The markets consist of brightly decorated, wooden huts selling a variety of traditional handcrafted Czech products, such as wooden toys, Bohemian Crystal, jewellery, embroidery, metal-ware, ceramic plates and mugs, scented candles, hats, gloves and scarves, beautifully dressed puppets and dolls, and of course Christmas tree ornaments. Indeed, visitors may find some very nice Christmas stocking fillers. You will be also able to observe traditional foods being made right infront of you, like sweet traditional Czech pastries Trdelnik and large hams roasting on spits and tasty barbecued sausages!

This is first Advent Sunday in Prague!

What exactly is Advent?
Advent refers to the last four weeks before Christmas. This is important time mainly for the faithful who celebrate the coming of their Savior. This is a special time of moderation in eating and drinking before the Advent fasting period.
