We Invite You to the Most Beautiful Christmas City

In the run‑up to Christmas, Prague takes on a truly magical charm. Lights, festive scents, music and historic architecture come together to create an atmosphere reminiscent of a traditional Christmas postcard. It is all the more enchanting when experienced in person. The Art Deco Imperial Hotel, located in the heart of the city, provides the perfect base for guests wishing to enjoy a quintessential festive stay in Prague.

Prague: One of the World’s Best Christmas Destinations

It is no coincidence that this festive wonderland regularly attracts global media accolades. With the historic centre’s atmosphere, a wide selection of Christmas markets and a rich cultural programme, Prague truly shines during the holiday season.

Among the most notable mentions are last year’s CNN award for “Best Christmas Markets Around the World,” the designation as “Top Christmas Destination” in 2023 by US News & World Report, and recognition in “Europe’s Top 5 Christmas Markets” by The Times.

With these and many other accolades, Prague continues to hold its reputation as a city that masterfully captures the spirit of the season.

Ice Skating in Central Prague to Warm Your Heart

Winter in Prague is not just about festive lights and markets — it’s also about seasonal activities that everyone can enjoy. This year’s advent features two popular ice rinks within easy reach of the Art Deco Imperial.

The ice rink on Ovocný trh near the Estates Theatre is open until the end of January 2026. Beloved by both locals and visitors, this 14 × 30 m rink offers skating every day from 10am to 8pm. Skating against the backdrop of historic buildings is an unforgettable seasonal experience.

Just a short stroll away, the ice surface at the lower end of Wenceslas Square links seamlessly with the local Christmas market. Here, too, you can hire skates of all sizes and enjoy a bit of winter activity — even trying out your first skating steps — before returning with fond memories of Prague.

Both rinks are easily reachable on foot from the hotel and make a perfect addition to your festive itinerary in the heart of the Old Town.
