New Town Christmas Markets

The New Town Christmas Markets transform Prague's historic New Town Hall into a festive celebration that captures the authentic spirit of Czech Christmas traditions. Unlike the larger tourist-focused markets at Old Town Square, this intimate one-day fair offers a more local experience with handcrafted products, traditional Christmas goods, and creative workshops that showcase Czech artisan culture. The event features a rich cultural program including theater performances and choir concerts that fill the historic square with seasonal melodies. Families particularly enjoy the creative workshops where children can craft their own Christmas decorations, while the variety of refreshments and traditional Czech treats provide authentic flavors of the season. A unique highlight is access to the New Town Hall's observation tower, offering visitors panoramic views across Prague's rooftops and spires—a perfect way to appreciate the city's winter beauty from above. The market's compact size and focus on local craftsmanship make it ideal for travelers seeking an authentic Prague Christmas experience away from the crowds. Plan your visit for mid-December to catch this special one-day event and combine market browsing with the stunning tower views for a memorable afternoon.
