History
Prague’s core dates to the medieval era; its central markets and public squares have hosted seasonal trade and civic rituals for centuries, evolving into today’s Christmas traditions.
Conservation
Markets attract heavy foot traffic—stick to marked paths, avoid blocking vendor stalls, and support local artisans to help maintain historic districts.
