I have a charm bracelet and have been collecting from my euro trips I try to select charms that represent the country like a tiny Faberge egg for Russia and lippinzaner for Vienna. I'm thinking a pepper for Budapest but can't think of anything for Prague/CR or Cracow/Poland.
Does anyone have any suggestions for those, or a better suggestion for Budapest??

Amber would be the choice for Poland, shops of which you'll see everywhere. I believe we saw charms there.

I have a pretty charm that looks like the city of Budapest from Budapest and a charm from Prague that looks like the Charles Bridge. I also have an amber one from Krakow.

In Prague you could look for a charm like the astronomical clock. Museum gifts hope often have wonderful, unique charm/jewelry selections.
In Krakow I'd look for amber or a trumpet that represents the legend of the famous Trumpeter of Krakow.
Have fun!

In Prague I purchased an Infant of Prague medallion at the Church. It was for a necklace but I put in on my bracelet. That was in 2002 so there wasn't much to choose from. In fact, that same year we were in Budapest and I couldn't find anything. I didn't have my bracelet with me and I couldn't even explain what I wanted. When we went back in 2012 I didn't have any luck again. Maybe on my next trip to Budapest I will have better luck.

I decided to do a charm bracelet when I go in the spring to Europe. I hope they are easy to find there. I was looking at the online souvenirs for Buckingham Palace and a light bulb went off.
