Tips & Advice

  • Check the specific operating hours for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, as they are significantly shorter than regular market hours.
  • Consider visiting on a weekday evening for a potentially less crowded experience, especially if you prefer a more relaxed atmosphere.
  • While the main market is at Mlýnská kolonáda, explore the official website for any potential satellite events or activities happening elsewhere in Karlovy Vary.
  • Dress warmly, as outdoor markets in late November and December can be quite cold. Layers are recommended.
  • Bring cash, as some smaller vendors may not accept card payments, although many larger stalls likely will.
