Events in Prague in July

July is holiday time for the Czechs, so there isn't very much going on in Prague that's not designed especially for tourists. Locals therefore visit summer festivals around the Czech Republic - let's name the most popular ones - the Karlovy Vary International film festival held in the beautiful spa town a 2 hour drive from Prague, the Rock for People music festival, Mighty Sounds, Masters of Rock or Colours of Ostrava in the unique industrial area of Dolní Vítkovice Ostrava.

Staying in Prague? Visit one of the concerts during Bohemia Jazz Fest. They are held on town squares all around the republic including Prague and free of charge.

If you wish to become familiar with historical music, visit the The Summer Festivities of Early Music till early August. You´ll love the beautiful settings of the concerts in former royal palaces and churches.

Spending time actively in Prague in July

Make use of the weather and sign up for some Prague summer activities. Rent a paddle boat at the Žofín Island on the Vltava river and observe the sights right from the water. Looking for a nice swim? Take a tram to Podolí and spend a great afternoon at the Žluté lázně lido with pubs, restaurants and a sandy beach.

Looking for something wild? Sign up for a fun rafting experience through Prague, try the hoverboarding experience, the powerful water jetpack or wakeboard, go flyboarding or waterskiing. All can be arranged through ActiveCzech.com.
