There are several large shopping malls where you do some luxury clothes shopping in Prague, with the typical layout being a hypermarket with food on the ground floor and many other shops selling clothes, sports equipment, and electronics as well.

On top of this, many malls offer numerous fastfood restaurants, cafes, cinemas, gyms and solaria, all designed to keep people inside of them for as long as possible. Most of these large malls are located close to the city center, while younger shopping centers are usually located outside of the center, and sometimes truly on the outskirts of the city. Souvenir shops are mainly located in the city's historical center, mostly around the Old Town Square, Wenceslas Square and the Castle. Many of these shops can also be found in the picturesque alleys of the Lesser Quarter.

Among the Centre pieces of Freedom Week's displays are Prague artist David Cerny's "pink tank" which will be hosted on a platform in center of the Vltava River. This artwork is a memorial of freedom by Red Army and also represents the end of the Soviet occupation. It was created 20 years ago by a 23 years old art student.

The most important day in the Christian Orthodox calender is called Pashka in Russian, or Easter. Moscow travel on this holiday wall allow you to experience the Russian Easter celebration, which starts on Saturday night and continues into the wee hours of Sunday morning. Sometimes, the liturgy service will last for hours. In Moscow, the Cathedral of Christ the Savior is considered to be the main church of Russia.

This church has no pews, which means that the faithful can be standing for hours. Yet this prolonged standing pales in comparison to the 40 days of fasting prior to Pashka which many Russians still observe. During the Great Lenten fast leading up to the High Holy Days, no meat, meat products, milk, eggs, alcohol or oil can be consumed. In Moscow you will see restaurants advertise "fasting" dishes during this time, meaning no meat or animal products can be served.
