A part of the Maltese civil ensign, the Maltese cross is one of the

most important national symbols of Malta. Local souvenir shops

offer it in all possible versions but mostly, it is made from white

limestone, typical of the little Mediterranean country.

 

 

VIKING HORNS, SWEDEN

Sweden is a country where Vikings lived and the cult of these

feared medieval warriors and seafarers is still present here.

It comes as no surprise then that the Viking horned helmets are

among the souvenirs that most tourists want to bring home

from Sweden.

 

 

DANCING DOLL, HAWAII

Sweet Hawaii… Sun, crystal clear water, amazing beaches

and… those beautiful tanned hula dancers with the flower

wreaths! Don’t forget to get one of these dolls before you go

back to the cold gloominess of your everyday reality.

 

 

BRANDENBURG GATE REPLICA, GERMANY

An 18th-century neoclassical triumphal arch, the Brandenburg Gate

is an iconic landmark of Berlin and a major tourist attraction

of Germany. People often buy the replica of the structure and

pose with it in front of the actual gate.

 

 

MAPLE SYRUP, CANADA

Maple syrup

Canada is by far the world´s largest producer of maple syrup and

the maple leaf is widely recognized as the country´s national symbol

so when it comes to souvenirs, there is nothing more Canadian than

maple syrup contained in a little bottle designed in the shape of the

maple leaf.

 

 

PAINTED CLOGS, NETHERLANDS

Clogs

When in Netherlands, you can choose from a wide of range of

souvenirs typical of this country. Windmills, tulips, cheese – all these

things are iconic symbols of Netherlands. But there is one more thing,

super trendy but almost unwearable painted clogs! Made entirely

from wood, they are among the most desired Dutch souvenirs.

 

 

KANGAROO SCROTUM LIGHTER, AUSTRALIA

Kangaroo scrotum lighter

As the kangaroo is the most popular animal symbol of Australia, it

comes as no surprise that many souvenirs are kangaroo-themed.

However, the fact that one of the most common memorabilia is the

poor marsupial´s scrotum designed as keychain or lighter,

can be very…surprising.

 

 

LITTLE MERMAID STATUETTE, DENMARK

Based on the fairy tale by Danish author Hans Christian Andersen,

the Little Mermaid statue in Copenhagen has become a major

tourist attraction of the city as well as the whole country. Naturally,

a miniature model of the statue is what most tourists visiting

Denmark want to get as a keepsake.
