Living in Prague has many perks. Great beer, magnificent architecture and the international vibe make it easy to lose one’s heart to the capital of the Czech Republic. Once one has found his living space and settled in, exploring the city from an insiders view becomes a priority. And while the exploring is a lot of fun and makes one love Prague for its little gems, it sometimes can be hard to find things that we know exactly where to find in our home country in the streets of Czech Republic’s capital.

One of the things I missed for a long time while living here, where second hand stores that not only provide a good selection but also have the right price. Trying to live a zero waste life, especially clothes and furnishing shopping in said places can hard. Even more so, since most second hand shops and goodwill stores concentrate on clothing and sometimes abandon the idea of offering anything else but that.

Have you not found quite a place like Goodwill back home yet? Could your second hand shopping tour use some extra stops? We set out and found the best places to meet a second hand shopper’s needs in Prague and put together the ultimate guide of second hand stores, bazaars and flea markets around the city! Ready to dive in?

2. To nejlepší z druhé ruky at Letna

The name of this one holds what it promises. Even though To nejlepši z druhé ruky is a rather small second hand shop, you will be pleasantly surprised with what you will find in it. The owner of the small business definitely has style and only sells what a customer might actually want. Starting at prices of CZK 49.00 for clothing items, TNZDR is a classic second hand shop as I know it from back home: Affordable, stylish and used clothing items for people who do not want to spend a fortune on Vintage clothes.

Often overlooked because it is located just off the bustling quarters of Prague 2’s district, Second Hand Market is the address for clothing items in the city.

6. Bazar Antik at Holesovice

Two entrances – the same wonderland: Bazar Antik

This wonderful place just off Délnicka tram stop holds many special treasures. As Holešovice is one of the best second hand areas in Prague, Bazar Antik is just one of 4 bazars on the Kommunardů street. The two lovely people that run the place choose wisely what they put up for sale and Bazar Antik is one of the few places where one gets the feeling of having access to gems that have been around for decades.

Beautiful handmade wooden boxes, silver coffee grinders, saddles and more can be spotted in this wonderful place. The Bazar consists of two buildings and you will need to walk around the house to get to the saddles and coffee grinders.

Coming from orderly chaos, here is a real one. Bazar a Zastavárna on Korunni truly has a lot to offer – if you are willing to dive into the massive amount of used stuff in this place. Though it might look frightening at first, we strongly recommend going down the stairs overlooking the plethora of gems that are waiting to be found. Whether you are looking for a bike, porcelain figures or lamps, this bazar will have it all!

12. Přestupní Stanice

This small second hand shop just off Olsanske Namesti is probably our favourite place to shop second hand at in Prague. The project behind the shop? Giving homeless people a place to work at, so they can find a way back into working life. The whole team is absolutely sweet and helpful and the atmosphere in the small shop is just great.
