April

Lows around 41°F. Goes under the shell when the wind picks up.

Wear one, dry one. Cotton stays wet all week here.

The layer you'll wear more than any other.

Lows hit 41°F and wind runs at 19 km/h, so a warm hat keeps your head from going numb.

Five-degree nights mean bare fingers get stiff fast on cobblestone streets.

UV index hits 6.2 and spring sun reflects off pale buildings everywhere.

Thirteen hours of daylight bounce off wet pavement after nine rain days a month.

Check ankles and, if there's a dog, paws and ears every night.

Cobblestones twist ankles and old stairs have no railings in narrow lanes.

This country runs on Type C or E. Get one with USB-C so you're not fighting over the single outlet.

Museum hours eat daylight and your phone dies before you leave the old town.

Set it up before you land. Signal drops for long stretches outside cities.

Overhead bins on flights to Prague fill fast, so carry-on means no checked line.

Walking tours last six hours and your day pack holds water, jacket, and camera.

Fits the overhead on every airline that matters. Skip the checked-bag line entirely.

Wind at 19 km/h cuts across the Vltava and through old town squares.

Cold stone floors in hostels and churches pull heat from your feet all day.

Tap water is safe, so a bottle cuts the cost of buying drinks all day.

One brick charges the laptop, phone, and camera.

Hotel and cafe wifi is shared with everyone else in the building. A VPN keeps your banking and email to yourself.

Busy train stations and crowded markets are where bags get lifted.

One bag splits into zones so you find clean socks without unpacking everything.

Laundry costs add up, so treating clothes once extends wear to two weeks.

Lows around 41°F. One blanket that packs small covers the car, the campsite and the beach at sunset.

Overnight trains run from Prague and noise-cancelling saves your sleep.

The high is only 59°F, and layers fail when you're walking for hours.

Altitude is low but UV index is high, and lips crack in cool dry air.

Prague draws crowds and shared surfaces are the default in budget accommodation.

One outlet serves a whole guesthouse, so short cables let you charge near your bed.

A few phrases go a long way. Ten minutes a day before you leave is plenty.

International travel means your passport gets checked constantly.

Shared dorms and hostel lockers need securing.

Humid bathrooms and shared showers mean a hanging bag keeps toiletries dry.

Train compartments and hostel bunks have thin pillows.
