Sapa, officially TTTM Sapa (Vietnamese: Trung Tâm Thương Mại Sapa), sometimes called Prague's Little Hanoi, or simply Prague's Hanoi, is the largest Vietnamese enclave in the Czech Republic, located in Libuš and Kunratice districts. It was created in the area of a former poultry farm around 2000 and is often referred to as a "city within a city" by the media. After Ukrainians and Slovaks, the Vietnamese are the largest ethnic minority in the country, with Sapa being the so-called Czech "Vietnamese capital". Sapa offers many restaurants, food stands, specialized grocery stores, a warehouse club called Tamda Foods, warehouses, tutoring and childcare services, places for meetings, social events, and a Buddhist temple. The total area of Sapa is 35 hectares (86 acres), and around seven thousand people work there.
In 2025, Vietnamese prime minister Phạm Minh Chính visited Sapa as part of his visit to Czechia.
