Shopping

During your visit to the Czech Republic, you can purchase wonderful presents for yourself as well as all those close to you. Goods in Czech shops are of a European standard, and prices will be light on the wallet as they are lower than elsewhere in Europe.

Tips for a gift
• Traditional wooden toys for children
• Jewellery from Bohemian garnets or moldavite or natural cosmetics for women
• Czech beer or wine is a universally appreciated gift
• Cut crystal vases, porcelain or the world-famed Czech glass costume jewellery
• Becherovka herbal liqueur from Karlovy Vary,
• The highly alcoholic spirit absinth, banned in many other European countries

Shopping in Prague
• Shopping avenues such as Na Příkopě and Pařížská offer boutiques stocking international brands
• Modern shopping centres can be found both within the city (Flora, Anděl), as well as its outer suburbs (Zličín, Černý Most, Chodov, Letňany). All of these are easily reached by metro.
