I absolutely love, love, love this store. Yes, it’s in the middle of the tourist district and is a tad overpriced. But, it has some really awesome Czech made products. Everything in the store is made in the Czech Republic. I did most of my souvenir shopping here. The lower level has several different sections of items. The back section is full of cosmetic and bath products as well as jewelry. The middle section contains pottery and glassware. The front section seemed to contain more household decorating items. The decorated eggshells were beautiful. They even provide egg crates and wrap them nicely for safe transport back home. My favorite section of the store is the second level. This contains all of the hand crafted wooden toys. These are the perfect items to take home for any younger kids. They are well constructed and reasonably priced. Plus if you buy 3 or more wooden toys then you get 10% off all of them. This particular Manufaktura location contains a VAT refund section on the lower level. If you spend more than about $ 100, you can immediately get your VAT back(almost 20% of what you spend). Make sure to bring your passport and fill out the paperwork. They will process it for you and give you your cash immediately. Make sure to get the papers stamped at customs on the way out of the country and drop the papers in the nearby post office box. Fairly pain free!

Manufaktura bietet eine schöné Auswahl an tschechischem Kunsthandwerk und Kosmetik. Die Verkäufer sind sehr nett und man kann sich in aller Ruhe durch die verschiedenen Cremes, Seifen, Kerzen und Badesalze schnuppern. Hier findet man alles für das heimische Spa. Es ist sehr gut geeignet um das ein oder andere Geschenk für die Daheimgebliebenen zu kaufen.
