Vánoční trhy - Brno city center - Dominikánské 2 Town Hall courtyard

Nestled in the courtyard of the historic Town Hall at Dominican Square, this intimate Christmas market offers a serene escape from Brno's busier festive venues. The centerpiece is a magnificent hand-carved wooden nativity scene (betlém) created by master craftsman Tomiš Zedník, featuring over a hundred intricately detailed figures that form one of Central Europe's largest handmade nativity displays. The peaceful courtyard setting, framed by the Town Hall's historic architecture and the nearby Church of St. Michael, creates an enchanting backdrop for this traditional Christmas experience. Visitors can explore artisan stalls offering handcrafted gifts and seasonal treats while soaking in the intimate, family-friendly atmosphere that distinguishes this location from Brno's larger market venues. The market forms part of Brno's wider Christmas celebration, which earned the city recognition as a top European Christmas destination. The courtyard's sheltered location provides a cozy refuge where families can admire the detailed nativity craftsmanship up close and enjoy traditional Czech Christmas specialties in a more relaxed setting. For a truly authentic Brno Christmas experience, combine your visit here with the nearby markets at Freedom Square and Dominican Square to experience the full range of the city's festive offerings.
