Bila Labut Department Store at Wenceslas Square

Bila Labut Department Stores

Bila Labut (which means White Swan in Czech) is a long-established Czech (formerly Czechoslovakian) brand of department stores. You will find several Bila Labut stores in Prague city centre. They have been around for decades and therefore their looks can’t compete with the giant flashy shopping centres built by developers in the recent years. Nevertheless, if you want to experience shopping with the traditional Czech (or Czechoslovak) feel, visit Bila Labut. There is also a McDonald’s restaurant at the ground floor (that of course is not that traditional Czech).
