There are many shops along this stretch of street towards Little Quarter Square. Manufaktura is one I liked because of all the handmade items that they sell there.

What to buy: There is everything from crystal (I think there are at least 4 shops), souveniers, handmade items, and even a convenience store (you can pick up some absinthe). There are also a number of restaurants and ATM's or exchange windows.
