4Prague, Czech Republic: A Fairytale Christmas
Prague is often described as one of the most picturesque cities in Europe, and its charm only deepens during the Christmas season. The city’s medieval architecture, cobbled streets, and gothic towers create the perfect backdrop for a festive celebration that feels straight out of a storybook.
The heart of Prague’s Christmas celebration is in the Old Town Square, where you’ll find one of the largest and most beautiful Christmas markets in Europe. A towering Christmas tree, beautifully lit, stands in the center of the square, surrounded by wooden market stalls selling handcrafted gifts, ornaments, and delicious Czech delicacies. You can sample trdelník, a traditional chimney cake dusted with sugar and cinnamon, as well as sip on svařák—Czech mulled wine that warms you up as you wander through the market.
