Longest and shortest day in Prague
The longest day falls on 21 June 2026, 2 months ago, with 16h 23m of daylight.
The shortest is 21 December 2026, in 4 months, with 8h 3m.
Between them the day length swings by 8h 19m.
Daylight through 2026
The earliest sunset of the year is at 15:59 on 12 December; the latest is 21:16 on 25 June. Those dates are not the solstices — the difference between clock time and solar time shifts them by a week or more.
Sunrise ranges from 04:52 on 17 June to 08:01 on 1 January.
Averaged across the year, a day here holds 12h 15m of daylight.
What makes sunsets in Prague different
At 50.1°N the sun cuts through the twilight band at an angle, so darkness takes 34 minutes to arrive: 10 minutes longer than today's 24-minute median.
Evening golden hour runs 65 minutes today. On the equator the same window lasts about 41 — at 50.1° the sun approaches the horizon at a shallower angle and takes its time.
Between solstices the sunset walks 77° across the horizon — SW in midwinter, NW in midsummer — which is why a fixed viewpoint works only part of the year. Today's bearing is WNW.
By the end of August the sun will be setting 56 minutes earlier than it did on the first, a shift of roughly 113 seconds a day.
The clocks go back on 25 October 2026, so the sunset jumps from 17:53 to 16:51 overnight — the sun has not moved, the clock has.
Planning a sunset photo in Prague
Arrive by 19:02. Golden hour opens at 19:17 and the sun is down by 20:01, so that leaves about fifteen minutes to find a position before the light is worth using.
Face west-northwest — the sun goes down at 288° on the compass today. That bearing moves through the year, so a composition that works this week may not in three months.
