Spring is an ideal time to visit Prague: the weather is mild, the royal gardens are beginning to bloom, and the Easter markets are in full swing, selling delicate hand-painted eggs and whips.
Easter in Prague Markets offers a festive combination of food and drink and the sale of painted eggs and pomlázka. Old Town Square is the liveliest with its program of Easter folk music and dance on the main stage throughout the duration of the market (Mar 3 – April 11). Republic Square (Mar 21 – Apr 12), Wenceslas Square (Mar 21 – Apr 12) and, more off the beaten path though worth the trip for its unique vendors, Peace Square (Mar 21 – Apr 6) also offer revelry and refreshment.
While out and about at the Easter market, be sure to sample some of the traditional Czech Easter foods that also make an appearance at bakeries and restaurants this time of year.
The most common item though is Easter eggs, made of the shells of hen eggs or wood, hand-painted in a variety of colours and designs.
Surrounding the market huts, in and around the squares, are trees in blossom, and an abundance of flowers and colourful ribbons tied to the branches of birch trees.
Another feature of the Prague Easter Markets is music and dance. School choirs and folk groups dressed in traditional costume perform in the late afternoon on a stage at the Old Town Square, with children travelling from all over the country to appear.
