Sapa

Sapa is a large commercial complex in southwestern Prague with hundreds of Vietnamese shops, restaurants, and wholesale businesses throughout its sprawling grounds. The site functions as a self-contained district with residential areas, temples, and schools integrated into its layout.

The site developed from a former poultry farm beginning around 2000 into an economic center. It has since become the largest Vietnamese commercial complex in the Czech Republic.

The market serves as a gathering place for the Vietnamese community, where traditional celebrations happen regularly and people conduct daily life in their language. You can experience how this community maintains its customs through commerce and social interaction.

The area is reachable by bus from central Prague and opens early in the morning daily. Weekday mornings are busiest, so visiting on weekends or later in the day offers a more relaxed experience.

The site includes its own schools and a Buddhist temple, making it far more than just a market. These facilities allow the community to pass on its traditions and language to the next generation.
