In this place you can ordeer lollipop with your name on it, you can buy sweets with the word "Praha" but first of all you can watch how they make candies! How cool is that?! :) Candies can be surprising gift from Prague. One jar of candies costs 130 CZK. Prices of lolipops starts from 250 CZK.
The Becherovka brand is probably the most famous original Czech drink and you can find this drink in almost any pub in the world that respect itself. This is a very special drink made from over 30 deferent herbs.
One drink that is not that famous but very good and I always buy and take with me home is this Fernet, especially the Fernet Citrus. A kind of a herb liquor with citrus fruits aroma, this is actually my favourite and this is suitable very much in the cold winter nights when you feel like something sweet and smooth drink. By it in supermarket in the city if you can, it will be cheaper then in the airport.
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...
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.
Letnany Shopping Complex is located at Veselska 663 on the otskirts of the city centre of Prague. It is the largest shopping centre in the Czech Republic with more than 200 shops and stores. It is also an entertainment centre for the whole family with cinemas, ice skating rink, aquacentre, children's playground and indoor tennis courts. A prominent Tesco Department Store is the shopping centre's main anchor tenant. For those who are hungry and thirsty after your whole day's shopping, Fontana Food Court is located in the shopping centre for you to chill out like we did as depicted on our photographs above!Wide range of items and consumer goods are available at the various shops in the shopping centres, many of them are branded stores. Goods such as leather products, clothings and textiles, shoes, watches, jewelleries, sports goods, cds and dvds, electrical goods, spectacles, health and...
You can purchase crystal almost anywhere, but you will pay different prices for it. Needless to say, you will pay the most in tourist area of the city. The one place is Karlstejn castle. There is a village at the foot of the castle and they sell crystal at much better prices. So if you plan on visiting the place, you can buy it there.
This is one of the better garnet shops in Prague. They offer quality garnets in a variety of pieces so you can select anything from a simple ring for less than $50US to a complex brooch or necklace for a couple of hundred dollars US. The staff are friendly and don't push you to buy something. Garnets are unique to the area and make a nice souvenir. (If you want something really special (and very expensive) some antique stores in the area around the square have antique garnet jewelry. They are breathtakingly beautiful but very expensive.) Rings are the least expensive items. Some brooches I saw were in excess of $200US.
This shop offers "seconds" (altho I couldn't find anything wrong with the items sold here) from Crystalex, makers of Bohemian glass. They offer bowls, vases, glasses, knickknacks...basically anything you could think of out of crystal. Every item sparkles like diamonds are dropped into the glass while still hot. Designs range from simple to complex but they're all beautiful. Prices are low because they are seconds. When you select an item they bring it out for you to inspect. If you find a flaw, you can ask for another piece in the same design, until you find one to your liking but I never saw any flaws. Bohemian crystal is unique to the region and is known world over for its quality. The showroom seems small but is packed with items - you should be able to find a souvenir that fits just about any budget.
Typical things that are being bought by (not only) foreigners in CZ:Jewellery from Bohemian garnetsCut crystal vasesPorcelainGlass costume jewelleryAlcohol - absinth, becherovka, beer or wineStone rose (rose from the paper is put into the water in spa hot spring for 14 days and the water covers it with special stone layer - very beautiful ones!)Spa waffles
