Stall 56: good! The seller is a cool guy.
Stall 10: the guy, OK. The lady, an unbelievably rude witch.
Stall number 7: how could that lady be so rude to me, for no reason? I picked a mango and a pepper. Both had a discounted price (the mango was quite ripe, so the lady should perfectly know that I had picked it from the tray for discounted items). She didn't even ask me to make sure of it. When she told me the price, which was much higher than expected as she hadn't applied any discount, I politely told her that both were discounted items. And she, in a very rude manner and bitterly, scolded me like: "You have to let me know in advance!". And then I was like "Ok. Next time I will... but nevermind" (like hinting that she had made a scene for nothing).
She didn't apologize. She just told me the right price and said thank you. I was still so dazed, that I could not say a word. I just walked away as soon as she gave me the change back. Maybe she just had a bad day, I don't know... and everybody has the right to make mistakes but... as well, everybody has the moral duty of apologizing after such a regretable slip-up. Even though I spoke to her in Czech, I was mistreated. Just demeaning. I'm wondering whether she would have treated me this way in case I were a Czech woman, or foreigner, it doesn't matter.
Other than that, that's pretty much what you can expect in this market. High prices, but most of the stalls have some fruits and veggies on sale, and most of them are quite ripe but still edible . And yeah, one day in one of the stalls I had a friendly talk with the sellers (in Czech). Therefore, overall it pays off to stop by there if you...
Read moreI stepped into Holešovice Market and was immediately struck by its contemporary vibe. With OSB board accents and the soft hum of young people working on laptops, I felt I'd stumbled into a modern oasis in Prague. I found myself drawn to the hip dishes, including the intriguing chili fries, which seemed to challenge the traditional concept of market fare.
Exploring further, I noticed the market's industrial flair, with second-hand shops and food trucks blending past and present. The familiar aroma of a smash burger teased my senses, finding its bold place among the new culinary classics. Everywhere I looked, there was something fresh and exciting to discover.
As the day wore on, I sensed a healthy mix of locals and tourists, all weaving through the stalls and eateries. I quickly learned that timing was crucial; the best food seemed to vanish quickly, and the market stalls began to close around 15:00. I felt a thrill of urgency, a pulse that seemed to drive the very heart of the market.
Reflecting on my day at Holešovice Market, I realized it wasn't just a place to shop or eat. It was where I found unexpected connections, tasted the now, and embraced a piece of contemporary Prague. This market became more than a destination for me; it was a personal experience, one I'll carry with me, resonating with both comfort...
