Product Description

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars If you are interested in more than just the beer..., 17 Nov 2006
By SugarSpunSister (Hampshire, England) - See all my reviews
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.

4.0 out of 5 stars I couldn't disagree more, 15 Sep 2006

What a relief Rough Guides are when nearly all so-called guidebooks published recently consist mainly of touched-up photographs with sparse text. I bought this in Prague having found the guide I brought with me to be next to useless.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not great for finding things, 30 Jul 2007
By A. J. Willshire (London and/or Glasgow, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I was in Prague for a week with some friends, one of whom had the Rough Guide. I was looking for a bookstore and the Rough Guide listed several - unfortunately it only gave very approximate directions to find it. My girlfriend and I trailed for a long time looking until we chanced upon a different shop and bought a Lonely Planet. The LP had great street maps and pinpointed the bookstore some way away.

This might seem like rather a trivial thing to rate a book on, but when you're in a new place the devil's in the detail and in general I prefer the Lonely Planet guides to the Rough Guides.

I find Rough Guide to be expremely difficult to use while traveling. When suggested places of interest, the book does not give information on how to get there! Read more
