Prague’s Wenceslas Square plays host to a pretty decent Christmas market, but an even more atmospheric Christmas market can be found in the historic Old Town Square. Whether you visit by day or night, you’ll find plenty of red-roofed market stalls selling food and drink, as well as homemade Christmas-themed souvenirs.

If you’re visiting Prague during the festive season, we suggest spending time at this most lovely of Christmas markets.

The Christmas Market At Old Town Square In Prague

What a place to hang out in! Prague’s oldest square, dating from the 12th century, is full of plenty of things to do.
