Marks & Spencer is an amazing place for clothes, food and coffee. A central square is a perfect choice for those who want to combine sightseeing, shopping and national cuisine in the city.

Parizska street is the most expensive and glamorous shopping street in Prague. This area has a special energy of past Bohemian charm with a blink of Paris or London. This street is also one of the sightseeing spots of the city. If you want to avoid high prices in Luis Vuitton, Prada and D&G, etc. there are a few shops where you can find something for yourself. For example, a shop called Cos. The Cos boutique has a huge collection for an affordable price. But this street is an inspiration for a rich and beautiful life. Let them help you make your dreams come true.

Prague is not the biggest fashion spot, it is rather modest place for fashion. Locals do not care so much about brands and run the sporty lifestyle instead. Even though, the sport fashion is large, Czechs are not so addicted to brands. On the other hand, tourists still come here regularly for sightseeing and shopping. Prague is much more affordable for shopping than other parts of Europe. You can also visit Prague for shopping during Summer Sale Time beginning on the 15th of June and ending on the 15th of August every year.
