Tony Page's Book Recommendations: Czech Republic

Prague (Eyewitness Travel Guides)

Apart from Prague, few other destinations in the Czech Republic are on the tour itineraries (Trebon, in the Bohemian Lakes, is one sometimes visited for lunch).

If you're spending time in Prague (well worth it) this guide will do the business for you. Castles, monuments, museums, restaurants, and shopping, not to mention the helpful phrases section which is quite enough to get around. Extensive.

As usual, great 3D maps and illustrations.

Top 10 Travel Guide: Prague (DK Eyewitness Top 10 Travel Guides)

Getting a bit old now (Feb 2003), though. 100 pages less and smaller than the bigger guide, but as I mentioned earlier, if you've just a short time in Prague, this is really more than enough.

"This pocketsize 'Top 10' guide to Prague lists everything from the top ten most haunted buildings to the top ten beer halls, shops and hotels. It is packed with tips and handy maps, which help you to discover the real Prague."
