Shops in Prague
Tourists do shopping in the streets and lanes in the Old Town and the wide avenues of the New Town in Prague, locals go to the shopping malls in the suburbs. Wherever you go, streets in Prague are crammed with designer outlets, international chain stores, delightful shops and smart cafés. Souvenir shops are ubiquitous and brim with Bohemian crystal, wooden puppets and garnet-studded jewelry.
The Zizkov and Holesovice districts abound in second-hand shops selling anything from retro watches to silver cutlery and from lingerie to vintage fashion. A must-visit for all book lovers is Book Palace Luxor where browsing may take up more time than you have. The Moser shop not only sells crystal glasses and porcelain dinner sets, the interior is more like a museum than a shop. If you are after natural products, head for Botanicus. All their beauty products are made in the small village of Ostra, east of Prague. While shopping, your magic word is ‘sleva’ which means discount.
