Prague Farmers’ Markets Reopen for the 2025 Season

Prague’s beloved farmers’ markets are gearing up for another season. Two iconic markets—Náplavka in Prague 2 and Kubáň in Prague 10—will open their stalls on Saturday, February 1.

Náplavka: Celebrating 16 Years of Community and Fresh Produce

Sixteen years ago, the first-ever farmers’ market on Prague’s Rašínovo nábřeží embankment marked the start of a tradition that few initially believed would thrive. “Attempts to establish a market here had failed before. Even farmers were skeptical at first, and we had to work hard to convince them,” recalls Jiří Sedláček, chairman of the Archetyp Association, which operates the market.

The persistence paid off. From its humble beginnings with just 28 vendors, Náplavka has grown into a bustling marketplace with 90 to 100 stalls offering an array of farm-fresh goods every Saturday from February to December, 8 a.m. to 2 p.m.

This year, the market will reopen on February 1, featuring handmade salamis, artisanal pâtés, pickled meats, fresh fish (weather permitting), pastries, spices, and a variety of other culinary delights.

Kubáň: A Neighbourhood Market

Farmers’ markets on Kubánské náměstí have been a staple of Prague 10 since 2010. After a few changes in management over the years, the Archetyp association returned in 2019 to restore its original charm.

Shoppers can look forward to a variety of goods, including fresh milk, yogurt, sausages, meat, baked goods, and grilled fish. In February, two special Slaughterhouse Feasts will take place on the 8th and 22nd, offering hearty, traditional fare and a chance to indulge in Czech culinary traditions.

Heřmaňák: A Cosy, Sustainable Market

Heřmaňák, located on Řezáčovo náměstí in Prague 7, stands out as the first partially packaging-free farmers’ market in the Czech Republic. Surrounded by mature ash trees, this small, intimate market has been running since 2017 and operates year-round, weather permitting.

The market emphasizes sustainability, encouraging customers to bring their own packaging and offering opportunities to donate items like eggshells or stale pastries to free-range chicken farms.

On February 15, Heřmaňák will host its popular ZAB Heřmaňák slaughter feast, providing yet another opportunity to celebrate traditional Czech cuisine and culture.
