With Thanksgiving just around the corner, it’s not too early to start thinking about Holiday shopping. And I’m sure there is a traveler on your list! But even though travel is still difficult at this time, I’ve made this year’s Prague-themed holiday gifts with both the Prague lover and armchair traveler in mind.

1. Books
Books are always a great gift idea for any occasion, and there are many about Prague or by Czech authors to recommend. Here are just a few:

I’ll put DVDs in this category, too, although I know most of us prefer streaming over DVD purchases nowadays. But there are so many great movies made in Prague or about Prague that I have to mention a few.

2. Prague Tour Gift Certificates
If you’ve got friends who are thinking of coming to Prague, consider giving them the gift of a private, “concierge” tour of Prague. A personal introduction is the best way to get to know a new place, and your friend will benefit from the experience and guidance of an American who has lived in Prague for more than two decades. Choose a tour of Old Town, the Jewish Quarter, the Lesser Quarter or Prague Castle. Or choose a dollar amount that you’d like to spend, and I’ll adjust the tour time to that.

3. Prague-Themed Journals
If you’re not sure about travel now, you can plan your dream Prague vacation with a Prague-themed journal. Or if you know an aspiring writer who might be the next Franz Kafka, one of these attractive blank lined journals is a perfect gift!

4. Prague Travel Guides
|
Well, in this category of course I have to mention my own guidebooks first! My best-selling first book, Prague Travel Tips: An American’s Guide to Her Adopted City, has been a big help to literally thousands of tourists. The reviews speak for themselves!

And foodies headed to Prague will find the best Czech and international cuisine in my Prague Restaurant Guide. It will lead you to the best places to drink Czech beer also.

If you like to shop ‘til you drop when you travel, my Prague Shopping Guide: From Trinkets to Treasures will help you do just that!
|

|
Finally, my book of Prague Walks will help you guide yourself through Prague. In addition to the book of combined walks, you can get individual walks of each historical area of Prague, as well.

All of my guidebooks are available in both paperback and Kindle format and are updated regularly. The Kindle version will work on your smartphone or tablet.
5. Travel Gear and Accessories
|
We usually think about a travel converter for the different voltage in Europe as compared to the U.S., and it's necessary for some devices. However, these days most of our devices come with chargers that automatically convert the voltage for us when they're plugged in. But what you will need is a plug adapter. And with all the devices we use now, we will need more than one! But usually they are sold in individually or as a part of your converter.
I can tell you from experience that you'll need several (or you'll be very happy you have several with you when you travel), and I finally found a pack of 6! You will not go wrong in buying these for your trip. Plus, in Prague or any other European destination, you'll find only one per pack or with a converter. Take my advice and get a pack or two of these Ceptics USA to Europe Asia Plug Adapters. You'll be glad you did!

Of course, there are countless other gifts that I could recommend for someone who wants to visit Prague or who is is just interested in this beautiful city and its history. But I think this should get you started. In the meantime, I wish you Happy Shopping!
