Quick Actions
Tips & Advice
- Arrive early in the day, especially on weekends, to experience the markets with fewer crowds and enjoy a more relaxed atmosphere.
- Carry some Czech Koruna (CZK) in cash for smaller purchases, as not all vendors may accept card payments.
- Explore beyond the main squares; smaller, local markets offer unique crafts and a more intimate experience.
- Dress warmly in layers, as winter weather in Prague can be cold, and comfortable walking shoes are essential for navigating the cobblestone streets.
- Take advantage of the public transportation system to reach the markets, as parking in the city center can be challenging.
