In the Czech Republic, people commemorate All Souls' Day, also known as the Commemoration of All the Faithful Departed, held every year on November 2nd, the day after All Saints' Day. This traditional ritual involves decorating graves with fresh flowers, wreaths, and lighting candles, which symbolically illuminate the path for the souls of the departed. Visiting cemeteries like Olšany, Vinohrady, or Vyšehrad during the dark evening hours—when thousands of candles are glowing—offers a truly unforgettable and atmospheric experience.
Although Halloween is not celebrated in the Czech Republic as prominently as in the USA, Prague—with its historical buildings, mysterious alleys, and shadowy corners—provides the perfect setting for this spooky holiday. On October 31st, Halloween-themed events take place across the city, including trick-or-treating, colorful costume parades, lantern walks, festivals, themed markets, fairs, and pumpkin carving.
