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. However, there are also two permanent markets in Prague, offering a variety of interesting products.

Prague Markets
There are two markets in Prague that run all year round; at Havelske Trziste in the city centre, and at Prazska Trznice, a tram/metro ride away in Holesovice.

In addition to these, there are street vendors lining the river and on Charles Bridge, plus occasionally at the Old Town Square, selling paintings and arts and crafts.

The main Christmas markets & Easter markets take place at the Old Town Square & Wenceslas Square.

Havelske Trziste (Havel's Market)
Havelska street, Prague 1. Metro: Mustek (line A or B).
Open: All year round. Mon-Fri 06:00-18:30; Sat 07:00-18:30; Sun 08:00-18:00.

Havelske Trziste is the main open-air market in the city centre. It is located just off Melantrichova, a pedestrian route leading from Wenceslas Square to the Old Town Square, and is only a few minutes walk from both.

Havelske Trziste market sells fruit & vegetables, art, leather goods, flowers, wooden toys and ceramics.

Prazska Trznice (Prague market)
Holesovice, Prague 7. Metro: Vltavská (line C). Trams: 1,3,14,25. Open: All year round. Mon-Fri 8h00-18h00; Sat 8h00-13h00.

Prague's largest outdoor market is a network of small kiosks selling an array of consumer goods; portable stereos, clothes, fruit & vegetables, arts & crafts, alcohol and so forth. Prazska Trznice is fairly run down and sells mainly cheaper goods. For these reasons, and the fact it is outside the city centre, it remains more of a local market, rather than a tourist one.
