Marché Noel Prague, Christmas market in Old Town Square, Czech Republic

The Christmas market in Old Town Square is a seasonal marketplace with wooden stalls selling local crafts, food items, and holiday decorations arranged around a large decorated tree. The square transforms with lights and festive displays throughout its entire space.

The site has served as a central trading point for centuries, establishing itself as a key gathering place in Prague. The Christmas market tradition grew from this long history of seasonal commerce and community gatherings.

The market showcases traditional Czech Christmas foods like fried carp, potato salad, and homemade cookies that visitors can taste at stalls throughout the season. These dishes reflect how locals celebrate the holiday and shape the market's daily rhythm.

The market is easily accessible on foot and visitors can walk freely between stalls to explore at their own pace. Visit in late afternoon or early evening when lighting is visible and crowds tend to be smaller.

The central tree features an hourly lighting display in the evenings that synchronizes with musical performances on the main stage. This timed coordination creates a memorable experience that many visitors time their visit to see.
