Prague Shopping Guide: From Trinkets to Treasures - Paperback

by Krysti Brice (Author)

If you like to collect special items on your travels, this book will steer you in the right direction on your visit to Prague. Whether you're looking for something truly special and unique, like a work of art or an antique, or just want an ordinary souvenir to bring home for a friend, you will find it in this book.

This unique guide covers the gamut of special items you'll find in the city, including: crystal, garnets, porcelain, wooden puppets, art, antiques, model trains, books, designer clothes, luxury brands and more! So whether you like to "shop 'til you drop" or just want to pick up the perfect souvenir without using up too much of your holiday time and energy, this book is the perfect resource. From the famous brands of exquisitely cut Czech crystal to the beautiful garnets the country is known for, you will find the best places and prices in this book - and you'll also learn which places to avoid, saving you time, money and disappointment, too.

Finally, as you can appreciate, the coronavirus pandemic changed everything. So I will have to do an update of this book once the dust settles. But for now, surprisingly, most of these establishments are still hanging on.
