If you prefer warmer weather and don't mind the crowds, the summer months of June, July, and August are ideal. You'll enjoy longer days, outdoor dining, and various festivals, but expect higher prices and larger crowds.
For a more relaxed experience with pleasant weather and fewer tourists, consider visiting in April-May or September-October, during the shoulder seasons. You'll still enjoy good weather, affordable prices, and cultural events like the Prague Spring Music Festival in May.
