Frommers Quide to Prague

We (my wife and I) bought THREE guide books, prior to leaving for Prague. We travel a lot, and we have used Frommers and Lonely Planet (among others) many times. Frommers without question was the best of the 3 books we took with us. We have NOT always found Frommers to be the best....but in this case, it certainly was. Interesting, once we got home, I could not help but notice the condition(s) of the 3 guide books. Our Frommer book looked like it had been through a war....the other 2 looked relatively new. My wife is sharp....she knows (within the first day or 2) which guide book is the most reliable.

Loved this book!!

Thanks to this book we had the best time in Prague. We saw all of the best sites and ate at all of the best restaurants. No need to take guesses as this book spells it all out for you. Don't travel without Frommer's !!!

A very helpful travel guide

I am planning a trip toi Prague and this book helps so much in my planning.Due to the difficulty understand the Schec langauge, the gu ide will be a great assistance re. hotels, restaurents, and sight-seeing,

Amazingly accurate, well-organized and the right level of detail

We loved this book while we were traveling because it didn't overwhelm us with too much detail, like Lonely Planet and gave us recommendations that we really came to trust. We just got back from Prague and the Czech Republic and used this book to take us beyond Prague to Czesky Krumlov to Pilsen and Karlovy Vary, not to mention some amazing castles, including Orlik and Karstejn and used this book to find hotels, restaurants and sites during our 1 week trip. We found that the book was amazingly accurate with its descriptions. For example, we ended up staying in a hotel in Pilsen that the book told us was clean, but had surly service - we found that was perfectly true! The woman at the front desk practically growled at us, but we completely expected it! The book told us that the castle at Orlik "never disappoints" and that was true - we had a wonderful time touring Orlik, and would probably never had visited had the book not recommended it. We were surprised at the level of accuracy that the book's recommendations provided throughout our entire trip. If you are a bit beyond the backpacker's approach to travel, this book is a great way to go. I highly recommend it.

The best guide to Prague

Just returned from Prague, and this guidebook was by far the most valuable resource we had. Walking tours and restaurant reviews particularly valuable.
