Advent in Český Krumlov: Christmas markets, atmosphere and tips
Advent in Český Krumlov: Christmas markets on Svornosti Square, lit-up lanes, events and practical tips on parking and where to stay.
Advent in Český Krumlov is magical. The lanes glow with fairy lights, the square smells of mulled wine and gingerbread, and the town is calmer than in summer.
Christmas markets
The main Christmas markets are held on náměstí Svornosti (Svornosti Square), just a short way from us – about a 5-minute walk. You’ll find stalls selling handmade crafts, decorations, punch and local treats. Throughout Advent there are concerts, the lighting of the Christmas tree and other events.
What to do during Advent
- An evening stroll through the illuminated town, with views of the castle.
- Advent concerts in the churches and on the square.
- The castle courtyards in their wintry atmosphere.
- A trip up Kleť for a winter view, if the weather plays along.
Practical tips
- Parking – on Advent weekends the car parks near the centre fill up fast. If you’re staying with us, you leave the car by your room and walk to the markets.
- Warm shoes – the cobblestones in the centre can be slippery.
- Book early – Advent weekends are among the most sought-after dates.
