A light-hearted guide to Prague at Christmas

Prague residents have always cherished Christmas celebrations. The combination of customs from Czechs, Germans, Jews, Italians, Poles and other nationalities gave rise to a whole range of purely Praguian Christmas rituals, which began on the first of December and continued until the Epiphany. Let's travel back to the times when chimney sweeps, Barborkas and Luckas roamed the city. Let's remember where the vánočka for Prague Castle was baked and where the first Czech nativity scene appeared. Let's peek into the houses of the bourgeoisie and the city's outskirts, and let ourselves be carried away by the magic of the olden days.
