5.0 out of 5 stars Don't leave home without it., July 8, 2006

By	Kathryn Farnsworth "kathryn32" (Louisville, KY) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This was a great book but we found that this paired with the Eyewitness book was even better. I like the personality and blunt opinions given by Rick Steves but when you need cut and dry info such as how to use the phone or which statue on the Charles Bridge is authentic then Eyewitness is great.
His recommendations were superb and we loved finding the authentic toys shop he mentioned tucked next to a (wonderful!) pub and sandwich shop. Thanks!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Resource, November 5, 2006

By	binkbink (Berkeley, CA United States) - See all my reviews

Rick Steves provided nice highlights of Prague and other cities in the Czech Republic. We referred to this book every day of our trip. Wish we had purchased it before we made our flight and hotel arrangements. After reading his book, there are a couple of other towns we would have liked to have visited based on his descriptions.

There are informative bits of history spread throughout the book. Most of the restaurant suggestions were excellent. He points out "not-to-miss" sights well and gives you a strategy for avoiding crowds and lines. He tells you about other sites that are not on the beaten path (but still interesting). Would highly suggest bringing this trip on your travels to Prague and the Czech Republic. It is a helpful resource.
