Eyewithess Travel Guides give the best overall overview of any travel book or other product on the market - good organization; great pictures, maps and other graphics; interesting & and concise text about history, food, etc.; good suggestions for lodging and eating. This guide was very helpful to understand and enjoy the Czech & Sovak Republics but I also purchased the more detailed guide for Prague.

I ordered this book from Amazon so I could have it sooner ... it is not often in the bookstores. It was delivered promptly and in great condition. DK travel books are wonderful - not only are the photos colored, the writeups are very descriptive, and touring sights have current Open/Close times which enables one to plan even better for a trip. My cousin and I do not do organized tours, so we travel all over Europe in a rental car with our photocopied pages of the DK books (carrying each country's book gets a little heavy) and these pages fit nicely in our carry-on luggage ... next to our maps.

I was advised to purchase this book before a recent trip to the Czech Republic. I found it to be very informative and helpful. The book's format is convenient and accessible. Reflecting back on my trip ,I think it was very complete and accurate.
The illustrations are one of the book's strongest points. The text did a good job of presenting the country's history , as well as contemporary life there.

Just returned from a wonderful trip to the Czech Republic.
Guide was a wonderful help. Heavily used it for Prague and Plzen.
Friends from CR thought it was an excellent guide.

Never been disappointed with these guides. Next I am going to order the "top 10" books.
