About this tour
This session covers Havelské tržiště, one of the old town's oldest street markets, from its stalls to a close look at what is on sale. You see the market's layout, then a produce stall and how it balances local shoppers with visiting ones. It is a food-focused look at everyday old town life.
I start among the stalls and move to a specific one for the second stop, timing questions around whatever is in season. Questions come throughout, and I am happy to point out a specific vendor's history if you ask. A short note on the market's opening hours follows by message afterwards.
This suits anyone who wants to see the old town's everyday commerce rather than only its monuments. It also works well before or after a longer Old Town Square session.
Included
- Live video session with a local guide
- A close look at the dishes and where locals buy them
- A short list of places and dishes to try later
Not included
- Food and drinks shown on camera
- Travel to the city

Questions about this tour
What will the session cover?
The guide walks through Prague, showing you Havelské tržiště stalls and A produce stall close up live on camera, plus whatever else you would like to see.
What happens if my connection drops?
Rejoin with the same link within a few minutes and the guide will catch you up on anything you missed.
Can I ask the guide questions during the session, or is it a fixed script?
Anything, any time. Sessions leave room for your own questions throughout, not just at the end.

No. This is a conversation: the guide describes the dishes and where to find them, so you can try them yourself whenever suits you.
