LCA runs the Náměstí Míru market too, and here it sets out dozens of stalls on náměstí Republiky and runs them toward V Celnici. Prague City Tourism lists mistletoe, Advent wreaths, candles, nativity scenes and Advent calendars, and the usual hot food and drink. The Municipal House and the Powder Tower stand at the square's western corner, and from there Celetná leads straight to Old Town Square.
Worth knowing
- Metro line B stops at Náměstí Republiky, right under the stalls.
- Daily hours in 2025 were 10:00 to 20:00. The organizer has not posted 2026 hours.
