Traveller notes on Karlovy Vary in September
Notes from nearby Prague (111 km away)
Karlovy Vary doesn't have its own notes for September yet — these are about Prague, close enough to share the season.
Prague's September, per the forum: sunny and bright, still warm by day without being roasting — highs near 21°C — but chilly at night once lows drop to about 12, and variable enough that some days arrive cloudy and wet. The real reason regulars pick it is the crowd curve, not the thermometer: the peak tourist season is over by early autumn and late September into October is noticeably calmer, though nobody pretends Prague is ever tourist-free. September also carries a dense run of music, dance, food and art festivals.
