Prague is an enchanting destination year-round, but it’s especially magical in December. The city’s medieval architecture, with its spires and cobbled streets, looks even more charming dusted with snow. The Christmas markets in Old Town Square and Wenceslas Square offer a magical atmosphere, with stalls selling traditional Czech holiday treats like trdelník (a sweet pastry) and svařák (mulled wine).
The historic Charles Bridge and Prague Castle are lit up with festive lights, making for romantic evening strolls. Prague’s fairytale atmosphere, combined with its rich history and holiday traditions, makes it one of Europe’s most beautiful cities to visit in December.
