Description

Meeting at St Nicholas's church, get ready to experience the magic of Prague's Christmas markets on this guided tour with an experienced local professional tour guide! Visit the Old Town Square, Václavské Square, and Havelské Market, and enjoy the festive atmosphere, delicious food, and unique gifts. Begin your festive journey at Old Town Square, the heart of Prague's Christmas celebrations. As you enter the square, you are greeted by a stunning view of the towering Christmas tree with twinkling lights and colourful ornaments. The backdrop features the iconic Church of Our Lady before Týn and the Astronomical Clock, both of which add to the square's enchanting atmosphere. Let the scent of roasted chestnuts and mulled wine take you away while you indulge in seasonal treats! We will wander through the wooden stalls that line the square and discover beautiful glass ornaments and wooden decorations made by local artisans. Sample traditional Czech foods such as trdelník (a sweet pastry), klobása (grilled sausage), and potato pancakes (bramboráky). Pair these treats with a warm cup of mulled wine (svařák) to keep cozy whilst enjoying live performances from local musicians and choirs singing traditional carols. After soaking in the charm of Old Town Square, take a leisurely stroll to Václavské Square (Wenceslas Square). This bustling boulevard is not only a historical site but also a vibrant centre for shopping and entertainment during the holiday season. The walk will take about 10-15 minutes, allowing you to enjoy Prague’s picturesque streets along the way. The market here is slightly less crowded, making it easier to explore at your own pace. The square is lined with shops, cafes, and restaurants that create an inviting atmosphere for visitors. Browse through stalls offering unique gifts such as handmade jewellery, Czech glassware, and artisanal crafts that reflect local traditions. Indulge in gourmet food products like honey, jams, and traditional Czech pastries. More traditional Czech foods are available at various stalls, such as sweet braided bread and gingerbread cookies. We will conclude your Christmas market tour at Havelské Market (Havel's Market), located just a short walk from Václavské Square. This historic marketplace has been operating since the 13th century and offers a delightful mix of traditional and contemporary goods. Unlike larger markets, Havelské Market provides a more intimate setting where you can enjoy your surroundings without feeling overwhelmed by crowds. Through out your experience, your dedicated guide will explain Czech Christmas traditions, sharing stories and anecdotes on the history of Prague and aid you in purchasing and tasting unique foods and drinks! A tour not to be missed!
