Two Christmas markets kick off holiday season in Czech capital

This weekend, two Christmas markets will open in the center of Prague. Starting Saturday, visitors can browse hand-made goods and traditional Czech Christmas fare at the Christmas market on Prague’s Old Town square that boasts some one hundred booths and will feature live music from around the world. On Sunday, a smaller and more modern market in the Czech capital’s center 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.
