Hotel COSMOPOLITAN: The Perfect Base for Exploring Christmas in Prague
Hotel COSMOPOLITAN is located right in the centre of Prague, just a few steps from Republic Square, offering excellent transport connections and our concierge services with personal recommendations for exploring both classic and lesser-known holiday spots in the city.

Christmas Magic Off the Beaten Path
As you explore the city, don’t miss out on these unique Christmas markets that bring a new perspective to Prague and its holiday atmosphere.
The Christmas Market at Náměstí Míru offers a stunning setting in front of the Church of St. Ludmila. Discover stalls with handmade ornaments, nativity scenes, wooden toys, artisan crafts, candles, wreaths, and delicious festive treats. Located in the peaceful Vinohrady district, this market is ideal for picking up gifts from local artisans and enjoying a hot drink away from the crowds.
If you’re interested in Czech traditions, visit the "Lada's Christmas" market on Mariánské náměstí, inspired by the famous illustrator Josef Lada. The square is decorated in his signature style and features stalls with traditional handmade items, nativity scenes, jewellery, wooden toys, and candles. Many of the vendors represent nonprofit or protected workshops, so your purchase also supports a good cause.
No visit to Prague is complete without walking across the iconic Charles Bridge. At the end of the bridge, take a few steps down to Kampa and discover a small craft market offering handmade gifts, local delicacies, and gourmet delights—a charming end to a holiday stroll through the Old Town.
