08Editor's notes

What the numbers don't tell you

November is dark, cold and quiet, with afternoons around 7 °C, the 17 November commemorations on Národní třída with candles and speeches, and the Christmas markets opening on Old Town Square in the final week. It is one of the cheapest months, and the first market weekends are far less crowded than December. Daylight ends around four thirty.

Rain or sleet falls on about eight days, and the first snow can arrive late in the month. St Martin's Day on 11 November brings roast goose and the new wine to restaurants across the city. The Castle, the Jewish Museum and the Mucha Museum are at their quietest. For the markets at full strength, the Christmas Eve closures and New Year's Eve, see December.
