Time Zone
Local time in Czech Republic is UTC+1.
Power Supply
The Czech Republic uses type E power plugs and sockets. The standard voltage is 230 V, standard frequency is
50 Hz.
Weather
Prague’s weather in October is very mild during the day with cooler temperatures at night. The weather can be
quite cold as temperatures begin to cool down in autumn. You should also pack an umbrella as rainfall increases
and the city can get quite windy. Prague enjoys an average temperature of 11°C that increases to 16°C during
the warmest time of the day. The weather cools to just 7°C at night.
Tourism
The city centre is compact and the finest areas are mostly pedestrianised, therefore it is best to explore Prague
on foot. Wenceslas Square, on one side of the city, to Prague Castle, on the other, is just a 30-minute stroll
(walking via the Old Town, across the river and through the Lesser Town).
The first thing to do in Prague, therefore, is simply to wander through the streets and magnificent squares, to
revel in the atmosphere and to admire the stunning architecture all around. Not-to-miss highlights are Prague
Castle, Charles Bridge, Lesser Town and definitely Old Town Square with its magnificent Astronomical Clock.
