Farmers' markets are back! Get fresh produce directly from farmers in Prague.

The markets at Náplavka Rašínovo nábřeží start at the end of January and are open every Saturday from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Here you can buy fresh vegetables, fruit, meat from Czech farmers, smoked meats from small family butchers, delicious baked goods, free-range eggs, high-quality chicken and even chilled pasta. The Náplavka markets specialise in high-quality, fresh Czech farm products and goods from trusted growers, breeders and producers. We also offer natural and ethical cosmetics, handmade decorations and flower arrangements. Excellent food and live music are also part of a relaxing Saturday experience at Náplavka. Vendors are happy to support you if you bring your own containers, bags and sacks, and they appreciate it when you choose eco-friendly materials over plastic. Popular gastronomic events are held throughout the year, such as Růžový máj (Pink May) on 16 May, Pivo na Náplavce (Beer on the Embankment) on 19–20 June, and Svatomartinské slavnosti (St. Martin’s Day celebrations) on 7 November.

Heřmaňák in Holešovice is a smaller but very cosy farmers’ market offering quality fresh vegetables, fruit, baked goods, smoked meats, free-range eggs, chicken and beef from organic farms, Czech flowers and decorative flowers, delicious desserts and even some handicrafts and original works of art. In addition to all this, there are also treats and feed for dogs and other animals. The markets at Heřmaňák take place every Saturday from 8:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., and it is traditional to trade here “without plastic bags”. You can support this ecological idea by shopping with your own bags. In winter, when temperatures are below zero, vegetables, flowers and baked goods may not be available at the market in order to stay fresh. Therefore, if you are unsure, check the Facebook page of the local organisers. The markets at Heřmaňák also come alive throughout the year with gastronomic events – for example, on 14 February, there will be a pig slaughter feast, and on 7 November, roast goose will be served.

At the Kubáň farmers’ market, you will find fresh vegetables, herbs, flowers, fruit, smoked meats, meat products and dairy products from certified Czech farms, homemade bread, cakes, excellent coffee, beer from small breweries and other honest food… The market is located in a quiet spot in the middle of Vršovice Park, where you can sit by the fountain. It is a very pleasant place for families with children. The selection changes according to the season and day of the week. Weather permitting, various themed celebrations are held here, such as honey, flowers or pumpkin carving… For example, on 14 February, all pork lovers will gather at Kubáň for the Pig Slaughter Feast. Honey Day is planned for 18 September, Pumpkin Day traditionally in October, and St. Martin’s Day with roast goose will arrive on 7 November.

The markets at Kulaťák in Dejvice start on 7 March and run every Saturday from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. until December, when they smoothly transition into Advent markets. At Kulaťák, you can buy almost everything you need for the whole week and at the same time enjoy good food, quality coffee and chat with neighbours, farmers, friends or acquaintances. Every month there is a specialised event. Some of them are traditional – for example, Easter on 4 April and the Small Brewery Festival on 12 September. Another popular event is the Embassy Festival – Food and Culture on 6 June, which is the largest showcase of foreign gastronomy and culture under the auspices of embassies. The markets also focus on ecological activities – great emphasis is placed on waste sorting and reducing plastic waste.

The markets on Jiřího z Poděbrad Square will start this year on 11 March and will offer a wide selection of quality smoked meats from small artisans, sourdough bread, local bakery products, fresh cheeses, butter, fish, meat, honey and even ceramics and handmade products related to gastronomy. There is also a wide selection of pickled vegetables, jams and other preserves, as well as apple, pear and cherry chips. Herbal syrups are also available to promote good health. Vendors here present their goods without plastic. What exactly does that mean?

They sell their products in 100% biodegradable bags made from corn starch. These bags do not harm the environment and do not increase the amount of waste. Plastic cups are replaced by bio cups and returnable cups that can be reused. A great way to reduce plastic use is to bring your own shopping baskets or canvas bags. The markets at Jiřák are open every Wednesday to Fridayfrom 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. and every Saturdayfrom 8:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.
