U Luzickeho Seminare, a winding street in the Little Quarter, is lined with one-of-a-kind shops, perfect for picking out a couple of unique souvenirs. Browse the lovely crystal glass collection at Artel (No.7) or the jewellery and colourful handcrafts at Silver & Art (No.42).

Golden Lane Just steps away from the iconic Prague Castle, the Golden Lane's colourful, 16th-century cottages are also a great place to browse for quirky souvenirs (Zlata ulicka).

For head-turning art and one-of-a-kind souvenirs, head to Moser on the Old Town Square, which has been specialising in traditional Bohemian glass for over 150 years (603/15 Staromestske Namesti, moser-glass.com).

It only takes a few days in sunny Prague to develop a lifelong affection for the wonder that is Czech beer. Swing by Galerie Piva and grab a few bottles of specialty brew to take home for your friends. It certainly beats a plastic souvenir (15 Lazenska, tel: 257 532 687).
