The Prague Christmas Fair is one of the most magical experiences of the Advent season in Central Europe. Strolling through the heart of the historic city, through its medieval streets and stunning buildings, you'll be captivated by the festive atmosphere. The city's rich cultural heritage and the fair's glittering stalls are the perfect combination for an unforgettable winter trip.
Prague has several Christmas markets, but the two most important are:
- Old Town Square (Staroměstské náměstí):
- This fair is one of the largest and most popular. The huge Christmas tree, traditional handicrafts and delicious Czech food stalls create a magical atmosphere.
- The Old Town Hall and Tyn Church provide an impressive backdrop.
- Wenceslas Square (Václavské náměstí):
- A more modern but equally atmospheric market where you can buy local produce and Czech specialities while enjoying the festive lights and street performances.
- Gastronomy: Try the mulled wine (svařák), honey wine drinks, horn cakes (trdelník) and Czech sausages and roasted chestnuts.
- Handicraft products: Wood and glass ornaments, hand-painted ceramics, candles, and warm knitted hats and scarves made by local artisans.
Combined with the Christmas markets, sightseeing is a must. Here are a few places not to miss:
- Charles Bridge (Karlův most): The iconic bridge over the Vltava River offers fabulous views of the city, especially in the winter months.
- Prague Castle: One of the largest castles in Europe, you can admire beautifully decorated squares and the Cathedral of St Vitus.
- Golden street: The picturesque cottages and narrow streets are particularly charming at this time of year.
- Clock tower: The world-famous astronomical clock in the Old Town Square is a must-see.
