The 2024 PokerStars European Poker Tour (EPT) season has returned to Prague for the final stop of the year.

Known as the City of a Hundred Spires, Prague offers an enchanting backdrop for a thrilling poker experience. The fusion of the city’s rich history, remarkable architecture, and vibrant culture sets the stage for an unforgettable poker festivity.

December brings a brisk winter chill to Prague, with temperatures hovering between -1 and 4 degrees Celsius (30 to 39 degrees Fahrenheit). The city becomes a magical realm of festive adornments and Christmas stalls.

Snowflakes might gently fall at times, adding to the city's enchanting views. Dressing in layers is crucial for anyone wishing to wander through the mesmerizing lanes and visit the timeless landmarks—a warm jacket, scarf, and gloves are indispensable. Even with its frosty air, Prague retains an irresistible allure during this time of year; splendid holiday illumination and a jubilant atmosphere ensure that December is an appealing month for experiencing the charm of Prague.
