Embassy of the Netherlands in the Czech Republic

It’s that time of the year again! 🎁

One of the most important traditions shared by 🇨🇿 and 🇳🇱 has to be Svatý Mikuláš, also known as Sinterklaas or Saint Nicholas. Whereas most children in both Czechia and the Netherlands will expect to encounter Saint Nicholas on December 5th, Ambassador Daan Huisinga and Prague’s Dutch community already had the honor of receiving the Good Saint and his crew a bit earlier!

Afterwards, Sinterklaas and his crew spiced up the Xmas market in the Old Town Square.
