Havelské tržiště
An open-air market in the Old Town centre that has operated since the 13th century, selling fruit, puppets, mead and handmade souvenirs.
Havel Market lies on Havelská Street between the Old Town Square and Wenceslas Square. A market has been held here since 1232, and it is the only open-air market in Prague that operates all year round. Stalls sell fresh fruit, Czech puppets, wooden toys, mead, handmade soaps and pottery. Prices vary, so compare, and some souvenirs are mass-produced. It is busiest in the morning, when you can buy a glass of freshly squeezed juice and wander. Nearby, Carolinum (Charles University) and the Estates Theatre, where Mozart's Don Giovanni premiered, are within walking distance.
