Markets are opening earlier and closing later in 2015 with Náměstí Míru already underway while the Old Town and Wenceslas Square markets will stay open well into the New Year. Design markets and pop-ups are on the rise and plenty of smaller markets let you escape the crowds of central Prague. The Old Town tree lighting ceremony is November 28 at 17:00; for tips on markets worth traveling to see our article here.
*Christmas markets typically open between 9:00 and 10:00 and close anywhere between 19:00 and 22:00 with food stalls often staying open until midnight.
TIP: Neighborhood markets tend to pop up around Prague as well. Closer to Christmas check out Kubáňské náměstí, Podolí, and the square near St. Antonín Church in Prague 7 for smaller but no less festive markets.
