Prague: The Christmas Markets.

So we’re back in Prague and this time we’re staying in a hotel on the Old Town Square.  And guess what?  That’s where the biggest Christmas Market is.  Our hotel is really interesting so I’m going to do a separate post on it, but in this post I’ll just share a few photos from the Christmas Market there.  The Markets in Prague aren’t as big as the ones in Salzburg, but there’re still very good, and of course they’re crammed with people.

 

This gigantic tree is the cornerstone of the Old Town Square Christmas Market. It is absolutely encrusted with tiny lights and then garlands of lights have been added on top of them.  Among other songs, the popular theme from Polar Express could be heard most frequently throughout the area and the lights were synchronized to the tune.

 

Depending upon the time of day, the Markets varied from very busy to gridlock.

 

A less busy time. Beautiful buildings around the square, including the Tyn Cathedral seen here in the background.
A little green train transported people around the square.

How to Make a Fabulous Crepe (I can personally vouch for how amazing – and messy –  these things are!)

We loved these food stalls with the fresh sausage rolls and kabobs.  And so did everybody else.
