An Art Nouveau arcade with a cinema, cafés and David Černý’s upside-down horse sculpture.

Shopping centres

A big, practical mall at Anděl with supermarkets and family shops.

Stores worth a detour

Bohemian crystal from the Karlovy Vary glassworks, in a flagship store on Na Příkopě.

Hand-engraved Bohemian glass with a contemporary eye; good, well-packed gifts.

Czech cosmetics, wooden toys and Christmas decorations, with branches across the old town.

Bohemian garnet jewellery from the cooperative in Turnov; ask for the certificate of origin.

Modernista at the Black Madonna

The design shop on the ground floor of the House of the Black Madonna: a century of Czech design and replicas of Cubist ceramics from the UPM collection. Tue 10:00–20:00, Wed–Sun 10:00–18:00; closed Mondays.

Ask who made a piece and where. Check materials and shipping. Bargain politely only where invited; respect fixed prices in boutiques and artisan shops. Large shops close at noon on 24 December and stay shut on 25 December; markets keep running.
