    Once upon a time there was a clever Austrian, who had the brilliant idea to build a duty-free-shopping-centre inside the wide stripe of land between Austria and Czechia, that was once used for the watchtowers and the death-zone at the communiste border ....

    ...all of a sudden nowbody knew what to do with the area, except Mr. Seunig, a clever young man from Austria who became Multimillionaire within a few years...

    And you may easily see he is a big fan of phantasy, dragons, gargoyles, mystery things etc.

    All restaurants are OPEN 24 hours a day !!
    I made a seperate page about this place :
    Excaliburcity by Globetrott

    ONLY 25 CIGARETTES per person are allowed to be bought there and taken into Austria !!!!
    for spirits, wine and champagne there are almost NO restrictions.
    all other goods are not restricted at all !!

    Gasoline is cheaper than in Austria, but still a bit more expensive than in Znojmo or Brno !!

    Times of DUTY-FREE are over due to the EU-regulations, BUT you still may buy spirits in 1 litre bottles for the same price or maybe a bit less than you pay for 0,7 litres in Austria and the other old EU-countries.

    Pure genuine crystals and glasses are very popular in the Czech Republic. They are also of the highest quality too. Take the opportunity to purchase some of them if you visit the Czech Republic on your vacation! One of the few locations in the Czech Republic where you can purchase genuine crystals and glasses at reasonable prices is the streets outside Karlstejn Castle. We purchased several crystals and presented them as gifts to friends and relatives at home.

    Any jewelry shop: Bohemian garnets
  • Tip Rating:
  • There are plenty of big, medium and small shops in Prague where U can buy the beautiful garnets from famous Czech region Bohemia.

    They are presented in shop windows and U can observe them from the streets. Their beauty is stunning.
    Men may laugh (smiling) but to my mind, there is no better memory for a woman than some jewelry.
    At least for me it is better than any food, drink, cloth or anything else, like a souvenir. It is preious and it is forever with us.

    The prices vary from reasonable (maybe even cheap for Western Europeans) to high (but they are worthwile buying).
    My set silver of a small ring and ear-rings covered with gold and with garnets of course, cost me about 70USD. I'm glad I have it, it brings me back nice memories.

    Various: Now you swing from the chandalier !
  • Tip Rating:
  • Bohemian glass is available all over the country at broadly similar prices.

    We found the glassware to be attractive, but not especially different to the thousands of other producers all over the world.

    We did however fall for the Chandaliers, which come in both traditional and more modern designs.

    At around 300 Euros, a larger one represented extremely good value, and the thing packed down into quite a small space - the way it all fitted together with everything safe certainly put IKEA to shame !

    We bought ours in Karlovy Vary. You can also visit the factories there, which may work out a little cheaper.

    The shops selling them in Prague were marginally more expensive : probably due to more tourist about and higher costs.

    Marionnette
    Prague is famous for it's Marionnettes. Shops line the allies with all sorts of Marionnettes for sale. If there is one souvinier to bring back from Prague it would be a Marionnette.

    Bargain, bargain, bargain!
    Russian dolls, the infamous Prague sweatshirt that everyone else you know owns, cheap Bohemian crystal, and lace are all popular tourist favorites well worth their weight in Kroner.

    Bargain anywhere you go. This is not necessary from a financial standpoint--the exchange rate allows travelers to buy things for literally pennies. However, bargaining is fun and also gets you the rate you SHOULD be paying--so join in the fun! Chances are if youre in a tourist shop and they quote you a price, they'll lower it if you just keep standing there.
