- Prague Christmas Markets
Christmas Markets (Vánoční) are an essential ingredient for the Feast. The lights of markets lighten up the Old Town Square and Venceslao Square, whereas some stalls also reach the areas of Havelské Trziste & Namesti Republiky (just a 10 minute walk from one to the other).
Christmas Markets in Prague are made up by wooden colourful mountain huts, where typical products of the Czeckish craftsmanship, warm dishes (corns, sausages and local specialties), beers and warm drinks like the svařené víno and svařák are sold.
Among the most valuable craftsman products, worthy of mention are the Bohemian crystals, the wooden toys, traditional puppets, scented candels, pottery, handmade jewels, hats, scarfs and Christmas decorations.
