This review is from: Praguewalks (Henry Holt Walks Series) (Paperback)

Praguewalks is like having a friend who lives there and knows this wonderful city well giving you a private walking tour. Inside you will find 5 different tours showing you sights that you would never find on your own. Unlike tour books that give you just the highlights of the city, this guide will take you on a pleasant stroll through five different neighborhoods, telling you a bit of history along the way.

You cover little out of the way streets finding a wonderful statue that can only be seen by going around to the back of an embassy. Enjoy reading about the female patron saint of unhappily married women who grew grew a beard to be unattractive to her promised husband. These and other interesting stories are covered as you explore the sights of this beautiful city.

For friends heading to Prague, I tell them this book is a must! Even if you have time to take one of the walking tours, the book is well worth the money. Read all five tours before you go and find the one that is your favorite.
