The Czech Republic is famous for its very mild winters. In January, the average daytime temperature is -4C. Sometimes the thermometer shows + 4C and above. Snow falls, but not often and not abundantly. In this regard, the best clothing for tourists wishing to get to know the sights is represented by a warm woolen sweater, a waterproof jacket. There is no need to “warm up”, because there are practically no strong piercing winds or transcendental “minus”.
Do you dream to enjoy your ski holidays in the Czech Republic? In this case, get ready for the good news: in the mountains, the temperature is lower, so the probability of catching a positive temperature is minimal. For example, in the Giant Mountains, temperatures can reach -12C. However, there will be no penetrating cold in this case either.
Holidays in the Czech Republic in January
It is customary to celebrate the New Year in the Czech Republic with a good company, so there are a lot of options for tourists. Champagne and fireworks are obligatory attributes. In most cities in the Czech Republic, ordinary people are allowed to launch rockets and set fireworks only once a year - on the night of December 31 to January 1. The main fireworks take place on the first day of the year. Fireworks can be heard over Prague at 6 pm on January 1st, but it certainly attracts many people who want to enjoy this amazing beauty. The artillery battery can be placed on a barge moored on the Vltava River, and the best view is from the Letenka Pole. However, in order not to miss this part of the New Year's celebrations, it is important to study the festive program in advance.
In many cities of the Czech Republic, people gather in the central squares. The people can sing and dance. If you wish, you can visit the "dragon boat". The Prague Dragon Boat Club organizes New Year's walks on the Vltava, culminating in fireworks. Be ready to go too, because everyone is given a paddle and allowed to row to the beat of the drum.
As you can see, there are a lot of options for celebrating the New Year and everything depends only on you!
