Verified November updates
From science open days to the Velvet Revolution anniversary and the first Christmas markets, here are seven practical November updates checked against organisers' published programmes. This bulletin is in English and Czech while the full 25-language November Prague Guide is still being prepared.
2026-11-02 – 2026-11-08
The national programme includes Prague lectures, guided visits and laboratory events. Admission is free, but some activities have limited capacity and require an advance booking. Choose your specific Prague event on the official programme rather than assuming walk-in entry.
2026-11-02 – 2026-11-22
The organiser's 2026 programme lists Brooklyn Rider at Signal Space on 2 November, Hiromi in Lucerna on 10 November and the late-November Rudolfinum residency, among other concerts. Check the official programme and ticket conditions for each performance.
2026-11-11
The traditional procession sets off at 11:11 from the eleventh pier of Charles Bridge, continuing toward Křižovnické Square. Organisers list a themed market and seasonal food. Allow for pedestrian crowds on and around the bridge.
2026-11-17
The anniversary commemorates the Nazi repression of Czech students in 1939 and the events that triggered the Velvet Revolution in 1989. Korzo Národní's main street programme is announced for 10:00–20:00, with outdoor exhibitions from 08:00 and an installation accessible until 22:00. Expect very dense crowds around the 17:11 performance of Modlitba pro Martu.
2026-11-17
The organiser states that Národní třída will be closed to cars all day and to trams after the night service ends at about 05:00; trams should return after midnight. The closure also affects tram service over Legií Bridge. The closest metro stations are Můstek and Národní třída. Check Prague public transport again on the day before setting out.
2026-11-25 – 2026-12-24
Prague City Tourism lists the Republic Square Christmas market for 25 November through 24 December. This opens earlier than the two large central markets; check individual stall opening hours before visiting.
2026-11-28 – 2027-01-06
The market organiser confirms that the Old Town Square and Wenceslas Square Christmas markets are scheduled from 28 November 2026 to 6 January 2027, typically 10:00–22:00. These are planned dates, not a guarantee about any individual stall or day-of-visit restriction.
