If you’re in the market for fine jewelry, gastronomy equipment, luxury cars or redecorating ideas, international trade fairs might be just the places to start your browsing.

Prague’s largest trade fair organizers — ABF, Terinvest and AC Expo — mainly host their events at Letňany’s Trade Fair Palace and the exhibition center in Holešovice. These exhibition grounds cater to the ever-increasing number of visitors and provide an upscale setting for the high-quality products on display.
There are still plenty of trade shows left to see this year. Some of the highlights will display the ins and outs of the latest information and communication technologies, antiques, interior design and erotic culture. Other shows will feature products for wellness and regenerative practices as well the latest in the hospitality and gastronomy sectors.
Below is a glimpse at what you can expect to see at this fall’s trade exhibitions.
