Czech Republic

Music shopping in Czech Republic

  1. A

    Capriccio

    Pick up the score for Mozart’s Don Giovanni or Dvořák’s New World Symphony at this eclectic sheet-music shop, and hum away to yourself at the in-store café (or try it out on the in-store piano). Or you might enjoy some country music favourites – how about learning ‘Rhinestone Cowboy’ in Czech?

  2. B

    Bazar

    There’s a vast selection of secondhand CDs, LPs and videos to browse through here, representing a wide range of genres. Czech and Western pop jostle with jazz, blues, heavy metal, country and world music, though with most LPs costing around 300Kč to 450Kč this place is not exactly what you’d call a bargain basement.

    Bontonland

    Supposedly the biggest music megastore in the Czech Republic, with pretty much everything including Western chart music, classical, jazz, dance and heavy metal, as well as an extensive collection of Czech pop. It also sells Blu-ray discs and DVDs, iPods and accessories, and has a large PlayStation arena and internet cafe.

    Karel Vávra

    Handmade fiddles decorate the interior of this old-fashioned violin workshop where Karel and his assistants beaver away making and repairing these instruments in time-honoured fashion. Even if you are not in search of a custom-made violin, it’s worth a look just for the time-warp atmosphere.

  5. E

    Maximum Underground

    On the 1st floor in an arcade just off Jílská, this place is stocked with CDs and LPs of indie, punk, hip hop, techno and other genres. It also has a selection of new and second-hand street and club wear for those seeking that Central European grunge look.
