It may – or may not – be a White Christmas in Prague this year, but if you’re lucky enough to be in the Czech capital during the winter months, you have a good chance of seeing the city under some snowfall.

You’ll have to wake up pretty early in the morning to catch a glimpse of Prague’s Charles Bridge with a layer of untrampled fresh snow as pictured above, but the rest of the city will provide some winter wonderland delights as well.

Many locals and visitors say that Prague is most beautiful when snows, and judging by the photos below, it would be hard to dispute them.
