Prague

The market

Prague's markets run among the longest of all, from late November into Epiphany, which makes the city a good choice for a trip between Christmas and New Year. The Old Town Square market with the tree and the Týn church behind it is the famous one; Náměstí Míru in Vinohrady is where locals go.

Also in Prague

• Wenceslas Square, below the National Museum
• Náměstí Míru, the locals' market

What to eat and drink

• Svařák, Czech mulled wine, and hot medovina
• Trdelník, the chimney cake, warm from the coals
• Grilled klobása and Prague ham from the spit

The local specialty: Vánoční cukroví, the Czech Christmas cookies, and the carp tradition.

The walk

One hour with your host and a small tasting of the local specialty, from EUR 69 per person. Company evenings run two hours with tastings and a table to finish. How the hour works

Your host meets you on the Old Town Square, walks you through the market and the Old Town lanes, across the Charles Bridge at dusk, with a svařák and a trdelník on the way, and the stories of the Czech Christmas table, the carp and the cookies.

• Old Town Square, the tree and the Týn church
• Charles Bridge and the Lesser Town at dusk
• Svařák, trdelník and the Czech Christmas traditions
• Náměstí Míru, the market locals prefer

Your host is a Prague local from the LocalBini network who knows the Old Town market and the Czech Christmas customs.
