Gingerbread Museum

Located on the charming street of Nerudova in Mala Strana, the Gingerbread Museum serves as both a gallery and a bakery for one of the Czech Republic's most enduring traditions. With roots reaching back to the 14th century, gingerbread remains a staple of Czech culture, particularly during major holidays. This shop showcases the work of fifteen master bakers, each featuring their own distinct, secret recipes and icing styles. Beyond the artistic gingerbread, the shop offers a wide array of traditional treats including marzipan figures, spa wafers, and chocolate rolls. Guests interested in trying the craft themselves will find a full range of supplies, from professional cutters and food colors to the museum's signature gingerbread seasoning mixture. Additionally, the store is the only place to find certain pieces of hand-decorated porcelain from the historic company Český porcelán a.s.
