"'Time Out has the best written city guides.' Sunday Telegraph"
Product Description
As the newest member of the EU, the Czech Republic formally sheds its East Bloc past - but that development only formalizes what's been a rollercoaster of change since the Velvet Revolution in 1989. Written and researched by Prague residents, the Time Out guide leads you to medieval Old Town's new design bars, to the crusty Zizkov district's classic pubs, to the romantic restaurants of Mala Strana and the hippest of clubs in the reclaimed industrial quarter of Holesovice. The poet president Vaclav Havel may have stepped down and returned to scribbling but the opening up of Bohemia is still gaining momentum every year. A mad community of expats call Prague home, having been attracted, like so many newly minted Bohemians down through the centuries, by the city's affordable lifestyle, gorgeously spooky architecture, and reputation for decadence. Meanwhile the Old European side of Mozart's adopted home beckons with improbably grandiose opera houses, Vienna-style coffee houses, and fairy-tale palaces that serve as gallery space - like as not, for the latest modern art experiments.

Superb guide!!,
This review is from: "Time Out" Prague (Paperback)
Spent 4 days in Prague and saw all the local attractions, with a lot of help from this guide- invaluable! Honest reviews meant we skipped sights not worth seeing and alternatively hunted out the little gems recommended in the guide, places that we would have ordinarily missed. Could not have asked for anything better - simply excellent guide!! Highly recommended.

This review is from: "Time Out" Prague (Paperback)
The Time Out guide to Prague leaves the rest behind with its uncompromising style, wit and design. It's honest, reliable, and clearly sectioned so as to make it an easy and trustworthy guide to use. My partner and me went for five days recently and took other guide books as well as this, but within a couple of days found that this was the only one that was indespensible.

An excellent guide - highly recommended,
By The Flaneur - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: "Time Out" Prague (Paperback)
I used this book recently on my second visit to Prague. I'd spent a lot of time checking various guide books out before I went, & this one did prove to be the best. It doesn't have lots of pictures like some but the information content is excellent, & it includes a lot of info that only locals would really know. In fact, it's so good, I left my copy in Prague for a local there to use! And now I have to buy another copy for me!
