Antiques and Art

Even though there are no clearly defined 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 and Girls Without Clothes flagship store are a good starting point.

Prague’s main shopping areas are situated in New Town: on Václavské námesti (Wenceslas Square), and, immediately below, in 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.

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

Czechia is deservedly well-known for its cut glass, and a wide range is on offer at the shops around Staroměstské náměsti (Old Town Square). If you are looking for some serious glass masterpieces, get an appointment at Rony Plesl Studio or the Artěl Design Store.

The work of young Czech designers can be found at Qubus Design Studio on Ramova 3. Anyone looking for modernist designs (in cubism or functionalism traditions) can pay a visit to the shop of the Kibista gallery on Ovocný trh 19, also close to the Old Town Square.

At the Palladium Shopping Center you can find a wide range of shops spread over five floors. You will most probably find what you are searching for, whether it be toys or clothes, among the 180 shops here. You can also take a break at one of the restaurants or cafes.

Shopping Centre Letňany is the biggest shopping centre in Prague, and the biggest shopping centre in the whole of Czech Rebublic at that. This place has most things you would expect from a large shopping complex, such as stores, entertainment, and even indoor tennis courts and an ice skating rink.

Right in the centre of Prague you can find Queens. The Streetwise Store. This is the place to go for sneakers, hats, street clothes and other accessories. You can also find this shop in Brno and Ostrava.

If you enjoy an old-fashioned market you can visit the Farmers Market Heřmaňák in Holešovice — just outside the city centre. This is a great place to bring the whole family, and you can find everything from cheese to baked goods here. The same organisation holds farmers markets by the Vltava river on Rašínova nábřeží…

If you like design you can pay a visit to the Artel shop. Here you can find unique items ranging from crystals and jewellery to toys and decorations. The Artel crystal is famous throughout the whole world.

Chocolate with nuts, fruit or coffee as well as Czech nougat or pralines are all on offer at this chain's several locations. Whatever you prefer, it's all produced at Prague Chocolate with dedication and passion; the products make for great edible gifts.
