Two Christmas markets kick off holiday season in Prague

A Christmas market opened in the centre of Prague on Saturday. Visitors can browse hand-made goods and traditional Czech Christmas fare at the market in Prague’s Old Town square that boasts some 100 stands and features live music from around the world. On Sunday, a smaller and more modern market in downtown Prague will open its gates to visitors at the bottom of Wenceslas Square. Throughout the city, a number of other Christmas markets will be held starting in late November and early December.
