Teg

This boutique showcases their quarterly collections, which feature a sharp, imaginative look that adds zest and sophistication to everyday, wearable clothes.

Tesco
Right above the metro and beside one of the city's busiest tram stops, this five-storey monolith is no mere retail outlet. Oh, no. It's a cultural phenomenon, too, as all Prague expat life seems to sashay down its aisles at some point. Indeed, they all seem to be milling around the basement supermarket - together - whenever you have to dash for a few late-night supplies and find yourself behind a lengthy queue.

Toalette
Urban 20-somethings in particular will be delighted by these carefully selected secondhand clothes and accessories, which still have plenty of fashionable mileage in them. Some new designs are found on the dressmakers' dummies on the shopfloor.

U České Orlice

Vetešnictvi
This is an Aladdin's cave of second-hand goods, bric-a-brac and junk with, in all likelihood, some genuine antiques for those who know what they're doing. There's affordable stuff for everyone, from communist-era lapel pins, medals, postcards, old beer mugs and toys to crystal, shot glasses, porcelain, china, pipes and spa cups, all presided over by a bust of Lenin.

Zerba
This place is a paradise for model railway enthusiasts of all ages, with a huge range of track and rolling stock in N- and OO-gauge, as well as a good selection of Scalextric racing sets and Matchbox model cars.
