Christmas Markets
Christmas in Prague is a delightful season made special by the
traditional Christmas markets that sparkle with lights and
colourful decorations, that resound with Christmas music and smell
of hot mulled wine, sausages and gingerbread. Brightly decorated
wooden huts sell Czech handicrafts such as puppets, candles, wooden
toys and jewellery, alongside traditional food and drinks. In Old
Town Square, local and international choirs and musical ensembles
sing Christmas songs, and a wooden stable recreates the Bethlehem
manger scene with live animals. Other festive attractions include
an open-air ice rink and the enormous Christmas tree ablaze with
colourful lights.
