Prague Markets
There are two main permanent markets in Prague, the best of which, Havel's Market, is located between the Old Town Square and Wenceslas Square in the city centre.
A farmers' market is held regularly by the river. And pop-up markets and street vendors can be found all over the city.
The best-known temporary markets in Prague are the Christmas markets and Easter markets, which fill the city with festive delights and attract visitors from around the world. |

 | | Prague Markets
The main permanent market in Prague is Havel's Market (Havelské tržiště), which is located between the Old Town Square and Wenceslas Square.
There is another one, Prague Market (Pražská tržnice), located a metro/tram ride away, but this has less appeal.
Pop-up markets appear around the city throughout the year, notably at the Old Town Square, Wenceslas Square, Republic Square and Kampa Island.
Meanwhile, street vendors sell arts and crafts on Charles Bridge and by the river, for example by Rudolfinum. |
