Top 10 Shops
-
1. Blue
A dazzlingly different kind of glass shop. Modern, fun designs in bowls and other knick-knacks, as well as T-shirts and other tourist fare.
-
2. Moser
Classic crystal and cut glass produced by this well known manufacturer. Even if you’re not interested in a large vase or a crystal hedgehog, it’s worth a look around.
-
3. 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.
-
4. 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.
-
5. U rytíře Kryštofa
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.
-
6. 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.
-
7. Antikvariát U Karlova mostu
This antiques shop specializes in books, manuscripts and prints that look like they could have been used by 17th-century astronomer Johannes Kepler when he lived next door. Collectors will want to have their credit cards handy.
-
8. 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?
-
9. Schoeblingova lékárna
The best part of having a headache in Prague is buying your pain relievers in centuries-old pharmacies like this one. Closed at weekends.
-
10. Candles Gallery
Buy a candle large enough to need its own seat on the plane or one of this store’s smaller, natural-beeswax creations.
