What to Wear in Prague in Fall
Before we get onto the specifics of what to wear in Prague in Fall for women and men, we wanted to reiterate that we think it is a great idea to pack a capsule wardrobe. It means you are less likely to lose your luggage when traveling and prevents you from overpacking. For help in packing a capsule wardrobe check out these posts:
Best Shoes for Prague in Fall
But first we will turn our attention to shoes for Prague in Fall.
Sneakers
Sneakers in my opinion are the best shoe for Prague. Prague has cobbled stone streets and uneven surfaces such as on the famous Charles Bridge. This combined with the amount of walking you will be doing means that you will need comfortable walking shoes.
My favorite brand of sneakers for walking are Hoka and AllBirds, however you also can’t go wrong with a plain white sneaker as they go with everything. One of my favorite pairs of white sneakers is the Adidas Cloud Foam shoes.
However on top of sneakers you will also want:
Ankle Boots
Ankle boots are the perfect second shoes for Prague. As there are lots of cobbled stone streets we recommend choosing boots. We recommend avoid suede because of the rain and picking a boot with a falt good sole as opposed to thin heels.
What to Wear in Prague in Fall for Women
So what does a Prague Packing List for Fall look like? For women we recommend packing:
Waterproof Jacket
Although not as rainy as Summer you will still want a compact waterproof with you. If you are visiting in October or November then you will also want:
Puffer Jacket
As the temperatures drop you will also want to have a puffer jacket with you.
Please note: it is worth keeping your eye on the weather to be sure there isn’t a cold snap and a larger parka coat isn’t required.
Layers
Lots of layers are the most important thing for your Prague packing list. Hoodies are a good choice, but I also like to pack a cardigan for evenings.
Trousers / Pants
Trousers and pants are a great versatile pick for Switzerland and are way more useful than dresses and skirts especially if you are doing lots of outdoors activities.
Skirts and Dresses
These aren’t essential but are nice to have if you plan on going to nicer restaurants for upscale dinners. For Fall I recommend a nice sweater dress that can be paired with boots and tights.

Blouse
A loose blouse is another good pick for visiting religious sites and for evenings in Prague. Personally I like plain white linen shirts as they are very easy to use as part of a capsule wardrobe.
T Shirts
T Shirts are a great base for Prague no matter what season you are visiting. For Fall I like to pack a mix of short and long sleeve t-shirts and style-wise, I tend to stick to a plain or lightly patterned t-shirt instead of neon, graphic or slogan tees as they work better in a capsule wardrobe.
Pashmina
A pashmina should be on your v packing list no matter the month you are visiting. They are great for cool evenings but also to make outfits more modest for churches. Click here to shop pashminas.
PJs or Nightie, Underwear and Socks
Goes without saying.
Sunglasses
Prague can be a dazzling city even in Fall so be sure to pack a pair of sunglasses with good UVA protection.
