Where to bargain shop in Prague- Markets

During my stay in Prague we visited many antique shops, thrift shops, flea markets, bazars, second hand shops and collectors markets. Here is a list of a few worth visiting.

1. Flea market Kolbenka [website]

  - Open EVERY Saturday and Sunday from 7am till 2pm. 

  - Metro stop Kolbenova, the market is opposite the metro entrance. 

  - entrance fee is 20CZK or if you go by car you pay 50 CZK/ per car and up to 5 people

This market is massive and you can find almost everything - from car parts, clothes, food to collectables, antique, retro, vintage. Prices wary- some stalls are cheap as chips, some are 10x more expensive (for example I bought about 500 old matches stamps for 100CZK (£2.50, USD5) and other seller wanted 100CZK for just 10 stamps).  

The market is an open space and the ground is untreated. When it's wet and rainy you will get very muddy, when it's dry, your shoes will be dusty (I learned the hard way, hence the obvious mention :) ). Also watch your belongings as there are many pickpockets. 

This seller is regular in Kolbenka as well in Bustehrad. He has AMAZING vintage stuff but he is SO overpriced!

2. Collectors market Buštěhrad [website]

  - Runs the whole year, every other Friday (see their web for dates) from 6am till noon (get there           early!!! Some sellers start to pack up at 10!)

  - 20min drive out of Prague but it's well worth it! Nearby is Lidice memorial. There is also a bus from Zlicin

  - Entrance fee is 70 CZK/pp

Buštěhrad market was firstly opened in 1979 and it's running since. This is a proper collectors market, it's a bit more pricey than Kolbenka but most of the dealers know what they are talking about and you still can find great deals and bargains. 

Bargain from Bustehrad at 900CZK

3. Flea Market in Central Prague [website]
  - Runs from March till September, check their facebook page for dates and places
  - 9am-4pm
  - entrance free

This market runs at 2 places- every last Saturday is on Tylovo namesti (nearest metro I.P.Pavlova) and the remaining Saturdays on (A)void boat on Vltava river (nearest tram Výtoň).
Here you will find the usual brick&barck, collectables, vintage clothes and accesorries and handmade products.

H&M home

I just discovered H&M home. Yes. Just now! I've heard about it before but didn't pay much attention to it as I imagined a few cushions and candles in their store. But what a lovely surprise! Beautiful items, nicely styled, clean & fresh feel. And the prices are great as well. I'm totally in love with their linen and copper collection. Glad the nearest H&M home store is 30 miles away. Super glad they have an online shop! :)

(Pssst: If you sign to their newsletter you'll receive 25% of any item of your choice.)
