What you need to know
- Starts mid-bridge at the 11th pier, so the bridge fills up fast and the square is the calmer spot with small kids
- Best view at the Old Town end, where the snow handover and the market opening happen on Křižovnické náměstí
- Open street, no tickets, so you can watch the procession and leave whenever little ones are done
About
St. Martin rides a white horse across Charles Bridge, leading a costumed procession with banners and a flock of geese. Czech folk wisdom says Martin brings the first snow, so at the Old Town end he hands snow to Prague's burgomaster. Then a St. Martin's market opens on the square. Kids who like horses, animals and history in costume get the most from it.
