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?
