Top 10 Prague (Eyewitness Top 10 Travel Guide) Paperback – March 18, 2013

I am starting to get a collection of these "Top 10" books. They have just what you need to start your adventure. They not only have the top things to see, but the top 10 in those places. Also restaurants, nightlife, lodging, etc. It has great maps of the area and transit where applicable. It is also easy to carry around. I use sticky tabs at the top to plan out OUR top choices. I recently chose the book over the kindle version because I like to see the bigger picture and my sticky tab method.

I have been using this brand of Top 10 for over five years and have never been disappointed. They are on point and seem to include the blockbusters along with some "off the beaten" track suggestions. Like all their Top Tens, Prague was colorful and easy to read. And even more important, easy to plan. The fold out maps for this guide were not helpful. As many of the streets needed to get to in the old city were not on the map. We used the one provided by the hotel. So that's why it gets four stars.

I am a flight attendant and travel quite extensively. I love using the Eyewitness guide because not only does it give you the places places to visit, but it gives you a bit of information on the history. It even gives you advice to where to eat and what to be aware of, for example the taxi's in Prague. Do not take a non-meter taxi. This is just a bit of information that can be useful to many people. Enjoy.

I like this book about the "10 Best" of Prague. It's not the endless, definitive book with every little detail and that's not what I wanted. I wanted the highlights and I got them. This format works really well for me and this book on Prague was no exception. Perfect for a week trip to Prague, but we went online for the latest on restaurants because they change so often it's warranted to supplement any book with recent info.

Prague was fantastic, with cobble-stone streets and shopping centers interspersed with Baroque and Art Nouveau buildings. This (and other similar guides) suffer from poor maps and too much information available only through hyperlinks, which don't work on my Kindle. Consequently, the guide seems to consist of Big 10 Lists and little else. The sights, however, are well chosen and easily rank among top 10, but I would give this electronic form 3 stars only (for the missing information), and I would give Amazon an even lower ranking than 1 star for not clearly warning buyers about the hyperlink limitations.

I'm leaving on Sept. 2 for a 2 week vacation to Warsaw, Budapest, Vienna, Prague, etc. This book and similar books titled "Top 10" restaurants, hotels, museums, etc. is like having your own private tour guide with you every step of the way! I love the pictures! I love the maps! I can't wait to experience Prague!

These Top 10 guide books are packed full of information, maps, pictures ... the perfect size to throw in your day bag or purse. I would have given it 5 stars but the print is so tiny. I would have preferred a bit larger book and easier legibility.

We travel a quite a bit and we use this travel guide for all the major cities. We also recommend it to friends traveling. It keys in on the major sites in the big cities and gives a lot of information about what to see.
