Hotels near Wenceslas Square Christmas Market

Wenceslas Square (Václavské náměstí) is less a square than a long boulevard, and its Christmas market runs in a line of stalls down the pedestrian centre. It is the second big Prague Christmas market, with the same 2026 dates as Old Town Square: 28 November 2026 to 6 January 2027.

The stalls sell much the same mix as Old Town Square, with ornaments, crafts and plenty of food and drink: svařák (Czech mulled wine), medovina (hot mead), sausages and trdelník. The setting is busier and more commercial, lined with shops and hotels, but the view up the boulevard to the National Museum and the statue of St Wenceslas is a good one.

Because it is spread out, it rarely feels as packed as Old Town Square, and it makes an easy stop on the walk between the Old Town and Náměstí Míru.

Pro Tip: Start at the lower end near Můstek and walk uphill towards the National Museum. Try a cup of medovina, the hot honey wine, which is less common than mulled wine elsewhere in Europe.
