Over the Christmas break John and I were lucky enough to visit Prague again. Since getting married there last July, we didn't expect to be back so soon, but a cheap flight made it an easy choice.
Prague's best Christmas market is in the Old Town Square. There is such a wintery, magical atmosphere there at Christmas time, and we actually prefer visiting the city in the winter because of it. The Christmas market had a stage set up with a choir singing carols at night, a stable with cute animals, the usual street performers, souvenir stalls, a HUGE Christmas tree, and the best thing of all... DELICIOUS FOOD!
Having lunch in the square was great. We picked up a few sausages and some hand-made chips, and warmed up with some hot chocolate and mulled wine. Of course there were tons of other things to eat and drink as well, such as trdlo - the traditional rolled pastry, and Prague ham sandwiches grilled with cheese. Prague is definitely a food-lover's destination (especially those of the carnivore-type). While I don't eat much meat, it was hard to pass up one of those sausages...
Prague is a very special city to us, and the first time we ever visited it was during Christmas time. It is such a beautiful place, you feel like you've just stepped into a fairy tale. Despite travelling there three times already, we aren't sick of it yet. It just keeps us wanting to visit again and again and again!
