Prague Markets
There are two main permanent markets in Prague. The best one, Havel's Market, is on a pedestrian route linking the Old Town Square to Wenceslas Square.
Elsewhere, a farmers' market is held every Saturday alongside the river at Náplavka.
While pop-up markets and street vendors are sited at various places around the city.
The most famous markets are the festive ones: the Christmas markets and Easter markets fill the city with wonder, and attract visitors from around the world. |

 | | Prague Markets
The main permanent market in Prague is Havel's Market (Havelské tržiště), sited 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 on Kampa Island. |

| Meanwhile, street vendors sell arts and crafts on Charles Bridge and by the river, for example outside the Rudolfinum. | |

| Vendors sell seasonal fruits and vegetables, including organic produce, plus artisan bread and pastries, meats, cheeses, beers, wines and spirits, and ceramics. | |

Prague's largest outdoor market, Prague Market, is located just outside the city centre. It is open all year.
A network
of small kiosks sell electrical equipment, clothes and accessories, and fruit and vegetables. Prague Market is aimed at local Czechs and is fairly run down. This, combined with its location, means it offers little appeal to most tourists. | |

FESTIVE Markets
The most popular festive markets in Prague are undoubtedly the
Christmas markets and Easter markets, which are held annually at the Old Town Square and Wenceslas Square. | |
