Souvenir Shopping in Prague
Shopping is a must-do activity when you are visiting a city like Prague for the first time. When you shop for souvenirs for your near and dear ones, it becomes even more interesting.
We suggest a few things you must buy as souvenirs.
Garnet
The therapeutic garnet is the most sought after in Prague, all thanks to its blazing red colour, but tourists are often conned into buying fake ones. Make sure you ask for an authenticity certificate with your garnet.
Ruckl Crystal
What can be more exotic than a beautiful crystal glass that is indigenous to Czech! The Ruckl crystals are the finest glassware created by laborious techniques including hand painting and sandblasting.
Beer
