Old Town Square is the core of Prague, bringing the magic of the city to life! The stunning architecture, street performers, and rich history create an enchanting atmosphere. The Astronomical Clock captivates with its remarkable design and intricate mechanism. During Christmas, the square becomes a fairy tale: illuminated markets and festive decorations fill the scene, complemented by the delightful scent of mulled wine. Don't miss trying the traditional trdelník with cinnamon, hot sausages, and roasted chestnuts. It's a must-try to fully embrace the vibe!

Old Town Square is charming and cozy, with a unique atmosphere that is both big and intimate. While I wouldn't necessarily suggest dining at the nearby restaurants, exploring the square and its surroundings can be quite enjoyable. Overall, it deserves a 5-star rating! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Visiting the Prague Christmas Market was an adorable and memorable experience. Unlike markets in Germany and France, this one fills the entire square with Christmas carols, creating a movie-like fairy tale atmosphere. However, be prepared for crowds, especially in the evening during the holidays. I waited an hour to access the ladies' room! Despite the queues, this market is absolutely worth visiting. Just a tip: items can be priced differently in CZK and Euros, so keep that in mind.

Visiting Old Town Square in late November felt like entering a winter wonderland. The Christmas decorations created a magical scene with twinkling lights and festive ornaments. The atmosphere was vibrant yet cozy, with local stalls offering seasonal treats like mulled wine and gingerbread cookies. It's an ideal location to soak up the holiday spirit, whether shopping for gifts or enjoying the festive vibes. A must-visit if you're in Prague during the holiday season!
