Since it is spring during the Easter time in Prague, the weather conditions are quite suitable for tourists to visit the place. But at times there may be fluctuations in the weather conditions and it may become somewhat chilly.
Prague Easter is also marked by the well decorated markets. Eggs of various designs are sold in these markets and these act as wonderful decorative items. In the earlier times, kraslice and pomlazka were made at home, but with the passage of time, these items can be purchased from the markets itself. With all celebrations, Easter at Prague has become an interesting event.
