atmosphere with spa elegance. Karlovy Vary is definitely one of the most interesting Czech destinations. The Christmas markets take place right between the colonnades, hot springs, and historic houses along the Tepl\u00e1 River. Compared to large city markets, they are more romantic, and you can easily combine your visit with a wellness stay, mineral spring tasting, or an evening stroll through the illuminated spa center.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\" data-start=\"1132\" data-end=\"1548\"><em><strong>Since I was born in the Karlovy Vary region and return here regularly, we never miss these markets.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1132\" data-end=\"1548\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-18663\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dovolenkarka.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/IMG_4995.jpeg\" alt=\"Advent in Karlovy Vary\" width=\"1170\" height=\"876\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dovolenkarka.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/IMG_4995.jpeg 1170w, https:\/\/www.dovolenkarka.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/IMG_4995-768x575.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1170px) 100vw, 1170px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2 data-section-id=\"1rwapz8\" data-start=\"1550\" data-end=\"1583\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Karlovy_Vary_Christmas_Markets_2026\"><\/span>Karlovy Vary Christmas Markets 2026<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3 data-section-id=\"zeftpt\" data-start=\"1976\" data-end=\"2026\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Christmas_Markets_Karlovy_Vary_%E2%80%93_2026_Dates\"><\/span>Christmas Markets Karlovy Vary \u2013 2026 Dates<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<ul data-start=\"2028\" data-end=\"2236\">\n<li data-section-id=\"l5o7sf\" data-start=\"2028\" data-end=\"2068\"><strong data-start=\"2030\" data-end=\"2068\">November 29, 2026 \u2013 January 1, 2027<\/strong><\/li>\n<li data-section-id=\"15mt36b\" data-start=\"2069\" data-end=\"2104\"><strong data-start=\"2071\" data-end=\"2087\">Main Markets:<\/strong> Mill Colonnade<\/li>\n<li data-section-id=\"18w50gy\" data-start=\"2105\" data-end=\"2181\"><strong data-start=\"2107\" data-end=\"2139\">Christmas Tree Lighting:<\/strong> November 29, 2026, the first Sunday of Advent<\/li>\n<li data-section-id=\"c9m747\" data-start=\"2182\" data-end=\"2236\"><strong data-start=\"2184\" data-end=\"2202\">Christmas Tree:<\/strong> area in front of Hotel Thermal<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-18670\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dovolenkarka.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/IMG_5009.jpeg\" alt=\"Christmas Karlovy Vary\" width=\"1170\" height=\"652\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dovolenkarka.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/IMG_5009.jpeg 1170w, https:\/\/www.dovolenkarka.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/IMG_5009-768x427.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1170px) 100vw, 1170px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2 data-section-id=\"1rmxra9\" data-start=\"2513\" data-end=\"2572\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Accommodation_in_Karlovy_Vary\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.booking.com\/searchresults.en.html?city=-547025&amp;aid=347511&amp;no_rooms=1&amp;group_adults=2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Accommodation in Karlovy Vary<\/a><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.booking.com\/searchresults.en.html?city=-547025&amp;aid=347511&amp;no_rooms=1&amp;group_adults=2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>If you want to enjoy the atmosphere to the fullest, stay right in the center. <\/strong><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" id=\"stay22-widget\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stay22.com\/embed\/6a9978ec10f03364e3431a12\" width=\"100%\" height=\"428\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2574\" data-end=\"2979\">Hotel Romance is a beautiful Art Nouveau hotel right by the colonnade with excellent buffet breakfasts, Hotel Corso is a 4* design wellness hotel, and OLYMPIC PALACE is a luxury 5* hotel right by the colonnades.
