  • Hipsters can pick up Prague’s best club and retro fashions here, as well as expert clubbing advice from the friendly proprietress Maya Kvátný.

  • Wine investors can sample the National Wine Bank’s offerings before deciding whether to take a bottle home or leave it in a rented space in the cellar. Enquire about the next dégustation party.

  • One of the scores of marionettes on sale here would make a great souvenir, since Prague is an international centre for marionette theatre. The helpful staff can teach you basic techniques of string-pulling.

  • Take home your night at the opera. Philharmonia stocks the entire Czech musical canon, with recordings of contemporary Czech classical artists and the repertoires of the State Opera.

  • In addition to booking tours of Jewish sites in Prague and around Bohemia, Precious Legacy sells a tasteful range of prayer shawls, lamps, glass and ... golems, golems, golems.

  • The best part of having a headache in Prague is buying your pain relievers in centuries-old pharmacies like this one. Closed at weekends.

  • Exquisite torah pointers, yarmulkas (skull caps) and other unique gifts, such as a watch in the style of the clock on the Jewish Town Hall (see Jewish Town Hall).

  • They say Prague’s first café was owned by a Turk; this isn’t it. Drop in anyway for a cup of proper Turkish coffee or other delights, then buy some coffee to take home.

  • If you can’t bring yourself to leave Prague, take it with you: this shop sells adorable ceramic miniatures of the surrounding houses and other monuments.

  • Perhaps only in Prague would you find a weird treasure trove such as this. Battle-axes, broadswords and maces, not to mention chastity belts and breastplates.
