Welcome to this post on everything we know about music in Prague. Obviously it is a broad subject, but we will do our best to share as much as possible.
Jumping straight into the best musical instrument stores in Prague seems like a logical place to start. There will be separate lists for where to buy guitars in your area as well as the top drum shops in town.
Some may quibble about what store should go in which list, but we will try to differentiate them as well as we can. We aren’t sure if you are trying to buy keyboards, synthesizers, pedals, amps, or popular guitar brands like Gibson, Keisel, or Fender but a store on this page should have whatever you need.

Where to get a broken instrument repaired will follow that up. There are many repair companies that can tune a piano, repair a guitar, or work on all kinds of band instruments.
Once all the instrument talk is out of the way we will pivot to music classes and lessons for kids or adults before diving into local stores for music lovers with vintage CD’s and records. You can find numerous places to enjoy live entertainment at the best concert halls and music venues in your area.
Bars and restaurants with live music near you will get a shout out as well. A discussion about the Prague music calendar wouldn’t be complete without mentioning some great festivals either.
At the end we will share a map to help you find these stores or venues. All of our posts on instruments, lessons, live venues, and more around Europe are available there if you are interested.
