Neighborhood: Stare Mesto (Old Town)
One of the oldest neighborhoods in town represents the medieval heart of Prague. It’s no surprise it is bustling with tourists every time of day. Križovnický square, overlooking Charles Bridge with Prague Castle in the background, is probably the most beautiful square in the city. Its unique historical atmosphere of gothic houses and churches, cobblestone streets and squares, and stone towers blend together with the modern era. A vast array of bars, restaurants, dance clubs, international brand shops, galleries and hotels bring life to the old city. With its charming and picturesque cobblestone streets, the nightlife and parties will surely be unforgettable.

Prague is beautiful city, stunning architecture everywhere. Public transportation is excellent and city is very walkable; lots of bars, coffee shops and restaurants. The historic Jewish synagogues are must see.

I had been to the one in Paris, so did not hesitate to take my kids inside this time during our visit in Prague. We probably spent a good 30 minutes or taking in how fun and colorful everything is, checking out all of their quirky takes on everyday household items. Some things are certainly pricey (the second time I passed on a thermos from here, as I cannot wrap my head spending $50 on one that I know will likely fade with time), but we still picked up a few small fun things. One cannot go into Pylones and not walk out with a smile!

A person who is touring can not be expected to know that the Czech currency changed " the stripe" on the banknotes a month ago.
This review is about Pylones in Old Town, Praha.
When attempting to pay for my items on Sunday afternoon 16 October, I was told:
1. The credit card machine was not working. I had to pay cash.
2. When I went to pay cash, the banknotes were not any good.
They were Czech currency. The woman loudly said she would not accept them. I felt like a counterfeiter.
She picked through my wallet in search of "good" banknotes and snatched those.
I was stunned. Previously, I lived in Prague off and on for seven years. This rude behavior is atypical for Czechs. This is especially true for merchants. The woman" kept saying (loudly) It's not MY fault. "That was not the point. She is at fault for treating a customer poorly. Perhaps an IQ test should be given before hiring.
Later at my favorite hotel in the entire world, I asked about the banknotes. The width of the strip was changed a month ago.
What should have happened if the woman was professional, which she was not, is she should have accepted the banknotes for such a small purchase. Shops collect cash and turn it into their bank. What harm would it have done for her to exchange it at a bank where the shop had an account?
I would have been saved the embarrassment. Also, the time to go to a bank to see which banknotes are valid.
Pykones originated in France. I used to live near their location. Next time I visit Paris and want an item from Pylones, it will be there.

This is a great store. First thing you will say after entering is "It's so colorful in here!", second thing you will say is "There is so much awesome stuff in here!".
There are lots of colorful and cleverly designed items for kitchen, bathroom, school and everyday life. Some are very useful, some are just cool and funny.
If you are a creative person or have creative friends you can get a great present here.

Loved the store. Was majorly impressed also because it was my first visit. Haven't seen a place like this earlier. Quirky and fun. Buy an opener, tray , or a tooth brush holder they are all bright colourful and fun.
