Obchod pod lampou
One of the scores of
marionettes on sale here would
make a great souvenir, since

for marionette theatre. The
helpful staff can teach you basic
techniques of string-pulling.

Turkish Tea Room
They say Prague's first café
was owned by a Turk; this isn't
it. Drop in anyway for a cup of
proper Turkish coffee or other
delights, then buy some coffee
to take home.

Gallery Bambino di Praga
The souvenir shop across
the street from the Church of
Our Lady Victorious, named after
the miracle child
(see p83)
,
raised many eyebrows when
they claimed to have coined the
word “Pokémon”- an acronym,
they say, for their slogan “Power
of the Bambino Keep up the
Monde .

Galerie Boema
The gifts and reproductions
here run from merely eccentric
to downright creepy. Take home
a Torah pointer or scale replicas
of gargoyles from St Vitus's
Cathedral.

American Heating
Around the corner from the
US Embassy is a shop
specializing in restoration and
sales of historical stoves. Great
news if you want to export Malá
Strana's coal-scented
atmosphere home with you.

Candles Gallery
Carry home a candle large
enough to need its own seat on
the plane, or buy one of their
much smaller, natural beeswax
creations.
