Christmas is magical in the Czech Republic and Prague has many activities to choose from starting in November. The lighting of the Christmas Tree in Old Town Square will take place every day beginning at 4:30 pm. The Christmas markets are fun to wander through. Listen to music, watch groups singing Christmas carols, buy some gifts and don’t forget to sample Czech Christmas goodies like Vánočka (a braided sweet bread) and vánoční cukrovi (beautifully decorated cookies).
