Prague City Hall launches web guide to all the city’s holiday events

Prague City Hall has launched a new section for Christmas on its web portal. Residents and visitors will find information about Christmas events organized by the city districts and institutions such as the Prague Zoo and the Municipal Library. The website will also include current photos of Christmas markets in Old Town and Wenceslas Square, which run from November 30 to January 6.

It also points out events such as the historically costumed lamp lighters who will light the gas lamps on Charles Bridge at sunset December 1–23, and family events such as special events on public transportation, performances of holiday music, or places to go on December 5 to see angels and devil on the eve of St Nicholas (Svatý Mikuláš). Information is in Czech but can easily be translated with online tools.

There is also information about live Christmas trees that can be planted after the holidays, and other ecological news.

“Christmas and the Christmas markets in Prague are inherently linked to a greater concentration of people in some places, which is why, as every year, we are introducing preventive security measures. One of them is the repeated lighting of the Christmas tree, which has proved its worth. Thanks to this bonus people will not have to squeeze at one point in one place, which contributes to their greater safety and comfort,” Deputy Mayor Petr Hlubuček (United Force for Prague) said.
