Prague, the capital of the Czech Republic, transforms into a festive wonderland when winter rolls in. At the heart of this transformation lie its famed Christmas markets, where centuries-old traditions meet vibrant street life. Prague City Adventures offers a private, immersive way to experience these markets, allowing visitors to wander beyond the usual tourist crowds under the guidance of a local expert. These tours unlock hidden spots tucked between Gothic spires and Baroque facades, where the air hums with the scent of roasting chestnuts and warm mulled wine.

The tours focus on Prague’s Old Town Square and Wenceslas Square markets—both expansive, colorful hubs with wooden stalls brimming with handcrafted goods, delicate ornaments, and traditional holiday treats like vánočka pastries and medovník honey cakes. Beyond shopping, guests learn about Czech seasonal customs, including the symbolism behind the star-shaped carp decorations and the story behind the nativity scenes displayed throughout the city.

What distinguishes Prague City Adventures is the intimacy of the private format, tailored to the group’s pace and interests. This means more time savoring a steaming cup of svařák (mulled wine) while hearing local holiday lore or visiting quiet side streets where artisans sell their handmade wares.
