Outdoor Markets

One of the oldest markets in the city, Havel Market dates back to 1232. Originally selling only produce, the market has changed over the years, mainly with tourists in mind. Lately it seems though that the produce stalls are starting to outnumber the souvenir stalls, which is a good thing as many stalls sell the same tourist junk you can find all over Old Town. Some stalls however offer inexpensive handmade Czech crystal and glass jewelry, tasty traditional spa wafers, decorative birch boxes, local honey and wooden toys; all excellent presents to return home with. How to get there: Havel ...

With its impressive background, the Christmas market in Old Town Square is a sight to behold! With a massive Christmas tree brought in from the Sumava Mountains and decorated with lights and ornaments, cute wooden stands selling mulled wine, sausages, Czech specialties, fun souvenirs and golden lit up angels, this Christmas market is sure to please. A stage showcasing choirs performing traditional songs and dances in colorful costumes is in full swing the whole month of December. The overall effect is one of total Christmas cheer! The market also features a petting zoo and a large nativity sce ...

Set in the romantic Peace Square is this intimate Christmas market, frequented by Czechs more than tourists. The Namesti Miru Christmas market features more handmade goods than the touristy products that the Old Town Square market sells. At the Namesti Miru Christmas market you can find goods such as handmade soaps and lotions, jewelry, wooden toys, ceramic decorations, crystals, scarves and so on. The imposing neo Gothic Church of St. Ludmila overlooks the wintery Christmas market, complete with a massive Christmas tree and Nativity scene. Visit this authentic Christmas market and enjoy& ...

Located close to the New Yorker retail store, the Wenceslas Square Christmas Market does not prove to be as magical as the Old Town Square and Namesti Miru Christmas markets, but is conveniently located in the shopping center of Prague, perfect for last minute gifts. It is smaller than the Old Town Square market, although it does feature a beautifully lit Christmas tree, which is magical when viewed from second floor cafes overlooking the market. Recent efforts to enhance – and make more authentic – the markets and other activities in Wenceslas Square are ongoing, so we expect fu ...

A smaller version of the Old Town Square Christmas market, the market at Namesti Republiky is not as busy, and therefore not as touristy, as the other larger markets. You will find the same goods to purchase at this market, including pashmina scarves, wooden toys, beer mugs, colorful prints of Prague, and even some lace items. Unfortunately the same products can be bought in every souvenir shop in the city, but the prices may be a little bit lower here. The location is interesting enough though, with the Art Nouveau Municipal House and the Gothic Powder Tower looming nearby, you will be surrou ...

Located in Holesovice, next to the flowing Vltava, is the Holesovicka Trznice or the Holesovice Market. This market was once the central slaughterhouse and cattle market for the royal city of Prague under Austro-Hungarian rule. Now it is a strange mixture of vendors and kiosks selling fake Louis Vuittons, imposter sunglasses, perfume, gadgets, and cheap clothing. The real reason for a visit to the market is to check out the fruit and vegetable market. Over 40 booths boast locally grown produce straight from the farmers themselves; you can find quality goods such as honey, nuts, legumes, co ...

Every Sunday from 9:00 a.m to 3:00 p.m a small ivy covered courtyard located in the back area of the Klementinum hosts an intimate antique market.

Feel free to bargain with the owners. The market cost 30kc to enter, children are free.  Located in the Klementinum ...

Located in the manicured square just above Jiřího z Poděbrad metro, and in front of the unique and famous Church of the Most Sacred Heart of Our Lord and just outside of the local primary school, you will find a treasure of Czech life – the Farmers Market! Selling everything from potatoes freshly dug up, cheese and fresh milk products, newly-baked traditional goodies such as kolacky or babovka, to free-range eggs and chicken, organic beef, fish, pork, or sometimes even ostrich meat or turkey, to a wide array of seasonal vegetables, herbs, and plants- even including household plants ...

Nestled in the heart of Prague 10, residents will be pleased to find the Kubánské náměstí Farmers Market, locally referred to as “Kubáň” – named for the affectionate slang term for the Kubánské Náměstí square. At farmers markets in Prague, especially ones located in traditional residential areas, such as the Kubáň Market, you can truly get to know Czech culture. Many foreigners would be unacquainted with typical Czech holidays without the food traditions associated with them, especially those most traditionally celebrated in villages rather than central Prague. ...

This farmer's market joined the market scene in Prague, as it kicked off its historic first season in March of 2012. Aptly named the Trhy Tylak – or Tylak Market, using the slang term for the square – this market is very conveniently located at Tylovo Náměstí, near the metro stop at IP Pavlova (on the red C line), and adjacent to the popular tram hub of the much-used daytime trams 4, 6, 10, 11, 16, and 22, as well as multiple city buses. This perfectly-accessible location is actually historic as well. In the past, Tylovo Náměstí was the central gathering point for this part of ...

Náplavka, the affectionate nickname for the farmers market located at Rašínovo nábřeží (near Palackého square) in New Town's Prague 2, translates to “at the riverbank”, and that is exactly what this market is. Located on the riverbank walk, you can stroll through market stalls while enjoying the sun, cooled by the breeze off the the Vltava river. Boasting views of Prague Castle, Petřín Hill, and situated just a few blocks from the famous Dancing House, this location is perfect for residents and tourists alike. Tourists will experience an entirely authentic and new side of Prague ...
