Weather
Prague in February is cold and often overcast. Daytime highs typically reach around 4-6 C, with overnight lows near or below freezing. Frost, occasional snow and icy pavements are possible, so plan for winter conditions between your hotel and the PVA EXPO PRAHA halls in Letnany. Check the forecast 5-7 days before travel.
Plan for the climate
Check temperatures and pack accordingly
Venue connectivity
Czech Republic uses the Czech koruna (CZK) for local spending, so keep a card plus some cash for transit and small vendors. Mobile coverage is good in Prague; business visitors typically buy a local prepaid SIM or an eSIM for Czechia for data during the show. Confirm roaming charges with your home operator. Czechia uses 230 V, 50 Hz power with type C and E plugs, so bring a suitable adapter for non-European devices.

Cultural notes
Useful information to help you have a smooth and respectful visit.
Currency and payments
Local prices are in Czech koruna (CZK), not euro. Cards are widely accepted in Prague, but carry some cash for trams, markets, and small stalls. Confirm prices in CZK before paying by card to avoid unfavourable conversion.
Language and meetings
Czech is the local language; many exhibitors and venue staff in Prague speak English, but confirm in advance if you need Czech-language documentation or interpretation for technical meetings.
Business etiquette
Punctuality is expected for meetings and stand appointments. Exchange business cards, keep technical discussions specific, and confirm follow-up actions by email after the fair.
Show days and daylight
February daylight is short, so plan evening transfers back to your hotel before dark if you are unfamiliar with the city. Arrive early on the first morning for registration and orientation in the PVA EXPO PRAHA halls.
Practical guides
Visitor & Exhibitor Essentials
Everything needed to arrive prepared, navigate the event, and make the visit productive.
Flights
Destination: PRG
Book flights to PRG (Prague) when possible for the shortest transfer to the venue. February is low season for tourism but trade fair dates can tighten hotel and flight availability, so book early and allow an arrival-day buffer. If direct fares are high, compare routes via Vienna, Berlin, or Warsaw with onward rail. Confirm baggage allowances if you are carrying catalogues or product samples.
Visa
Schengen short-stay rules govern entry to Czechia. Many visitors can attend the fair visa-free for business, but other nationalities need a Schengen business visa applied for in advance. Check the Czech Ministry of Foreign Affairs guidance for your passport.
Estimated cost: Schengen visa fee set by EU rules; confirm the live amount with the Czech embassy or visa centre handling your application.
Processing: Consulate-dependent; appointment waits and processing can take several weeks in peak season, so start early.
Bring an invitation letter or proof of registration for the Roofs Solar Craft fair, hotel booking and travel insurance. Verify passport validity and any upcoming ETIAS steps for visa-free entry before booking flights.
OfficialTransport
Get to the venue and around the city with these options.

Ride-hail: Ride-hailing apps such as Bolt and Uber are widely used in Prague; confirm local availability, pickup zones, and the app price before departure. At the airport, use the designated pickup area rather than accepting offers from unmarked drivers.
Public transit: Prague's integrated PID network covers metro, trams, and buses with time-based tickets. Metro line C serves Letnany, close to PVA EXPO PRAHA, and a short bus ride or 10-15 minute walk completes the trip. Buy and validate a ticket before boarding via the PID app or station machines; an approximate 90-minute ticket costs CZK 40, but confirm live fares.
Parking: On-site parking is available at PVA EXPO PRAHA; confirm daily rates, pre-booking options, and hall access on the organiser or venue site. Arrive early on peak show days and use Parkopedia or the venue's own guidance for current parking charges.
Weather
Plan and pack for the event climate.
Month: February 2027
Temperature: Approx. -3 C to 5 C (February averages for Prague; confirm the forecast closer to the show)
Seasonality: February is a relatively dry winter month for Prague, with roughly 8-10 days of rain or snow reported and occasional snow rather than heavy rain. Frost and icy pavements are possible, especially in the morning and evening.
Packing: Pack a warm insulated coat, layers, gloves, a hat, and waterproof shoes with grip for icy pavements. Bring an indoor-friendly blazer or knit for meeting rooms, since heated halls contrast with outdoor temperatures. Add a power adapter for type C or E sockets and a compact umbrella for light winter precipitation.
