Prague Chrismas markets are bursting with decorative gingerbread cookies.The fish is a carp, the most recognized Czech Christmas symbol, as Czech families eat carp and potato salad as their Christmas evening meal. About 10 days before Christmas, large plastic tubs of water loaded with fresh fish swimming around appear on every other street corner. Families choose a fish from the tub, and have the choice to take it home alive and allow it to swim around the bathtub until Christmas Eve arrives.Read more about European Christmas Markets and Reflections on Dresden's Christmas Market.

Notice the block apartment buildings in the distance. These are the block housing communities built up on the outskirts of town, called panalaks in Czech. Luckily, Prague was spared these buildings in the central part of town. © www.uncorneredmarket.com

One of the many pho stands at Prague's Vietnamese market in Malesice. Having spent a month in Vietnam earlier this year, we can attest that this pho is pretty authentic. Make sure you ask for a plate of fresh herbs.
This isn't Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh City. We frequented these markets to stock up on Thai curry pastes, fresh Thai basil and cilantro, and to get our fill of large bowls of pho. Dan became such a regular at one food shop that when he'd walk in, the woman would ask what he was cooking that day and would give advice on ingredients and recipes.© www.uncorneredmarket.com
Yes, this is still Prague. The Vietnamese market is the place to go for hard-to-find ingredients like Thai basil and Asian eggplants.

In addition to the main Christmas market on the Old Town Square, there are several neighborhood Christmas markets including this one at Namesti Miru (Peace Square), where locals drop by day and night to shop, spend time with friends, and fill up on svarak (spiced wine), sausages, nuts, and sweets.Read more about European Christmas Markets and Reflections on Dresden's Christmas Market.

The Loreta Church is located very near the Prague Castle, but is secluded enough to be a peaceful retreat from the tourist throngs.© www.uncorneredmarket.com
