Bratislava Shopping

To be honest, there are definitely better places in the world then Bratislava, as far as the shopping is concerned. Numerous shops and malls are spread all over the city, but not all the popular outlet stores have arrived to Bratislava yet, and the prices are not that low as you could expect from the Eastern Europe country. But in the narrow streets of the Old Town, there are many small Antiques and sometimes you can find a real bargain there. If you like charming things from the past do not miss the shops on Kozia and Michalska street.

The best shop for original Slovak souvenirs - folk handicrafts is ULUV (Centre for Folk Art Crafts) with its Court of Crafts on Obchodna 64, and shops on Namestie SNP 12 and Michalska 4, offering folk art costumes, embroideries, woolen and flax fabrics, blue-prints, glass paintings, wooden toys, etc. Also FOLK FOLK shops on Obchodna 10 and Rybarska brana 2 have a nice selection of traditional Slovak “stuff”.

Some nice pieces of work are offered on the Market on Hlavne namestie (the Main Square).

INTERPRESS SLOVAKIA is a network of the best kiosks in the city, offering many international newspapers and magazines, Bratislava postcards and maps. Their 3 shops are located on Panska 31, Sedlarska 2 and in the Radisson SAS Hotel on Hviezdoslavovo namestie 3.

TESCO department store on Kamenne namestie, is the most convenient for grocery shopping in the city centre.
