Celebrating Czech Christmas market traditions since 2019
Advent Guide CZ was founded by a small team of travel writers and Czech culture enthusiasts based in Prague and Brno. What started as a personal blog documenting visits to local Christmas markets has grown into a comprehensive resource trusted by thousands of visitors planning their Advent trips to the Czech Republic.
Our team visits every market we feature in person, sampling the food, talking to vendors, and testing practical information like transport links and opening hours. We believe that the best travel advice comes from repeated firsthand experience, not from desk research or press releases.
The Czech Republic hosts over 400 Christmas markets each year, from the grand spectacles on Prague's Old Town Square to tiny village celebrations with just a handful of stalls. Our goal is to cover this full range, helping visitors find experiences that match their interests, whether that means a sophisticated wine-tasting evening in Brno or a family-friendly afternoon in a small Bohemian town.
We accept no sponsorship or paid placements from market organisers. Every recommendation on this site reflects our genuine assessment based on personal visits.
Our team includes Czech and Moravian natives who bring cultural context and language skills that help us uncover details other guides miss.
Market dates, prices, and practical details change every season. We verify and update all content before each Advent period to ensure accuracy.
