Markets Czech Republic

Are you tired of the fat food and unbalanced meals that characterize Czech cuisine, which is excellent on the other hand, but is indeed high in cholesterol? Do dishes in sauce lead your average daytime walk? If you have a small kitchen in your rental and want to cook something healthy and organic by yourself, you will find in this small supermarket in the city centre something to quickly fill up with fresh and seasonal produce. For a solid dose of vitamins in the heart of old Prague.

It's the biggest market in town. There are food stands (fruit, vegetables, meat) at unbeatable prices, kilometres of aisles (covered, under sheds, outside) where cheap clothes are sold. Also tool shops, sports and camping equipment at very low prices. You can also eat there at the many terraces of shops serving beer and sausages, which are very numerous and always very cheap.

Havelský market takes place every day, along the length of this pretty street/place lined with arcades reminiscent of its long trading tradition. Of modest size, it has existed since 1232. Fruits, vegetables, a lot of delicatessen and cheese are still sold there, but the atmosphere is becoming more and more touristic. There are more and more souvenir stands. There are toys, paintings, gingerbread and, at Christmas, Christmas tree decorations.

Located on the square Jiřího z Poděbrad the farmer's market of Jiřák is a real institution in the district. You will find delicious fresh produce, freshly prepared dishes and local crafts. Everything comes from the farms located in the Prague region. It's fresh, it's local, it's seasonal and the atmosphere is warm and friendly. Pleasant in summer when you refresh yourself with good fruit juices and in winter when you come to lay your hands on a glass of mulled wine! Unmissable, even if you don't live in the neighbourhood.

A highly trendy place located on the banks of the Vltava River, the Náplavka Farmers' Market offers excellent fresh local produce every Saturday as well as numerous stands that prepare various culinary specialities from all over the world. This place is very popular in the summer, when the culinary stroll along the market stalls is often accompanied by a few beers and sausages on the go at the nearby stands
