What is the Best Time to Visit Prague National Museum?

Peak Season vs. Low Season

The peak season in Prague (June - August) has mild weather, a large number of tourists, and higher accommodation prices. The National Museum is also the busiest during these months.
The low season (November - March) is less busy. The crowds are smaller, so you'll have more space to explore the museum at your own pace. The downside is that the weather can be quite chilly during this period.

Weekday vs. Weekend

If you want to avoid crowds, weekdays are the best time to visit Prague National Museum. The museum is less crowded during weekdays, especially in the morning hours.
However, if you can only visit on the weekend, try to arrive early in the morning or late in the afternoon when the crowds are thinner.

How Long Should I Spend at Prague National Museum?

Prague National Museum is a large attraction that can take several hours to explore. If you wish to explore the entire museum, set aside at least half a day. This will give you enough time to explore the different exhibits, take a break for lunch, and relax in the museum's beautiful surroundings.

If you are short on time, you can focus on the most popular exhibits, such as the prehistoric collection, the mineral collection, or the Czech and Slovak history exhibits. These are some of the most popular exhibits and will give you a good overview of the National Museum's vast collection.
