Shopping in Prague can be frustrating or rewarding, depending on the approach taken. Western chains and large stores around Václavské námìstí do not offer bargains and shoppers should seek out the smaller shops to browse and patronize the cafés when it all becomes too much.

Czech crystal and glassware are superb and often extremely good value. There are enough shops for one to spend an entire day on this alone. Cheap Czech crystal jewellery is found throughout the city.

Jan Hunek Starozitnosti, Paøí?ská 1, sells beautiful Czech glass from the 18th century to 1930s Art Deco. Alma, Vamentinská 7, specializes in porcelain, lace and folk costumes. Away from the centre, Bazaars ? glorified junk shops ? occasionally turn up real finds.
