Prague’s Christmas markets rank among Europe’s best seasonal experiences. Three main markets – each within walking distance – showcase traditional Czech culture at its most festive. The best organized tours combine Old Town Square and Wenceslas Square markets with local insights you won’t get on your own. My favorite guided walks include stops for hot mulled wine (svařák) and Czech Christmas cookies, plus explanations of holiday customs that bring local traditions to life. Small-group walking tours work especially well, letting you duck into medieval lanes and catch evening concerts in historic churches. For less-mobile travelers, private tours with vehicle transport make perfect sense.
Love the professional guides who share insider tips about where to find authentic decorations and which market stalls serve the tastiest treats. The evening tours sparkle, when thousands of lights illuminate Prague’s spires and squares.
