Christmas Markets Prague: They will not be limited yet
The Christmas markets on the Old Town Square are held every year, but last year they were canceled in their entirety due to the pandemic.

Login plans to present Taiko at a press conference on Wednesday.
After Friday’s meeting of the crisis staff at the municipality, the mayor’s deputy Petr Hlubuček (STAN) said that the market operator decides on the program. “We are not in a position to decide whether or not there will be organized programs, “He said. He added that it would also depend on other measures approved by the government.
