Hi -
any suggestions for where to shop for antiques in Prague? are there any (wasn't sure if any exist after years of communist rule...)?
thanks

I will have a word with friends in Prague to see if they can suggest anywhere in particular for furniture.
I remember when i first visited the CR well over 20 years ago ,used to be loads of stalls in the streets selling stuff and i got an army officers watch,real ugly thing but facinationg and very cheap, lost it withing a couple of hours, think i left it on a table in a cafe.
Loads of shops selling fake military stuff these days but there is one good shop near the bottom of Wenseslas square that does real ex military stuff.
