Exciting Prague!

Prague was almost a footnote in older versions of Rick's books, but now it has its own publication and it is loaded with information -- everything the saavy traveller needs to know. I always appreciate Rick's suggestions -- everything from what to see to how to behave appropriately when I'm there. I know I'll never be fluent in the local language, but with a few tips from Rick and his book in hand I'll be prepared.

Don't leave home without it.

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!

I like Rick Steve, but he dropped the ball on this book. Entries are confusing: he introduces a site, and then doesn't tell you how to get there. The maps are terrible. But the thing that really irked me was his section on driving in the Czech Republic. He said that there were road "tolls" you could avoid by purchasing a sticker for your car. That is just plain false. There are no tolls at all. If you do not purchase that sticker, the Czech cops will stop you and fine you anywhere from 500 to 15,000 Crowns. 1000 Crowns = about $45. That's what our friendly Czech officer hit us with.
