A place to shop since the 13th century

Word to the wise: Stall holders often quote higher prices for visitors than for locals, so be prepared to barter.

The oldest market in the capital, Havel’s has been continuously open since 1232. Originally selling fresh fruit and produce, it has since branched out to include flowers, arts and crafts, leather goods, wooden toys, ceramics and much more.

It's proximity to the Old Town square means that it caters to visitors' tastes as well as locals, selling Czech specialties such as Bohemian crystal, glass jewellery, spa wafers, local honey, ornate boxes and traditional games and books.
