The Cheb market square has been the center of city life for hundreds of years. It is called “King George of Poděbrad Square” (Náměsti Krále Jiřího z Poděbrad). This king, who ruled from 1458 to 1471, is little known, but was actually a visionary of European unification and of far greater importance to the city than the famous Duke Albrecht of Wallenstein, who was murdered in a house on this site in 1634. For George from Poděbrady, Eger was probably the most important city in Bohemia after Prague; he resided at Eger Castle four times. In 1462, the king drew up the first European peace plan: the continent was to be united with a confederation of states. In 1960 a monument was erected to him here at the “Scharfen Eck” at the tourist information center. The real landmark of the market square, whose structure dates back to the 13th century, is a group of houses whose core dates back to the late Gothic period, the Cheb Stöckl (Špalíček).

A wonderful market square that has its own special charm even on an October day and invites you to linger:

"The Cheb market square is called "Square of King George of Poděbrad" (Náměsti Krále Jiřího z Poděbrad). This king is hardly known to us. In fact, however, he was one of the intellectual fathers of European unification and of far greater importance to the city of Cheb/Eger than the famous Duke Albrecht von Wallenstein, who was murdered here in 1634. ..."

A small but very nice, cozy Christmas market. Typical local, special Czech delicacies are offered. You can also buy some arts and crafts here. Ice skating on the ice rink is also possible. A stage for one or two programs is also available. The Christmas market is open until December 24th.
