The Old Town Square Christmas Market is an outdoor Advent event on Staroměstské náměstí, in the centre of Prague. Organised by Taiko, it combines a decorated Christmas tree, food stalls and a cultural programme in the historic square.
Czech crafts rather than one generic souvenir
Prague City Tourism describes glass and straw ornaments, ceramics, wooden decorations and nativity scenes among the traditional products sold here. Looking closely at materials and makers is more useful than assuming that every stall offers the same type of gift.
Seasonal food, mulled wine, music and folklore form another part of the visit. The event's setting matters as much as shopping: allow time to look around the square, then return to the stalls you actually want to visit.
Old Town Square is a specific venue
Do not use this listing as the timetable for every Christmas market in Prague. Wenceslas Square has its own event, while other neighbourhood markets can start earlier or close sooner.
For a short visit, keep the route manageable and check the day's programme before committing to a particular performance. The confirmed edition can extend into January without making its dates a permanent annual rule.
