Book Description

Series: Michael Brein's Guides to Sightseeing By Public Transportation | Publication Date: July 1, 1999

#Michael Brein's Guide to Prague by the Metro shows travelers how to go to Prague's top 50 visitor attractions by metro, rail, tram, and bus. The guide shows which transit to use, which lines to take, which stops to board and exit at, and, using about 30 detailed mini-area-walking maps, shows exactly how to walk from these stops right to the visitor attractions. Additional nearby points of interest are also indicated on these mini-maps. An ultra-large (very easy to read) official map of Prague's transit system is also provided. The Prague guide is concise, compact, and comprehensive and fits in your pocket (leave the bulky books back in the hotel room!). Michael Brein's Prague guide is part of the world's first and only travel guide series specifically designed to show travelers how to sightsee the top 50 visitor attractions by public transportation in a variety of the world's most visited cities.#

Review

For those who want to know where a subway will take them, there is a new series of city public transit maps packed with information. --New York Times

In all my years in travel, I've seen some offbeat things, but when I got a copy of Sightseeing by Public Transportation I was hooked, fascinated and wondered why no one's done this before. --On the Road with John Clayton

#Sightseeing like the locals. U-Bahn, tram, underground, metro, bus ... sometimes the best way to see a city is by public transportation. Michael Brein s maps include public transit routes and directions to the top 50 points of interest in cities around the world ..# --United Airlines Hemispheres In-flight Magazine

From the Publisher

This all-new "underground" sightseeing map/guide series has surfaced for the budget conscious and independent traveler who yearns to visit major tourist attractions in cities around the world by using public transportation as an alternative to cars, taxis or organized bus tours. The series includes similar guides for London, Paris, Honolulu, Sydney, Barcelona, Madrid, Munich, Berlin and soon other cities.

Michael Brein's Guides give you the one thing all the other travel guides do not, namely, how to actually go to points of interest! This powerful series provides you with compact, concise and comprehensive information in a small-footprint, map-fold format that fits conveniently in your pocket. Leave the big, bulky, heavy travel books in your room and don't leave your hotel without Michael Brein's Guides. And once you've used one of Michael's guides, you'll want the others!

This review is from: Michael Brein's Guide to Prague by the Metro (Michael Brein's Guides to Sightseeing By Public Transportation) (Michael Brein's Guides to Sightseeing By ... to Sightseeing By Public Transportation) (Map)

Don't bother with this map. The Prage metro is well marked, easy to use, and maps are available everywhere. This map has some "sights" listed but no overlay of the street system so once you are off the metro you are on your own. Very disappointing.
