Havelské tržiště

It's a nice, not-too-big market in the center of Prague. It was evening when I visited, but the stalls were open and there were people. There was fruit, snacks, and souvenirs. I expected the prices to be high, but they were surprisingly reasonable. I especially recommend buying magnets here; they have a great selection.

Perferct place for visiting Prague. You can buy snaks here, sweets, fresh fruits, souvenirs and more othet things. Usually the place is crowded. The market works every day. Enjoy!

tumbled on the market while walking to the old square town. It has many little shops for souvenir and fresh produce. it's affordable and unique find

Heading to the market was ok the list of places to visit whilst in Prague. Was good to walk around the market stalls and see some of the shops for souvenirs. Was lovely to see, although was more hype than it was worth. The fresh fruit stalls looked amazing, but wasn’t worth spending £8.50 on a small pot of fruit

Very nice place to look around. Doesn't have many things to sell there, but very attractive spot to visit.

A cute little market and fun to explore food stalls, produce and souvenirs. Fruits were on the pricier side so didnt buy any. Strudels were yummy!

As a Google hotel and restaurant reviewer, I enjoyed exploring Havelské tržiště, one of Prague’s oldest and most charming open-air markets. It’s a colorful mix of local souvenirs, wooden toys, handmade crafts, fresh fruit, and traditional sweets. The market has a nostalgic atmosphere, with vendors who have been here for generations, and it’s a great place to pick up gifts or taste something authentic while strolling through the historic center. While it’s more oriented towards visitors than locals these days, the prices are fair compared to nearby souvenir shops, and the setting adds to the overall experience. I recommend visiting in the morning, when it’s less crowded and you can take your time browsing. A pleasant stop for anyone who wants to enjoy a lively local tradition in the heart of Prague.

Great for atmosphere. Very little produce but rather a lot of the same souvenirs available in the many shops around Prague. No cards taken here, make sure you have cash.

Havelské tržiště is a local market dating from 1232 - more than edit: 700 years! In its current form it consists of a few more than a dozen vendors, not the biggest, and probably more geared towards tourists given the location. The vendors mostly feature produce (fruits and vegetables), a honey vendor, a cured meat and spices stand, a couple baked goods spots, a vintage/local handicrafts shop, a few souvenir stands. I came in the morning around 8am on a weekday and many of the stands were just setting up. Honestly the majority of Prague seems to buy their groceries at supermarkets so while this format is great in continuity of a tradition, though I'm not sure if it can sustain in its current form over the long run. Hours are January to December: Mon-Sat 7:00am to 7:00pm Sun 8:00am to 6:30pm

Worth a look but definitely a tourist stop more than anything. If you are looking for souvenirs, you will find plenty here.

This is a fairly modest little market located close to Prague's old town square (roughly a 3-5 min walk just a couple of blocks away). I actually just happened to stumble upon this place after wandering around the area. The market is full of trinkets and items that's very tourist-centric. Many of the proprietors sell cheap shit like magnets, cups, post cards etc. Some of the shops carry produce or simple fruits and vegetables. A few others feature local artisans who sell handmade jewelry and paintings. Even though generally this place feels touristy, some of the stuff did feel very local and cool. I ended up buying a few small paintings because of the nice drawings of St. Charles bridge and other local attractions. Personally I think this isn't a place that you make a point of visiting unless you had some extra free time and wanted to check out some reasonably priced items to take back home with you (if you're a tourist). However, if you do stop by, I wouldn't be surprised if you do happen upon this place that you'll still take a few minutes to check out what they have. Some merchants here are more pushy than others but generally they are all ok. Some of them are also flexible about bargaining.

A little pricey, but great for window shopping. It's a tourist must-do!

I don't think this market should be on any to-do lists. More than likely, folks will just stumble upon it while meandering through Old Town. The market is small and easy to loop, and most of the vendors are selling cheap trinkets to tourists. I walked around the whole market, which took about ten minutes, and left empty-handed. The quality of the items was too poor for me to willingly purchase anything, despite the dirt-cheap price tags. I'd say if you're looking for souvenirs, you're better off walking into any of the countless shops in the city center. But who knows -- perhaps others will have better luck!

Rick Steve's def mentioned this super duper historic area of farmers marketing, long before it was even in style in America. Close to the corner of Melantrichova and Havelska streets... get the schedule of when they're out selling. Make like a local while being a tourist.

The Havelské Tržiště (literally in English Havel's Market) is a permanent outdoor market close to the Old Town Square (Staroměstské Náměstí) and the Můstek metro stop. Beyond just being darned cute, I've found it to have some of the best prices and selection for touristy items near the Old Town--postcards (only Kč 5), magnets, mugs, and kitschy items abound, but you'll also find nicer options than in the made-in-China neon souvenir shops. My favorites are local artwork (both originals and prints), tea and food items, and metal and ceramic jewelry. I've brought home most of my gifts from here both times I've come to Prague. Unlike in most of Prague, the prices posted are somewhat negotiable--but not terribly, usually sticking close to what is posted. However, you'll find a significant price variation from stall to stall, so it behooves you to look around before you make your final purchases. The painting we got (the exact print) ranged from Kč 450 to Kč 700 depending on the stall, and fruit and snacks had a variation of about Kč 10.

This market is definitely not the most impressive in central Europe, but it was alright. They have a lot of small gift items that are at least somewhat less touristy than all of the surrounding shops (but still obviously aimed at tourists). The fruit and veg selection is minimal. The stop is still worthwhile, but don't expect anything amazing.

The Havelska Market caters mostly to tourists. It's a good place to pick up some cheap souvenirs. The market is small enough that you can do a quick walk around all of the stalls to see what's there first. Then you can go back to the places that piqued your interest. I generally stuck with the fresh fruit whenever I stopped by. You can get individual pieces of fruit that are great snacks to tide you over until mealtime. I did pick up a few magnets and post cards to send back to people at home. It's fairly cheap and you can barter with the vendors if you are inclined to do so. You won't find anything outstanding here, but it is local flavor.

This market looks nice when you first get there but taking a closer look its just cheap stuff made in china. Very much for tourist. There are some fruits In between which is nice. But I think it is much better to walk around the small streets around this area. You can find great Czech handmade things and antics in small shops. Don t waste your money on stuff you can buy anywhere, usually you go to markets to find something special, well here you will find this in small shops in the side streets.
