Prague Souvenir Stores
If you walk through the Prague city center, you get the impression that the only shops you can visit are souvenirs. They are ubiquitous, like banks on Manhattan. Most of them - if not all of them - belong to Russians. Strange, though? The Russians are selling Czech souvenirs to foreign tourists in Prague. Well, this is simply the situation. Another point you would make is that most of the shops offer the same products. There are some specialty stores who focus on marionettes or ceramic miniatures but vast majority of them are just one like the another.
Yet there is one exception - the Erpet crystal glass shop located on the corner of Melantrichova street and the Old Town Square. This shop has been around for decades and has kept it's high niveau and distinction. This is why it is always packed with groups of Japanese who are buying Czech crystal glass products in wagons.
If you want to find some unique Prague souvenir store which has something unusual on offer, you need to walk to the Nerudova Street in the Lesser Town below Prague Castle and try to turn into side streets around. There you might find things that are not so unified.
