Christmas markets
In Prague you will find Christmas markets scattered right across the city. Most are open daily and sell a variety of local and imported goods with the smaller markets tending to have more obscure (and interesting) items for sale. There is one in Wencelas Square (named after the good King himself) and another decent one in Jiřího z Poděbrad Square, directly in front of the Church of the Most Sacred Heart of our Lord. The Church is one of Prague’s best examples of 20th century architecture. Designed by Jože Plečnik and built between 1929 and 1932 it was inspired by Egyptian temples and early Christian basilicas. Its simple minimal interior contrasts dramatically with the opulent decadence of many other churches.
