Manifesto Market, Prague’s Trendy Outdoor Market, Prague, Czech Republic

I’m a big fan of repurposed wares and spaces. So I was thrilled earlier this year when the carefully curated Manifesto Market opened up near Florenc, in an area that was previously a garbage-filled empty lot under a highway overpass. Manifesto Market consists of a series of shipping containers housing mini pop-up versions of some of Prague’s most delicious and diverse restaurants.

At Manifesto, you can get a poke bowl or a burger or a craft cocktail all in one place, making it the perfect place to go with friends who are all in the mood for something different. If you happen to live in Prague, it’s a good way to discover great restaurants that you may not have otherwise visited.

A big part of the Manifesto concept is that it’s all cashless, a rarity when it comes to street markets. You don’t have to fumble for coins in your bag, you just swipe or tap your card to shop. If you order a dish that might take a little while, you usually get a pager, allowing you to roam around the market and pick up drinks or do some shopping while you wait for your food.

Manifesto Market also has some small shops where you can buy anything from groceries to sunglasses or purses, all made by local artists, vendors, and designers. It’s like a much smaller version of Dyzajn Market, which sets up outside Narodni Divadlo about once a month. This is nice if you’re looking for something a little different like a unique wallet or lavender syrup - something you can’t get at H&M or from a local drugstore. ......
