Hotels near Republic Square Christmas Market

Republic Square (Náměstí Republiky) hosts a compact Christmas market next to two of Prague's most striking buildings: the Art Nouveau Municipal House (Obecní dům), with its mosaic-covered facade, and the Gothic Powder Tower, one of the original gates of the Old Town. The 2026 market runs from 25 November to 24 December.

This Prague Christmas market is smaller and calmer than Old Town Square, with stalls selling food, drinks and gifts. Because it sits at the start of the Royal Route, the historic coronation path that runs through the Old Town to Charles Bridge and Prague Castle, it makes a natural starting point for a walk through the centre.

The Municipal House itself has a café and restaurant under chandeliers that are worth a look, and the building often hosts Christmas concerts in Smetana Hall.

Pro Tip: Start a walk here and follow Celetná street west through the Powder Tower to Old Town Square, about 7 minutes away. Check the Municipal House programme for Advent concerts in Smetana Hall.
