Part 6/9:
Old Town Square, a picturesque locale surrounded by historic buildings, is a bustling hub but also a hotspot for tourist traps. From organized begging networks to deceptive petition scams, be vigilant. Additionally, eateries in the square may use dual menus—one featuring local prices and the other inflated for tourists. Avoid these traps by researching restaurants in advance or dining with a local friend who knows the best spots.
When it comes to souvenirs, always double-check the legitimacy of what you’re buying. Many items marketed as local treasures may actually be overpriced or completely unrelated to Czech culture.
