Best time to go to Czech Republic

The average temperature in July is around 18°C, making it the hottest month of the year. As for the chilliest time, it’s January, where sub-freezing temperatures are common.

Health & Safety

You should take out comprehensive travel and medical insurance to cover you while you’re away. It’s also a good idea to get a European Health Insurance Card – or EHIC – before leaving Ireland. Though it’s not a substitute for travel insurance, it entitles you to emergency medical treatment on the same terms as Czech nationals. It won’t, however, cover you for medical repatriation, ongoing medical treatment or non-urgent treatment.
