I noticed something similar in Prague (Summer 2020) - I am single and have no kids so I had no reason to visit one, but I did find odd that there was such a large number of shops selling just extra-sugary stuff.
I am not 100% sure that we are talking of the same kind of shops, though. Here is what I mean: https://www.yelp.com/search?cflt=candy&find_loc=Prague https://www.yelp.com/search?cflt=candy&find_loc=Prague
- lproven 4y agoYeah, there are more than one type of such shop. I live in Prague. I am not Czech. I do go the Old Town, [1] because I like it, it's pretty, [2] when showing visitors around, and [3] because there are good places to eat and drink there. But in my experience, most Czechs never do. But there are tonnes of junk touristy shops that no local would ever dream of going to, Czech or otherwise. OTOH there are places like this: https://www.candy-store.cz/en/ https://www.candy-store.cz/en/ ... not in the Old Town, in the New (Prague 2), which are a useful resource for foodstuffs from faraway countries that we immigrant workers can't get anywhere else. And yes, for some of them, we will pay inflated prices, at least occasionally. So don't judge them all the same. Saying that, some of my visitors to the city _did_ want to go to the Chocolate Museum and other touristy places in the centre. :-)
