Christmas in Prague

24th of December is considered as a quite day in Prague, since many of the people stay home with their families and celebrate the holiday. On the other hand this facts makes the day wonderful for exploring Prague. Most of the tours on this day are offered in the morning, and only small number of bars and restaurant will be open. So plan well if you want to spend the day around the city.
