★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 2 reviews · 2 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $99

Prague Christmas Market walking tour through Wenceslas Square, Old Town, Josefov, and Charles Bridge, with transit ticket and guide.

“I honestly expected better. In the square adjacent to the astronomical clock the market is purely dedicated to street food. Little variety of typical handicrafts. The same applies to those adjacent to Wenceslas Square. However, visiting Prague in the period of the markets is a unique experience!! The streets are decorated with beautiful lights, discreet and elegant, the monuments are magnificent and just as illuminated. there are pines scattered throughout the city, everywhere singing a discreet background of Christmas songs.
