4.0 out of 5 stars Don`t go without it, July 21, 2000
By Marcus Vinícius Pereira de Castro (Belo Horizonte, MG Brazil) - See all my reviews
It is a pity that Lonely Planet didn`t updated this books inthe last 2 years. Czech and Slovakia are beautiful countries, easy to visit, but not very stable since the end of the Communism. Places there change more than in, say, Norway, so you'll find some wrong adress or tips on that book. However, it is a great book, that cover a lot of small towns and nature reserves that are outlooked at the other guides. I was very satisfied during my trip, specially with the Slovakia chapter. If you are going to see more than Prague, you should have it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent guide, August 6, 2001
By choiceweb0pen0 (Lafayette, LA USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
Sadly, I ran out of time to explore the Slovak Republic, something I hope to do the next time I go into Eastern Europe. So I can only attest to the Czech republic portion of this book. I found it extremely useful, especially in planning my trips outside of Prague, though it does contain a good portion about Prague. One of the best suggestions was to include a visit to Litomerice after the somber tour of Terezin. I didn't take the advice on booking ahead on my trip to Cesky Krumlov and spent about an hour finding a place to stay and I went late May. Not speaking any Czech beyond hello and thank you, I had a lot of trouble with the Czech train system, especially outside of Prague. I found the bus system to be better than the Czech train system since you could buy a ticket on the bus as you boarded and the bus drivers were friendlier to me than the ladies at the ticket windows at the Main Train station in Prague and in Cesky Budjovice (where my train to Cesky Krumlov was early and I didn't understand when it showed up, so I took a bus instead) Either way, it is extremely inexpensive to travel around the country, so at the very least take a few day trips outside of Prague, if not longer trips. I was lucky this new edition came out months before my trip. Another great guidebook by Lonely Planet. As for an earlier review, Prague Castle counts as a museum, so its closed on Mondays.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good book for Prague, May 9, 2001
By Michael (Paris, France) - See all my reviews
I bought this book because I couldn't find the Prague book in time (I live in France). Plus I like more of a country history instead of just city history. As an experienced traveler, I can say that overall this book is good. It's hotel suggestions must have been good because they were all full. The maps were very nice. The restaurant suggestions were great. Only a few complaints: It didn't tell us that the castles are closed on Mondays (we found out when we saw the big CLOSED sign on the castle). Also there is not much info on tipping. The book said 5-10% yet EVERY restaurant added at least 20%. I got the impression the book hadn't been really updated since the previous version.

As always. I've been using Lonely Planet Guides from time ago and I think that they are one of the best (if not the best) travel guides you can afford.
