hi I am going to Prague for ten days and will have lots of time to shop. I won't have a car but staying in a hotel in a central location. Anyone know of any needlework shops?. I cross stitch, do needlepoint, knit and quilt so open to suggestions. Any other "must-see" places you can suggest?
thanks Anne M
Oh, Prague is LOVELY. The whole place is a "must see." The Charles Bridge and Hradcany, of course. If you have time, Visyrad on the other side of the river from the Old Town is very interesting. And the old clock. The old town is a lovely place to just wander around in. Prague is really my favorite of all the cities I visited in Europe. Sorry I can't help with needlework suggestions. I wasn't into that the last time I was there.

I can't recommend any shops, and I really had to hunt for Czech glass beads, believe it or not, but I did love the city. If you are in the area of the old town square, be prepared to pay $$ for lunch, but try the restaurant in the *cellar* of the big glass store. Not so expensive, good food, neat atmosphere.
The window designed by Alphonse Mucha in the cathedral is the single most beautiful manmade object I have ever seen. Don't miss it.
