The Christmas markets at Old Town Square in Prague will once again be the heart of magical holiday cheer this year. From November 30, 2024, to January 6, 2025, the historic center will transform into a fairytale destination, attracting visitors from around the world.
The highlight of the markets is, as always, the stunning Christmas tree, beautifully decorated to delight both young and old. The tree, sourced from Czech forests, will be ceremonially lit during a traditional event that marks the start of the festive season.
Visitors can look forward to a wide selection of stalls offering unique Christmas gifts, handmade decorations, and traditional Czech crafts. Complementing this is a tempting array of delicious treats, including the iconic trdelník, mulled wine, and Czech favorites like potato pancakes, sausages, and honey wine (medovina).
Each day, you can immerse yourself in festive music and cultural performances. The stage will feature carolers, folk ensembles, and a variety of musical acts that enhance the magical atmosphere. For children, there will be creative workshops where they can craft their own Christmas ornaments, along with a chance to meet St. Nicholas and his entourage.
Old Town Square during the holidays isn’t just about shopping and food—it’s about shared experiences. Visit the nativity scene, marvel at traditional Czech customs, or enjoy a magical evening under the glow of the illuminated square, creating memories that last a lifetime.
The Christmas markets at Old Town Square are the perfect place to soak in the true spirit of the season, discover Czech traditions, and experience the wonder of Christmas in the historic heart of Prague.
