Product Description
"The Rough Guide to Prague" is the definitive guidebook to the Czech capital. A 24-page, full-colour introduction gives an inspiring insight into many of Prague's highlights, from the spectacular castle complex to the cobbled back streets and secret gardens of Mala Strana. The guide includes extensive and reliable reviews of hotels and restaurants in every price range, plus the low-down on the best places to sample Czech beer. There are comprehensive accounts of day-trips to the medieval town of Kutna Hora and other nearby attractions. The guide also includes thorough and informed commentary on Prague's history, politics and culture, plus detailed maps and plans for every region.

If you are interested in more than just the beer...,

This review is from: The Rough Guide to Prague (Rough Guide Travel Guides) (Paperback)
I adore Prague and have read so many guide books on the city you wouldn't believe! This is by far my favourite... true it's wordy and lacking in photos, so if you're just visiting for a weekend and want to see the obvious sights, you may fare better with other guides.
I rate this guide above the others on the city purely because of the research and detail that has gone into its creation. Sure others tell you what to see when you arrive, but this one takes the extra step and holds your hand whilst you travel around the sights. I like that! Then again, maybe I just like tantalising trivia :) The best way I can describe it is... other guides I've read on Prague tell you that the Trade Fair Palace (National Art Gallery) exists and how to get to it... this one tells you about the highlights of the collection, which floor they're on and a little bit of detail or history about the piece of art you're looking at. I should also point out at this point, that despite all this wordiness, it's also refreshingly straightforward and easy to read.

Prague Rough Guide Review,
By
This review is from: The Rough Guide to Prague (Rough Guide Travel Guides) (Paperback)
The Prague Rough Guide was disappointing and I wouldn't recommend it. It's not too bad in routine areas such as food and accomodation but beyond that it's patchy and lacks detailed information on quite a lot of things to see. The glory of Prague is its architecture and this is woefully lacking in this book. It seemed that the author was happy to write when he was interested but otherwise not. He didn't seem to know much about art either. It was also at times lazy. Three entries for Mozart in the index under slghtly different names!
5.0 out of 5 stars
Really good book!,

This review is from: The Rough Guide to Prague (Rough Guide Travel Guides) (Paperback)
Excellent Book! So useful while we were in Prague! Highy recommended! We found it to be much more useful than the Lonely Planet. Even with this version being a bit older, it was still very good, even some of the stuff which you think might be out of date about restaurants etc was still good.
