The best bookshops Prague

Bookstore specialising in maps from all over the world, very practical if you are in Prague as part of a road trip to Central Europe. Even if your trip is limited to the Czech Republic, you will find here all the road maps you need to complete your trip. Most of the maps are in Czech, but some are dubbed or translated into English. You will also find many travel guides (in Czech and English) from major international publishing houses as well as smaller local editions.

On the shelves of this bookstall, especially used books. In particular, books on philosophy, fine arts and crafts. A small part of the shop is devoted to books in French, and the French who live long in Prague often come here to try to find interesting works. Behind the door next door, a showroom.

Inspired by the Parisian English-language bookshop Shakespeare & Company, Shakespeare & Sons offers one of the largest ranges of English-language books in the Czech Republic. The very pleasant store, a stone's throw from the Charles Bridge, is frequented by all Prague's English-speaking students, but also has a few books in French, Spanish and German. Ideal if you want to replenish your stock of books during your trip. You can order online or follow the news of the bookshop via the website.

It is an English-language bookstore frequented mainly by tourists and foreigners living in Prague. English to English books by authors and translated Czech classics. We also buy news newspapers and international magazines. If you are in Prague for a long time, check the notice board in front of the room. Proposals for small jobs, rentals for apartments and dates for upcoming cultural events. In any case, a good place to read your newspaper while sipping coffee.

Huge bookshop all in length and on several floors located on the prestigious Wenceslas Square. Many books in Czech and English, but also some tourist books in French and a fairly well-stocked pocket book section in French. The shelves are very well supplied whatever the subject of your research, and you will of course find books that are not available anywhere else. The difficulty will be to find a translation, as most of the thematic books are only available in Czech.

The shelves of this bookshop are overflowing with books covering all subjects relating to Prague and the Czech Republic. Tourism, culture, cuisine... Many of them are translated into several languages, including French, and there's also plenty of room for fine books, where you'll find plenty of beautiful editions to discover the whole of the Czech Republic through the pages. The bookshop also has some very fine sections of literature, but to take advantage of them you'll need to read and understand Czech. To do this, make a detour to the language learning section!
