Celebrating Christmas 2013 in Prague

Things to do in Prague during Christmas 2013


If you’ve never experienced it before, Christmas in Prague is a fascinating time. The City of a Hundred Spires fills with carol singers, markets, ambient light, bowls of giant fish… Intrigued? Read on, as we take a look at some of the best activities on offer during Christmas 2013 in Prague.

CHRISTMAS MARKETS– The two biggest Christmas markets in Prague are those in the Old Town Square and Wenceslas Square. You can find some stunning handicrafts and stocking fillers, accompanied by traditional sugary pastries, mulled wine, Czech beer and honey liquor. In the Old Town Square, you’ll find a Nativity scene with a real petting zoo, as well as a giant Christmas tree brought down from the Czech mountains. There’s also several smaller Christmas markets scattered around.When: Old Town Square market until January 1st; Wenceslas Square market until January 12th. Both from 10 am to 10pm.

Christmas dinner 2013 in PragueFISHY CHRISTMAS DINNER– Walking through the streets of Prague during the run up to Christmas 2013 you’ll see giant tubs filled with live carp. Some families take them home and keep them alive in the bathtub for several days before cooking them for the traditional Christmas Eve dinner. It’s said that if you put a fish scale in your wallet, you’ll enjoy financial luck. If you don’t fancy cooking, don’t forget that many restaurants will be closed on Christmas Eve, so book in advance.

St. Vitus Cathedral is a great place to celebrate Christmas 2013 in PragueCHRISTMAS CONCERTS – Midnight mass in Prague can be very atmospheric, above all in Gothic St. Vitus Cathedral (St. Jacob’s Church is also highly recommended for its incredible organ music). Most churches and concert halls will also hold their own Christmas concerts between the 24th and 31st of December, with tickets to classical music concerts being sold on almost every street corner. Where: St. Vitus Cathedral, Hrad III. Nádvoří. When: recommended to arrive at around 11.45 pm.

BOTANICAL GARDENS – Find out the history behind the Christmas tree. A special Christmas exhibition will be held, entitled “The Plant as a Christmas Symbol” will be held in Prague’s splendidly beautiful Botanical Gardens to bring in the Christmas season. Where: Prague Botanic Garden. When: Until Jan 6th 2014, 9 am to 4 pm. How much: Adults 30 CZK, children under fifteen 20 CZK.
