The Prague Easter markets run daily from 24th March-15th April 2012 at the Old Town Square and Wenceslas Square. Wooden huts offer a variety of handcrafted products, such as crystal and glass-ware, jewellery, metal-ware, candles, wooden toys, embroidered cloth, and beautifully dressed puppets and dolls.

But the most common sight is brightly coloured, hand-painted Easter eggs, which Czech ladies dressed in traditional costume can personalise for visitors, by painting on a name or a special message.

The Prague Easter markets are not just about shopping though. The tastes and smells are equally enticing, with terribly unhealthy, but wonderfully tasty barbecued sausages and ice-cold Pilsner beer on sale. 

Several stalls have large hams roasting on spits. And there is a variety of traditional Czech sweets to try, like 'Trdelnik', a hot sugary coated pastry.

Meanwhile, stages erected at the Old Town Square and Wenceslas Square host school folk groups and dancers, who travel from all over the Czech Republic (and other European countries) to perform. Performances take place every day from mid-afternoon to early evening.
