In Prague, every year a huge fir tree is brought from the Sumava mountains, and at dusk, a curtain of light covers it, to the delight of passers-by. The city resounds with festive music. Churches or former monasteries are transformed into halls for carol, organ or symphony concerts. You can try the tasty truhlik (pastries) or you can enjoy a glass of mulled wine or warm honey liqueur, while the blacksmith makes you a unique souvenir, to always remind you of this Christmas.
You will also find traditional wooden souvenirs, decorative candles, Christmas ornaments, pottery, jewelry, glassware, embroidered lace, wooden toys, candles, Christmas tree ornaments, winter hats and gloves, and dolls dressed in traditional costumes.
