Charles University Gift Shop

Looking for cool souvenirs to take back for the kids? Problem solved: a Charles University pullover. If it’s chilly out, you’ll want one for yourself as well.
Czech Folk Crafts (Manufaktura)

Kids these days might not appreciate the handmade wooden toys or corn-husk dolls, but when was the last time you bought yourself a gift?
Dorotheum

Dorotheum offices throughout the world trace their roots back to the Vienna pawn-broking office, established by Emperor Josef I in 1707. A member of the Association of International Auctioneers, Dorotheum holds large auctions several times a year and maintains a large sales gallery of silverware, fine china, jewellery, art and other collectors’ items.
Dr Stuart’s Botanicus

Here you’ll find oils and salts for that hot bath your travel-weary feet crave, as well as perfumes, candles, soaps and every natural health and beauty product you can imagine. Branches are scattered around town but the main one is off the Old Town Square.
Dr Stuart’s Botanicus

The store’s all-natural health and beauty products are produced at a “historic village” east of Prague; enquire about tours. Herbs, oils and other seasonings, too.
Eduard Čapek

Prague’s favourite junk shop. As the rest of the Old Town goes up-market, this little hole in the wall keeps up a lively trade in trinkets and gossip. Very little gets sold and it’s hard to understand how the shop stays in business, but if your decorating calls for rust and dust, this is your supplier.
Erpet Bohemia Crystal

A one-stop shop for glass and jewellery. Erpet sells Bohemian lead crystal, garnet jewellery, enamel glass and chandeliers, as well as fine goods from the Moser, Goebel and Swarovski manufacturers. Shoppers can ponder the purchases they’re about to make over coffee in the shop’s comfortable lounge area.
Faux Pas

Original fashions and club gear are the order of the day here. The shop frequently throws fashion shows at clubs around town.
Franz Kafka Bookshop

Here you can find a wide range of Czech literature in translation, coffee-table books and catalogues from recent exhibitions next door at the Municipal Gallery, plus classical music CDs.
Galerie Boema

The gifts and reproductions here run from merely eccentric to downright creepy. Take home a Torah pointer or scale replicas of gargoyles from St Vitus’s Cathedral.
