Having lived there this is the only guide I would recommend

Having lived in the city of Prague twice this is the only book I will ever recommend. The way it is divided up makes more sense than the rest. It gives great information about Prague and into the surrounding area. The recommendations for restaurants are top notch and the security advice it gives is great. Highly recommend if you are taking a trip to this wonderful city.

Unlike any other travel guides.

A chance acquisition of the Prague Eyewitness Travel Guide has made me a rabid and devoted fan of the entire series. Although many travel guides offer excellent text content in terms of descriptions and reviews (Lonely Planet comes to mind), what makes the Eyewitness series such a standout is its innovative use of (glossy, color) photographs and illustrations. The Eyewitness guides use visual displays to convey information that cannot be easily gleaned otherwise, yet is extremely helpful to the travel experience. Here are just a few examples, from the Prague guide: * The illustration of the Charles Bridge identifies each statue by the saint's name; information which is not completely obvious (at least not to non-Czech speakers) when you're standing in front of one. * Cutaway illustrations of churches, museums, etc. identify rooms, sections, items, etc., making it easy to home in on areas of interest, or to identify otherwise unlabeled features. * Photographs of the outside of the buildings of reviewed attractions. * Photographs of paper and coin currency. * Photographs and explanations of foods and beverages. * My personal favorite: photographs of automatic metro ticket machines with detailed instructions on how to use them. Don't miss these exceptional and stunningly beautiful guides.

Best guide and best illustrations

This is one of the best Guide I've ever used. It has many illustrations and tips. It provides you with a historical background of Prague. It helps in guiding your tours as it has descriptions + addresses of all monuments, restaurants, shops, ... It has also street's map,... There are many illuastrations in this book that you'll certainly need to label taken photos. It offers you a virtual tour of the city showing its best attractions.

Don't Leave Home without It

Just returned from the Czech & Slovak Republics. Recommend this book highly for use in Prague - a delightful, friendly city full of great castles, museums, restaurants, and shopping (and hotels that need to be air-conditioned). This book has good details, pictures, maps. Very helpful! Phrase section was all that was needed, so don't buy an extra phrase book.

Excellent detail, fun/capitivating presentation - a must!

As with all Eyewitness books, the Prague guide is a great partner to help you explore a new city or area. It is high in quality and great in detail, and the presentation of the material is done in a very fun and beautiful way. Specific to Prague, the book was an excellent tour guide for us within Prague itself but if you plan on venturing out of Prague you will need another guide to work with.
