Prager Straße, Shopping street in Dresden, Germany

Prager Straße is a pedestrian zone that runs from Dresden's main train station to the Altmarkt, lined with shops, boutiques, and international brand stores. The street provides a direct link between the transport hub and the historic city center.

The street was established in 1851 and marked a major expansion of Dresden's commercial infrastructure. From the start, it linked the new railway station with the old city core, becoming a key axis for urban growth.

The name honours Prague, the Czech capital. Since 1970 the street has hosted part of Dresden's international dixieland festival each May. A plaque on the street marks where the Gruppe der 20 was founded on 8 October 1989 during the protests against the communist regime.

The pedestrian zone is easy to reach on foot and well served by tram and bus lines running in all directions across the city. Several parking facilities are located nearby if arriving by car.

On 8 October 1989, during the Monday demonstrations against the East German regime, the so-called Group of Twenty was founded on Prager Straße; a plaque on the street still commemorates this. The street also hosts part of Dresden's international dixieland festival, held every May since 1970.
