This book blew my mind. Before departing, it helped excite me about the people, history and art of the Czech Republic. Upon arrival, it served as the most perfect guide to Prague. From exquisite must-do walks to the breakdown and illustration of statues along the Charles Bridge, it covered everything worth seeing in Prague. Because of the precise maps and excellent directions, my friends and I were able to cover historic Prague in 4 days, visiting every site that we wanted to because we had such an excellent device for orienting ourselves. I would highly recommend this book to any traveler who loves to understand the history and artistic intricacies of a region. I plan to buy Eyewitness Travel Guides for all my future adventures.

I have to confess up front. I love these books. I must have a dozen. I really like the Paris book, and the ones for Prague and Stockholm, and South Africa, and ...

On a cold day back here in the USA (or Canada) or elsewhere, have a glass of wine and sit in a nice chair or in the garden on a warm day and read this book. For a moment you will be back in Paris or Stocholm or Prague. You are back in a small restaurant or museum.

The photos and desicriptions and cutaway drawings are excellent. Plus they throw in some history and details on the art and many other things of interest. A solid 260 page effort - lots of stuff to see and absorb.

This is one of the best Guide I've ever used. It has many illustrations and tips. It provides you with a historical background of Prague. It helps in guiding your tours as it has descriptions + addresses of all monuments, restaurants, shops, ... It has also street's map,... There are many illuastrations in this book that you'll certainly need to label taken photos. It offers you a virtual tour of the city showing its best attractions.
