Malá Strana


This is an Aladdin’s cave of secondhand goods, bric-a-brac and junk with, in all likelihood, some genuine antiques for those who know what they’re looking for. There’s affordable stuff for all, from communist-era lapel pins, medals, postcards, old beer mugs and toys to crystal, shot glasses, porcelain, china, pipes and spa cups, all presided over by a bust of Lenin.
