Written by longtime residents, Frommer's Prague has all the practical details and candid advice you need to explore one of Europe's loveliest and most exciting cities. We've reviewed the very best places to stay and dine, from historic art noveau hotels to intimate Castle District guesthouses, from grand cafes to ethnic restaurants and local pubs. With Frommer's in hand, it's easy to explore the all the sights, whether you want to stroll the cobbled streets of the Old Town and take in its architectural masterpieces, wander the old Jewish neighborhood, tour the Castle complex, or check out the city's cutting-edge galleries and nightclubs. The guide also includes side trips that explore the best of the nearby countryside.
This was a very adequate guidebook to Prague, but aimed at (I felt) an older, more sedentary type of traveler. I am far from the most athletic individual, but I found myself laughing at the warnings about walking on cobblestone streets and the alerts about the difficulties of ascending small hills. Good for finding out about more traditional and historical attractions, but not where you'll find the hippest and most-up-to-date places to go.
One of the worst travel books I have used; poor organization and poor maps make it difficult to actually use. For example, St. Vitus Cathedral is discussed in three separate places in the book, most of which do not reference the other. A more user-friendly guide would place all the information about the cathedral together.
