Shopping

Shopping in Prague is good, many hypermarkets and shopping malls have started to develop, with a wide selection of products. The growing competition has led to better prices for customers, making shopping in Prague a must!

The main shopping area in Prague extends from Wenceslas Square, past Na Prikope and into Republic Square; Marks & Spencer, Debenhams and H&M are all located here. The Parizska vicinity has some international boutiques, while Mala Strana and the Old Town Square are home to small shops and art galleries. The Old Town Square also has a permanent market selling arts, crafts and souvenirs.

Local products include crystal ware and accessories, puppets, hand painted eggs, wooden toys, folk art and memorabilia from the Communist era (army surplus hats, knives and badges). Most shops are open from 9am to 7pm, with some large supermarkets staying open till 10pm or 24 hours a day. Most shops in the city centre and tourist destinations are open on weekends. Some sales tax refunds are available to non-EU citizens.
