In and around the Old Town Square (Staroměstské náměstí), small shops sell a range of tourist-oriented wares and souvenirs, including Bohemia Crystal and other glass products, and arts and crafts. There are also some international boutique stores.
Market stalls appear on the Old Town Square at various times in the year (at Christmas, Easter, and for Czech national festivals), selling hand-crafted and seasonal products.
Karlova street is busy day and night with visitors winding their way between the Old Town Square and Charles Bridge. Small shops line the route, selling crystal products, arts and crafts, tourist souvenirs and refreshments - most prominent of which are candy stores and trdelník (a sweet pastry) vendors. There are also several cafés to stop off at.
Charles Bridge (Karlův most) has open-air stalls selling paintings and other arts and crafts, which visitors can browse whilst enjoying the tunes of the street musicians.
In the Lesser Town (Malá Strana), shops centre around Mostecké street, the Lesser Town Square (Malostranské náměstí) and Nerudova street (which leads up to Prague Castle). This area has a pleasant, relaxed feel, where boutique stores sell glass, ceramics, paintings and other handicrafts, interspersed with cafés and restaurants. |
