| | | Prague markets A-Z:
The most famous Prague markets are the Christmas
markets and Easter
markets, when the city centre fills with festive delights and traditional wares.
Aside from this, Prague also has two permanent markets and a flea market, which operate all year round. |

Prague MarketsTwo permanent markets in Prague run daily, all year round. One at Havelske Trziste in the city centre, the other at Prazska Trznice in Holešovice, a tram/metro ride from the centre. Plus, a flea market operates by the river every Saturday. In addition, street vendors selling paintings and arts and crafts can be found on Charles Bridge and along certain stretches of the river (most notably by the Rudolfinum), and often at the Old Town Square and Republic Square. The main Christmas markets and Easter markets take place at the Old Town Square and Wenceslas Square. |

trziste (Havel's market)
Havelska Street, Prague 1. Metro: Mustek
(line A or B).
Apr-Sep: Daily 07:00-19:00; Oct-Mar: Daily 07:00-18:30

toys, ceramics and other tourist souvenirs.
Havelske Trziste is located off Melantrichova Street, a pedestrian route linking Wenceslas Square to the Old Town Square, a few minutes walk from either square. | |

Prague flea market 1

(line B, exit Palackeho namesti).
Trams: 3,7,16,17,21 (Výtoň or Palackeho namesti stops).

The Prague flea market, on the river embankment every Saturday, mainly attracts local Czech people, with a smattering of tourists there for curiosity sake. From the city centre (Old Town and New Town side of the river), it makes for a pleasant stroll along the river.
Clothes, jewellery, old pictures and many other items are for sale at cheap prices. Mostly second hand items, but some new hand-made goods are also offer. | | |
Prazska trznice
(Prague market)
Bubenské nábřeží, Holešovice,
Prague 7.
Metro: Vltavská (line
C). Trams: 1,3,14,25.
Jan-Dec:
Mon-Sat 07:00-18:00.
Prague's largest outdoor market is a network
of small kiosks selling an array of cheap consumer
goods; portable stereos, clothes, fruit and vegetables, arts and crafts, alcohol and so forth. Prazska Trznice is fairly run down and the goods are aimed at Czech people. This combined with its location outside the city centre, makes it more of a local market, with little to appeal to tourists. | |
