V.A.T. Know-How

When making a purchase, ask for a V.A.T. refund form, and find out whether the merchant gives refunds (not all stores are required to do so). Have the form stamped by customs officials when you leave the country and drop it off at the refund-service counter to receive 21% back on all your purchases (10% back on books or food from grocery stores). Consult the Travel Smart chapter at the back of the book for more information.

Major Shopping Areas

Pařížská ulice.

Feeling swanky? Get yourself down to tree-lined Pařížská ulice, which hosts all the big international designers from Dior to Prada. Even the air smells expensive here. | Pařížská ulice, Staré Město.

Dlouhá.

One of the coolest streets in Prague, Dlouhá extends off Old Town Square but is worlds away from the tourist hordes. Half the delight is the architecture, and the other half is finding hip, seemingly hidden boutiques that specialize in Czech fashion and design. | Dlouhá, Staré Město.

Na Příkopě.

In the shadow of Prašné brány, Na Příkopě feels like any major shopping street you’d find in any European capital, as it is overflowing with popular chains like Zara and H&M. Be warned: it can be crowded. | Na Příkopě, Nové Město.

Václavské náměstí.

This historic boulevard is now full of international chains and hawkers. Extending from the National Museum to Na Příkopě, Václavské náměstí has an energy level on a par with Times Square. Prague’s megabookstore and two British department stores are all crammed in. | Václavské náměstí, Nové Město.
