Summary: Great Resource
Comment: Rick Steves provided nice highlights of Prague and other cities in the Czech Republic. We referred to this book every day of our trip. Wish we had purchased it before we made our flight and hotel arrangements. After reading his book, there are a couple of other towns we would have liked to have visited based on his descriptions.
There are informative bits of history spread throughout the book. Most of the restaurant suggestions were excellent. He points out "not-to-miss" sights well and gives you a strategy for avoiding crowds and lines. He tells you about other sites that are not on the beaten path (but still interesting). Would highly suggest bringing this trip on your travels to Prague and the Czech Republic. It is a helpful resource.

Summary: My Kind of Travel Book
Comment: I watch Rick Steves' travel programs on tv all the time. That was the motivator for purchasing this book. I'm planning a trip to Prague and knew that the way Rick travels is how I want to travel. What hotel? What restaurant? What is the history behind this attraction? It's all here and more. Rick's economical and hassel free suggestions are exactly what I expect and appreciate Mr. Steves' for.

Summary: Good Travel Book
Comment: I really enjoyed this book because it helped me navigate through scenic Prague with it's maps of different parts of the city that you would want to explore. I find this book a little confusing when it came to location of the restaurants but had no problem with finding all the site seeing places. Overall good book but can be improved with a little better restaurant directions.

Summary: Get a Different Guide
Comment: I like Rick Steve, but he dropped the ball on this book. Entries are confusing: he introduces a site, and then doesn't tell you how to get there. The maps are terrible. But the thing that really irked me was his section on driving in the Czech Republic. He said that there were road "tolls" you could avoid by purchasing a sticker for your car. That is just plain false. There are no tolls at all. If you do not purchase that sticker, the Czech cops will stop you and fine you anywhere from 500 to 15,000 Crowns. 1000 Crowns = about $45. That's what our friendly Czech officer hit us with.

Summary: Don't leave home without it.
Comment: This was a great book but we found that this paired with the Eyewitness book was even better. I like the personality and blunt opinions given by Rick Steves but when you need cut and dry info such as how to use the phone or which statue on the Charles Bridge is authentic then Eyewitness is great.
His recommendations were superb and we loved finding the authentic toys shop he mentioned tucked next to a (wonderful!) pub and sandwich shop. Thanks!
