Prague in 3 days

The guide perfectly gives the directions for a superb visit to the city of Prague, just read caefully and follow the recommendations!

The Best guide book you can get

I have traveled the world over, usually I use the lonely plant series. But now that I have used the Eyewitness Travel Guide to Prague I am hooked. This is a fantastic travel guide, you could not ask for anything better. There are clear maps with photos and drawings, so you can find everything. Then for each item it goes into details. For example the charles bridge has a four page spread where is has a drawing of the bridge and then a description about each statue. It is so EASY TO USE, and it has everything you will need. I had this and small map and that was it for a four day trip in Prague. I didn't really need the map as the book has all the maps you need.

Excellent for general-purpose tourism

I recently spent nine days in Prague, including a day and a half of a group tour, and about five full days of touring on my own. I found all of the information in the guide to be accurate and up-to-date, and to be at an appropriate level of depth and detail. I was able to prioritize and choose what I wanted to see, and get to everywhere. The information on public transit (metro and trams) was very helpful. I traveled to and through all the primary areas of interest without any additional maps or guidance. Because I went with a group, the hotel was pre-selected (and not one that was in the guide), so I cannot comment on that aspect of the guide.

Others on our tour (which was a community college jazz band with several parents) had guides by other publishers, which by comparison we all agreed were markedly inferior to this guide.

Overall, this was an excellent guide, and I would definitely select DK's guides for my next trip.
