Destination Prague

Shopping

If you want to shop for uniquely Czech products in Prague, you should visit the small boutiques selling domestic designer clothes, and look for reproductions of the utility designs created by Czech modernists in the 1920s and ’30s—both sectors have grown considerably in recent years. Another traditional item to shop for is Bohemian cut glass.

Main Shopping Areas

Prague’s main shopping areas are situated in New Town: on Václavské námesti (Wenceslas Square), and, immediately below, on the pedestrian mall Na Příkopě. There are large individual shops and chain stores such as H&M, Zara, and Marks & Spencers, as well as several large department stores.
Address: Václavské námesti (Wenceslas Square).

Designer Clothes

Even though there are no exact shopping areas for smaller shops with designer clothing, you will encounter a small concentration of them on Karoliny Světlé and Bartolomějská streets, in New Town. Boutiques such as Leeda, Toalette and Alice Abraham offer a good starting point.
Address: Karoliny Světlé street Bartolomějská street

Antiques and Art

If you take a stroll from the market place Havelské tržiště in Old Town, across Michalská street, you will find several antique shops and stores displaying typical Prague artwork on the way.
Address: Havelské tržiště in Old Town

Cut glass

The Czech Republic is deservedly well-known for its cut glass, and a wide range is on offer at the shops around Staroměstské náměsti (Old Town Square).
Address: Staroměstské náměsti (Old Town Square)

The work of young Czech designers can be found at Qubus at Rámová 3, not far from the Old Town Square.
