Our Golden City looks especially romantic and particularly friendly during the time of Advent and Christmas.
Maintaining the rich advent tradition is very popular in Prague. Amateur choirs take part in this competition. Open Air concert performances will be held in the Old Town Square, enhancing the seasonal magic of Prague Christmas Fair. The festival is taking place under the auspices of the City of Prague and of the Union of Czech Choirs.
Markets run daily throughout December and take place at the Old Town Square & Wenceslas Square, with smaller ones operating at Namesti Republiky and Havelske Trziste (10 minutes walking distance of each other), also at Náměstí Míru and the Holešovice Exhibition Grounds. More »
