Tips & Advice

  • Admission is free, so you can wander the stalls among the historic weavers' houses around the Weberplatz without needing a ticket.
  • Bring the kids along to meet the Bohemian Crystal Fairy and visit Santa Claus's office, both part of what the market offers children.
  • The market runs for only one weekend and closes earliest on Sunday, so Friday or Saturday gives you the most time at the stalls.
  • Bring your Christmas gift list, since the traders here sell handmade one-of-a-kind pieces, arts and crafts, and special gift ideas.
  • Dress warmly for an outdoor market in late November, and warm up with Bohemian treats and live music between rounds of the stalls.
