Advantages: very christmassy, snow, mulled wine, christmas fair

Disadvantages: crime

We visited Prague around xmas time, with snow, and the market in the old town square, including a real live nativity scene, it was magical (but cold)
We stayed in the Rennaisscence Prague Hotel, which was about 15 minutes walk to the old town square. very comfie room, the biggest breakfast choice ever, and a lovely indoor pool and sauna to warm you up after a days sightseeing. Very good standard of hotel.
So much to see and do- take a pony and trap ride around the town, very romantic. Charles Bridge is beautiful with all its statues., but you must visit Prague Castle with its catherdral - its a whole day experience. If you are splashing out stay at the hotel pariz- an art deco building that is just stunning. Not a great place for dieter. Lots of stodgy, warming food, great for a winter warmer.
Only down side, could feel a little threatening off the beaten track, and pickpockets are rife at tourisy places

Summary: a lovely city break for winter
