Lined with stately townhouses, the street’s architecture is as much of an attraction as its swanky stores, with examples of neo-baroque neo-renaissance, and secession styles. Buildings feature richly decorated balconies, elegant moldings, busts, statues, turrets, and towers. In addition to its high concentration of luxury clothing boutiques, Paris Street is also home to antique stores, watch- and jewelry-makers, such as Rolex and Cartier. Those with slightly less cash to splash with also find a few outposts of mid-range high street stores, such as COS.
Paris Street is located in Prague’s Old Town of Prague, connecting Old Town Square with Čechův Bridge, and steps from the Jewish Quarter. The nearest Metro station is Staromestska, and several trams and buses run nearby as well. The street is within easy walking distance of several major hotels.
Individual stores keep their own opening hours but are generally open from morning through early evening. Saturdays are typically the busiest time and, though it can get crowded, this is a great time to visit for people watching.
Paris Street is home to some of the best cafes and restaurants in Prague. Top picks for fine dining included the Belgian restaurant Les Moules and Zlatá Praha, whose rooftop space offers spectacular views over the city by day and a more intimate candlelit atmosphere after sunset. Sunday Brunch on the terrace of Zlatá Praha is another popular choice.
