Christmas in Prague

Spirit of Christmas in Prague is best experienced in the city's famous Christmas markets.

You will see both locals and visitors mingling and laughing.
We invite you to join them and have a sip of tasty mulled wine and a bite of traditional Czech delicacies. Trdelnik, a cinnamon spiced hot sugar coated pastry, will surely draw your attention, as well as Pernik, Czech style gingerbread.
Do not forget Pilsner Urquell, Budweiser and Kozel. These are world-class quality beers made in Czech Republic, and you can try these, and many others, while walking down the Christmas market stalls.
