The decision to close 🎅 due to the pandemic of coronavirus hit everyone: vendors, locals and tourists. However, not all is lost. Municipal authorities of Prague 1 decided that the market in Václavské náměstí should be considered a cultural event and thus restrictions adopted by the Czech government doesn't apply to it. With this decision there is hope that other Christmas markets might also reopen soon. If it happens, don't hesitate to check out my personal favorite in Náměstí Míru where locals usually go and prices are not as high as elsewhere.
And even if only the one in Václavské náměstí remains open, it's still worthy to check it out, enjoy atmosphere and support vendors who really struggle this year. Anyway, in most of European cities there is normally just one Christmas market. In Prague there are many.

🚄How to get there? The easiest way is to take a metro, green line, and exit at the stop Národní Museum. Market takes place in front of the building of National Museum that you can see on my second photos. You will not miss it ;) You can also exit at Mustek station but it has many exits and it's still a bit of walking from there, that's why I recommend the first solution.
