July is the month we would avoid in Prague if you have flexible dates. Expect daytime highs around 25°C, nights near 13°C and roughly 11 rainy days across the month. Peak season: 25C days, packed Charles Bridge by 9am, and the highest room rates of the summer. If you must come now, do the big sights before 8am and save afternoons for parks and the river.

With 11 rainy days and highs of 25°C, build your July days around indoor anchors and treat sunny windows as a bonus.
Jewish Quarter (Josefov)
TipOne Jewish Museum ticket covers the synagogues and the Old Jewish Cemetery; buy it online and start at the Pinkas Synagogue right at 9am opening, since the cemetery path behind it bottlenecks by mid-morning. Everything closes Saturdays, so plan around Shabbat.
Klementinum Baroque Library
TipEntry is by guided tour only, roughly every 30 minutes, and slots sell out on busy days, so book online for a morning tour. You view the baroque library hall from the doorway and cannot enter the room itself; the real payoff is the Astronomical Tower gallery at the end.
Lokal Dlouha
TipThis is the benchmark for tank-fresh Pilsner Urquell and honest Czech classics like svickova at fair prices. It takes reservations and fills by 7pm; walk-ins do best at the bar or before 6pm, and note your beer tally is marked on a paper slip you pay at the end.
Strahov Monastery Library
TipLike the Klementinum, you view the Theological and Philosophical halls from the doorways, so budget 30-40 minutes and buy the photo permit if you want pictures. Pair it with the free terrace below the monastery, one of the best castle-and-city viewpoints in Prague, then walk downhill to the castle.
