The Christmas market in Hradec Kr\u00e1lov\u00e9 is located in the city’s historical centre on the expansive Great Square.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The area becomes a bustling hub, filled with stalls offering everything from traditional gingerbread and sweets such as wood-fired trdeln\u00edk (chimney cake) to quality Czech wines and hot cider. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can shop for various Christmas decorations and gifts, including toys, ceramics and original handcrafted products. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The city’s location, near the confluence of the Labe and Orlice rivers, combined with the city’s mix of Gothic, Renaissance, Baroque, and modern architecture, creates a great atmosphere that encapsulates the city’s rich history and elegance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
