Prague Craig Turp 9781405358828 Books Reviews
Dense with information. Sure, some of this you can find online, but DK is reputable and provides objective insights. There's a section providing tips for travelers, specific to Prague; particularly helpful if you have no or little experience traveling abroad. Comes with high quality (ie water resistant) map. Will make a helpful travel companion.
The DK Eyewitness Travel Guides are my absolute favorite out of all the different travel guides on the market. They feature more photos than the other popular travel series books which comes in handy when you are in a foreign city, like Prague and trying to find all of the locations on your sightseeing list. In addition to the helpful information about the important places to visit in the city, the book also provides practical information about the country for foreign travelers. A must-have if you are visiting Prague for the first time.
This is the one guide seen by far the most often in Prague. While it should drop the pretension of providing general information, it is by far the best guide available for getting out and seeing Prague.
Other than wasting space on hotels, my complaints are 1) It fails to mention admission fees. For example there is a fee to see almost everything in both the Palace and the Jewish Quarter. This becomes obvuious early enough in the Palace but you can wander around most of the Jewish Quarter before realizing that you could simple buy one relatively expensive ticket, 2) It fails to tell where you really should spend your time despite being the best describer of detail - for example it should tell you that they have already largely destroyed what character is left in the Jewish Quarter (Hotel Intercontinental!?) and they are working on destroying the rest, and 3) The maps could be better.
With the Time Out guide for everything else and the Streetwise map this book will equip you well for your Prague visit.
I used this guide on my recent trip to Prague and after numerous trips to the bookstores, I choose this book for the following reasons
1) Large color pictures. Not only great to look at but helpful in identifying buildings that aren't necessarily labeled or labeled in English.
2) City is divided into sections. MUCH MORE USEFUL when walking around then having attractions listed by type. This just makes planning and improvising much easier.
3) Great walking tours and itineraries for 1-4 day trips.
Other then that this book is on par with the other heavy hitters in the other major travel guide categories. It goes into depth about Czech history, it has adequate explanations of major attractions, good descriptions of local customs, laws and transportation logistics and is just the right size for day packs.
The only minor drawback is the hotel and restaurant descriptions but with the internet, using a guide book for hotel/hostel booking has become obsolete.
Bottom Line The price is little higher then average but it's worth it.
I recently took a 4 day trip to Prague (6 days, including travel time) and took this guide book along. This book was the only one we needed to have a wonderful time there! This book was in my pocket at all times, and proved invaluable for finding landscapes, museums, etc. Especially handy are the grid-styled maps which help you locate various points of interest. This is true of all DK guide books, but I found myself using the Prague guide more than any other guide book I have owned (and I own 10 or more for destinations all over Europe) The back flap was consistently tucked into the map section which we pulled out of my pocket and referred to frequently while walking around the city.
I would say the weakest link of the DK guides is its lack of "practical info" -- for example, we were completely lost when we got to the train station to try to head to Kutna Hora (about an hour outside of Prague); the trip would have been impossible if a friendly English-speaking Czech local hadn't been nearby and offered to help us out. In addition, the accommodations listings could be a little more extensive, so you may want to research more on the web or other guidebooks at a library for booking a place to stay before you go.
The restaurant guide, on the other hand, was surprisingly good -- the short descriptions managed to get us to places that were right up our alley (for affordable food and drinks in hip, interesting environments, I recommend Radost FX and Klub Arkitektu)
