Experience Czech Christmas Traditions
Christmas in Czechia is full of traditions that make the festive season truly special. On 5 December, St. Nicholas, accompanied by an angel and a devil, visits children to reward good behaviour. Throughout Advent, Czech homes fill with the scent of vánoční cukroví — traditional Christmas cookies prepared in countless shapes and flavours.
The main celebration takes place on Christmas Eve, 24 December. Families gather for a festive dinner, traditionally featuring fried carp and potato salad, before Ježíšek — the Czech Baby Jesus — brings the presents. It’s a wonderful opportunity to discover the local culture and experience Christmas beyond the markets.
Welcome the New Year with a Winter Getaway
Looking for a memorable way to welcome the New Year? Spend New Year’s Eve in Prague, unwind in the spa towns of Karlovy Vary or Mariánské Lázně, or head to the mountains for a few days of winter hiking and snowy views. The Krkonoše, Šumava and Jeseníky regions are ideal for a refreshing break from everyday life.
Getting there is easy, too. On ehotel.cz, you can purchase train and bus vouchers for your journey across Czechia, including options from České dráhy, RegioJet, Leo Express and FlixBus. Combine your travel vouchers with accommodation from our hotel network and make the most of your benefit points. If your balance doesn’t cover the full amount, you can pay the difference by card.
Whether you’re planning a Christmas market visit, a relaxing spa stay or a winter adventure, your next getaway is closer than you think.
