Things to do in Prague, Bohemia: The Best Gift & Specialty Shops

December 9, 2021 Misti Hsu

The bohemian allure and fairytale features of Prague make it a perfect destination for beach-weary vacationers who want to immerse themselves in culture. You could devote an entire day to exploring Prazsky hrad (Prague Castle), then refueling over a hearty dinner at a classic Czech tavern. Spend some time wandering the Old Town Square before heading over to gape at The Old Town Hall and Astronomical Clock. Prague’s best bars are found in cellars, where historic pubs set the scene for a night of traditional tippling.

Rocking Horse Toy Shop

Since 1999, this tiny boutique in the upper castle area has offered a large, hand-picked assortment of genuine Czech and European toys and gifts, including wooden toys, wind-up toys, art supplies, model cars, puppets and marionettes. It`s a little hard to find, tucked under an arcade near the Loreto Square, so look for the wooden rocking horse above the door. Owner Ivan Karhan will be happy to help you select the perfect memento or gift for a loved one. English spoken.

It's a rarity to find a Toy Shop like this nowadays. With everything going electronic its such a pleasure to see Toys made this way, Handcrafted Dolls, Puppets, Vehicles and more. Lots of Puzzles and Games, so much fun to browse and buy. They make excellent gifts! I'll give them to friends and the first thing out of their mouths is always, "Where did you find this?" Avoid the touristy gift shops when buying for friends and get them something with a little heart and soul. It goes over well and brings back memories.

Prague Chocolate Steiner & Kovarik

Czech family company which uses maximum of local ingredients and cooperates with Czech partners. Prazska cokolada (Prague Chocolate) is the biggest manufacturer and seller of fine chocolate products with Czech (mostly Prague) motives.

Reviewed By Momo800 - Denver, United States

Award winning chocolate that makes for great gifts. Just don't forget to bring yourself some home too! Their drinking chocolate is very rich and not what some are familiar with when they get a hot chocolate. It is however very tasty and worth ordering, although maybe don't go bigger than a small unless you're sharing.

Fotograf na plech

I am offering a unique first-hand experience of a mesmerising 170-years-old photographic technique called wet plate collodion. No digital camera hidden inside a decrepit bellows - this is the real deal, 100% handmade original photographs on tin plates that will last for many generations (and perhaps confuse a future archeologist or two). By booking with me you will not only get an everlasting memory of you time spent in Prague, but also experience the magic of 19th century photography in real life and gain an understanding of how difficult yet rewarding photography was back then. I am an experienced portrait and documentary photographer with a small studio at Malá Strana, the Lesser Side, in the very heart of old Prague. I have had the pleasure of working with hundreds of clients from all over the world. My works was awarded with several prizes including two 1st place awards at Czech Press Photo (Portrait, Arts).

Saki (as old friends call him) has not changed since we met on highschool 25 years ago. Buddy with specific skills, interests and opinions able to be absolutely focused on what is he doing. It was really pleasure spent some time in Saki’s atelier with my kids and got amazingly looking photo produced by photographic process from the 1850s called wet plate collodion. If you are still looking for any xmas presents, stop doing that and visit studio located in the historic centre of Prague (Malá Strana). You will take away an unforgettable experience and stunning metal sheet. Lukas

Original and special experience. So welcoming, very informative, sharing stories of scents and finding something that was special. I bought this experience as a gift and Olga was mindful of this from introductions, all the way though to payment. We each made a perfume based on our preferences, and was taken through everything step by step. The shop and workshop is beautiful, calming and inspiring. They use local glassware, and Olga is loyal to the partnerships that she has made in her learning journey, using specially selected scents and materials. Olga and Boris were like old friends. Thankyou very much. I wholeheartedly recommend this as something to do in Prague, and a brilliant keepsake of your time and memories there.
