SUMO WRESTLER, JAPAN
Japan is famous for many things but for some reason, it’s sumo, a
competitive full-contact wrestling sport, which is among the most
popular themed souvenirs tourists buy.
DRACULA CUP, ROMANIA
If you say Romania, the first thing that may come to most people´s
mind is vampire Dracula alias Vlad the Impaler. No wonder that all the
local souvenir shops are literally packed with Dracula-themed items,
such as these terrifying vampire cups.

such as a bottle opener.

Overlooking Rio de Janeiro, the 30m (almost 100ft) statue of
Christ de Redeemer is the most iconic landmark of the city and
possibly of the country. No wonder it comes in all sizes, shapes
and materials in souvenir shops all over Rio.
GOLEM STATUETTE, CZECH REPUBLIC

statuette of Golem, a mythical anthropomorphic being that is
alleged to have been created by a Prague rabbi in the 16th century.
These statuettes are among the most popular Czech souvenirs.
EIFFEL TOWER KEYCHAIN, FRANCE
No souvenir list would be complete without the mother of all souvenirs,
