Best Early Booking Offer: Christmas Market Break in Prague & Brno, 3 Nights from €369pp
If you are looking for a Christmas market break, without the crowds, then Brno, Czechia, should be on your wish list! Brno was awarded the coveted title of European capital of Christmas in 2024 and is regarded as having one of the best Christmas markets in Europe. We think a twin-centre with Prague is a great shout!
Located about 2 hours by train from Prague (only €7 with Regiojet), and 90 minutes from both Vienna and Bratislava, Brno is easily accessible with numerous flight options. Brno’s Christmas markets were open from November 21, 2025 – December 31st, 2025.- see more here, so we have selected flights departing the 29th of November from Dublin to Prague with Aer Lingus for €199, which include 10kg checked baggage. Flights are also available from Cork to Prague with Aer Lingus for similar cost.
If you want to be right in the heart of the Old Town, the 4 Star Hotel Pegas is one of the most popular hotels in Brno, and is priced at €117 per person for a two-night stay with breakfast. Combine that with an overnight stay at the 4 Star Adler Hotel in Prague at the end of your trip, (sure it would be rude not to!), and the total cost is just €369 per person!
