Shopping in Prague is entertainment in the entire sense of the word. Those who are familiar with local shops know that it is necessary to set aside money and allocate time for this business. Even in the souvenir kiosk, the counters look so fabulous that you won’t get off with a magnet on duty. And how can you not at least touch and take a picture of everyone’s favourite cartoon mole?
The best souvenir and tourist brand of the Czech Republic that you can bring from Prague is pomegranate. Every jewellery showcase in the city is decorated with products with this stone. It cannot be called cheap, so we do not recommend buying grenades in the central part of the city. And a trip to the Lapiz Diamond factory, the largest in the Czech Republic, will make “precious” shopping also budget-friendly. You can also buy world-famous Bohemian glass there.
Most tourists who go to Prague calculate in advance how many bottles of beer they will be able to grab when they return home. There is no need to explain why. It is difficult to name the best, but we know the unsurpassed – Pardubice porter. Its sweet, bitter caramel taste distinguishes this beer from hundreds of other types. Among other alcoholic drinks, Becherovka and Slivovitz are popular.
In addition, Czechs drink beer not only inside. Cosmetics made on this basis are popular among tourists: shampoos, creams, masks, etc.
Prague is a paradise for hunters of European brands. The prices here are low, and during sales you can find discounts of up to 70-80%.
The first two weeks of January are considered the most profitable in terms of shopping.
Sales mainly occur in April, July, and October, the largest one starts at the end of December. On the eve of Christmas, endless shopping arcades with souvenirs unfold in the city squares.
