We were in Prague last June but I know people who have been there near Christmas, its absolutely freezing but soooo beautiful.

I loved Prague and can't wait to go back. I would pick there but take plenty of warm clothes

Our next door neighbours went to Prague for Christmas 2004. They went on the 23rd and said it was really cold but really beautiful. The city is very picturesque, especially the castle. And apparently they do lots of hot toddies which are ideal for keeping you warm

Prague in the lead upto Xmas is superb. The xmas market in the Old Town Square is tacky, but the atmosphere/ buzz about the place is amazing.

It can be very cold, but all bars fronting the old town square have outside seating set up (as in the summer), with patio heaters so it retains the character.

Well worth a trip!

cool! prague it is!
We have booked for Andels Hotel (with Expedia), going on the 23rd.
Looking forward to it, thanks for the replies!

We went to Prague between Christmas and New Year 2003. It was very cold, below freezing all day, but beautiful. The Old Town Square was fantastic with a big Christmas tree and market stalls. We really loved it. It think I put a couple of pictures on the photo gallery on here,here's one of them.

Same tiime last year we went to Budapest, which was also great but Prague has to be tops.

I have been toying with Prague or Dublin for my birthday in July.
I have booked Dublin now but this is making me want to go to Prague also.

You will have a great time in the run upto Xmas. Prague is still busy with tourists, but not too busy.

Have a great time!

Went to Prague in January - very cold, but the bars are warm. We stayed at the Andels and would recommend it highly. It's out of the main tourist areas, but has bars and restaurants close by. There is a large shopping centre and supermarket nearby for all your cheap vodka!

To see the city get on the trams and stay on until the terminus - we did this a couple of times, the trips take less than an hour, but we found bars where prices were half the cost of central Prague and you saw real life.

We did cologne, last year and the christmas markets were lovely. And there is loads of shops and great bars.

Not to far to fly to as well.
