Christmas Markets in Front of PALLADIUM (until January 7, 2026)
Experience the magical pre-Christmas atmosphere right on náměstí Republiky, directly in front of PALLADIUM, where the Václav Christmas Markets once again come to life this year. This place quite literally smells of festive cheer and attracts families, tourists, and locals alike with unique Advent experiences.
Every day, traditional Christmas markets await you, combining the charm of old Prague with the joyful energy of the pre-Christmas season. Enjoy a wide selection of Czech specialties, hot drinks, sweet and savory treats, and discover gifts that will delight everyone – including original products from sheltered workshops, an ideal choice for those looking for something truly special.
The perfect atmosphere is enhanced by a rich music program that will make you feel as if you’ve stepped into a living Christmas movie. Each week, bands such as The Brownies, SO FINE, and ATARÉS perform, unique melodies are provided by members of the Podťipský Brass Quintet, and the gentle magic of Christmas is brought by children’s choirs from Prague schools.
And because Christmas is above all about meeting and spending time together, Václav Christmas Markets are also an ideal place for a friendly stop after work. Come with colleagues or friends for a hot punch or mulled wine, enjoy a moment of calm, and wish each other a Merry Christmas and good health in 2026 in an inspiring atmosphere right in the heart of the city.
Beloved festive moments are prepared for both children and adults – St. Nicholas celebrations, the opportunity to take home the Bethlehem Light, and an open-air Christmas Eve service, which is one of the most beautiful traditions of the entire market.
