10 Best Places to Go Shopping in Prague

Palladium is one of the largest shopping malls in central Prague. Established in 2007, it stands on the site of the former Josef military barracks on Republic Square. You can still see the 19^th-century building's original chateau-like facade and some medieval remains, which were unearthed during an archaeological excavation.

Over 150 shops and 23 restaurants occupy the 5-storey Palladium. Standouts include Samsung, Apple (iPhonePoint and iStyle), Vodafone, Adidas, H&M, Puma, Sephora, Estee Lauder, and more. The Albert Supermarket is on the ground floor of this shopping mall.  

Na Prikope is a leafy shopping street lined with fashion boutiques, shopping malls, and speciality stores. A deep and wide moat, which dated back to the 13^th century, once surrounded the walls of Old Town until it was filled in the late 1700s to become this street. Na Prikope, where a horse-drawn tram operated in the 1870s, now links Wenceslas Square and Republic Square.

Prominent shopping malls like Černá Růže, Myslbek and Slovanský Dům are found along Na Prikope. The street also has an outlet of Moser Crystal, one of Czechia’s most iconic decorative glasswork makers.

The Havelska Market is the place to go if you'd like to check out local produce in Prague. You can find it in the city centre, between Wenceslas Square and Old Town Square. The market got its name from Havelská Street, which hosts the 13^th-century Church of St. Gallen.

Vendors at the Havelska Market offer fresh flowers, fruits, vegetables, and souvenirs at rather reasonable prices. Best of all, you can haggle for lower rates, especially if you buy in bulk. Besides fresh produce, the market is great for purchasing sweets and pastries – try the oplatky (Czech spa wafers).

Parizska Street starts near Old Town Square and ends on the bank of Vltava River near Cechuv Bridge. Art nouveau and neo-Baroque structures welcome you at the start of this tree-lined boulevard.

You can find around 50 well-known brands, mostly from France and Italy, along Parizska Street. Standouts include Gucci, Louis Vuitton, Dior, Prada, and Giorgio Armani. Even if you don't want to buy anything, it's worth simply taking a stroll down this picturesque street, which is quite a sight at night when the shopfronts are illuminated in bright lights and colours.

Narodni is a bustling hub of mid-range shopping centres in Prague. The avenue was the site of the peaceful student protests in 1989, called the Velvet Revolution. The movement ended communist rule in the country, then known as Czechoslovakia.

Today, this is one of the best places to go shopping in Prague. Standouts include the 4-storey MY Národní and Quadrio Mall. You can also see a pretty art installation called Head of Franz Kafka, designed by David Černý. The kinetic sculpture is made up of 42 metal panels that rotate to form the face of the nation's celebrated writer.

The Naplavka Farmers Market gives you plenty of reasons to explore this side of the Vltava River waterfront. You can buy plenty of things from fruits, vegetables, and beverages to baked goods, dairy products, and cold cuts.

Besides stalls selling meals and light snacks, you can also check out vaults on the Rašínovo Nábřeží embankment. These have been renovated as cafés and bars serving a wide range of Czech cuisine and drinks throughout the day. Most have alfresco seating with expansive views of the Hradčany and Prague Castle districts.

Westfield Chodov is a contemporary shopping mall in the suburb of Chodov, about 9 km southeast of central Prague. The 4-storey complex has more than 200 shops and 40 restaurants, including its Grand Kitchen food court. Its massive size and modern design have drawn many international brands, including Zara Home, Oysho, Ansons, Falconeri, Fielmann, MOA and Aldo.

Westfield Chodov also houses Cinema City, a multi-sensory movie theatre with over 2,600 seats across 18 halls. It's one of the largest cinemas in Czechia.

The Nový Smíchov Shopping Centre has over 140 stores, nearly 80 of which are fashion brands. Guess, H&M, Levi's, Marella and Under Armour are just some of the many familiar names you can find at this 3-storey complex.

The child-friendly mall has several shops catering to children, including Destroy Kids, Gap Kids and Zara Kids. It also hosts a multiplex cinema and Tesco supermarket. International snack and meal options are available at onsite cafés, fast-food joints, and restaurants. You can enjoy spa and massage services at Form Factory Premium Fitness, located on the mall’s 2nd floor.

The Prague Market (Holešovice Market) is a local favourite when it comes to grocery shopping in the city centre. This lively marketplace hosts more than 75 vendors offering fresh produce and baked goods from across Czechia, plus neighbouring countries like Germany and Austria.

The market is busiest on Saturdays, when locals come to stock up on fresh produce, flowers, herbs, spices, and cheeses. You can also find several stalls specialising in antique furniture. The Prague Market is around 2.5 km north of the Prague Main Station.
