When it opened in 1937, Bílá Labut was the height of modernity. Today it seems to be a bit old-fashioned, with a pretty grotty supermarket in the basement. The new branch on Václavské námestí is no better - nothing but ugly 80-s clothes and cheap jewellery.

Description coming soon

Located quite far out of town, takes about half an hour by metro, the last stop (Zlicin) on the yellow line. There is also a great big TESCO adjacent as well as electrical, computers, fashion and carpet shops. Everything you will need in one complex.

Ugly but well stocked. Lots of cosmetics, stationery, bed linen, fashion, sports gear, car accessories, furniture etyc. There’s a reservation service, bureau de change and shoe repairs in the basement, next to a glossy, modern supermarket. Good for gourmet chocolates and French wines - less so for fruits and vegetables.

The best thing here is basement grocery. You can stagger right into the metro with your purchases.

No surprise to British shoppers, offers good quality basics as well as a good range of fashionable clothes. Marks and Spencer is one of many other British shops in the complex which include, Next and the Body Shop and a comfortable trendy cafe.

Previously Tesco was owned by the American chain K-mart, which spent a lot of money revamping the store only to sell it on to Tesco in 1996. Currently Tesco is a good mix of Czech and Western products and a popular supermarket that stocks American peanut butter, decent baked beans and British biscuits.
