Na Prikope is a part pedestrian street lined with clothing stores, arcades and restaurants. If you want to do some shopping in some of the usual chain stores this is the place to come.
We took a little time to pop into a few shops....plenty to choose from, but had no success...
You may also find yourself wandering along Na Prikope if you are walking from Namesti Republiky to Wenceslas Square....perhaps you can do some window shopping on your way to discover more of Prague's attractions. Leave a Comment

 Our candle holders in the
making by rsilva
Around the Old Town square you can actually see the blacksmiths at work.
Most of the items that they have for sale are not, in my opinion, hand-made. No problem, they are still nice to look at.
However, should you want something really hand-made and special, just ask for it.
We had seen a very small candle holder at a blacksmith, but his prices were quite high, so we went looking for other places (TIP: if you have the time, just look around as the prices very greatly from one place to another, even in the same street).
We found this other blacksmith close to the old town square and we asked him if he could make those candle holders that we had seen before.
No problem! was the answer, so we waited for about 20 minutes to see him create them from a piece of metal. Now we are sure to have a unique, hand-made piece.
I will soon add a travelogue with some more pictures.
All kinds of objects in wrought iron, from candle holders, to coat-hangers.
Depending on the product, from 5 to 500 Eur... Leave a Comment Theme: Local Craft

 Chinese meal made to order,
really cheap but good! by palin2004
Note: the area can look a bit run-down (see picture) but truly it is not a problem, happy shopping (cash only)
There are stalls selling watches, clothing, shoes and boots, handbags, rather doggy knives and swords, perfume, jewellery ect, you will not have too much difficulty finding what you want.
And if you start to feel hungry there are several sit-in stalls making the most wonderful Chinese take-away foods at incredibly low prices (65 CZK).
It is a MUST that you barter the price, take for instance a watch, the starting price will be about 950 CZK, just laugh and walk away, the stall holder will bring out a calculator and start to drop the price down, keep saying no until you are offered the calculator, you then offer 400 CZK, keep at it and you will get that price.
Or if you want to buy more than one item at a stall bargain hard for a good price based on the fact that you are buying more than one.
Have fun! Leave a Comment Theme: OtherDirections: Metro to Vltavska, left at the station exit, you will pass by a small Chinese stall, continue till you get to the traffic lights, cross over bear left and go straight on till you reach a McDonald's, just pass this is the market, you can't miss it.

 Art Deco Galerie by sue_stone
The overcrowded displays just add to the appeal of this shop where you will want to spend more time browsing than your husband/partner/friend will have the patience for.
I saw a fabulous handbag and some interesting jewellery….but Alex bustled me out before I had time to buy anything! Leave a Comment Theme: OtherAddress: Michalská 21, Praha 1Phone: 224 22 30 76Directions: Nearest metro: Mustek

 Shopping at Tesco by TravelChick67
They have everything you can imagine and it won't break the bank to bring a little goodie home.
They also have a nice little food area where you can buy cheeses, nuts, fruit, etc. and make yourself a picnic.
We were there over New Years Eve and bought some very cheap champagne flutes (like $2 ea or something like that) to drink our champagne from and then toss onto the ground in the square (something that everyone does) It was great fun.
Housewares, tea cups, vases, crystal, clothes, etc. You name it and you can buy it!
Very inexpensive. Leave a Comment Theme: Department StoreAddress: Národní tøída 26, Prague 1Directions: Right near the Narodni Trida metro stop

As a tip, I always travel with bubble wrap to safely bring my purchases back home with me.
You can buy small pieces for as little as $5 per item. Or you can pay up into the hundreds. Bargain with them! Leave a Comment Theme: Other

Down an alley in the Prague Castle and Hradcany area, this shop was a treasure. There were marionettes all over Prague, but this shop, although it had fewer to choose from, had some of the nicest ones we saw. I purchased a non-Disney Pinocchio marionette, absolutely lovely, for about $25 U.S. The shop also had lots of nice local artwork and crafts.
Look for well-made marionettes, ceramics (keramika), fine art.
High-end marionettes were about $25 and up. Leave a Comment Theme: Local CraftAddress: Trziste 22, 118 00 Praha 1, Nerudova 13Phone: 420 257 535 261Directions: Castle district.
