Prague’s Old Town Square hosts the Czech capital’s flagship Christmas market, flanked by the gothic Týn Church and the baroque St Nicholas.
Wooden chalets heap with hand‑painted baubles, carved toys and gingerbread, while food stalls serve svařák (mulled wine), klobása and trdelník. Dates for 2025 run from November to January, so you can visit both before and after Christmas Day. The enormous Christmas tree, lit each evening, makes a spectacular centrepiece for photos. Expect a steady programme of carols and performances, and easy access via Staroměstská metro/tram or a short walk from Wenceslas Square. Crowds peak on weekends; aim for weekday mornings or later evenings for a calmer wander.
