Love the EYewitness books

I was a travel agent for 23 years - in my late， lamented youth - and prepared many European trips for clients。 I wish then that I had had a book like "DK Eyewitness Prague" to work with。 These books， which come out yearly， are the best， most complete siteseeing guides produced today。 They are mostly siteseeing because while they give a few suggestions for restaurants and hotels， the books' publishers realise that those things are covered by websites devoted to up-to-date info on dining and accom I was a travel agent for 23 years - in my late， lamented youth - and prepared many European trips for clients。 I wish then that I had had a book like "DK Eyewitness Prague" to work with。 These books， which come out yearly， are the best， most complete siteseeing guides produced today。 They are mostly siteseeing because while they give a few suggestions for restaurants and hotels， the books' publishers realise that those things are covered by websites devoted to up-to-date info on dining and accommodations。"DK Eyewitness Prague， 2019" is the latest in the Prague guide series。 I think this year's book is a bit lighter than in previous editions。 The front and back covers are thinner than before， and that makes a difference in carrying the book with you OR committing burn/slash on the book， cutting out the needed pages。 That's what I was doing with the books when I travel。Now， as for the book itself。 I go to Prague every two or three years so I'm fairly familiar with the city and it's sites。 The DK Eyewitness books cover the sites in great detail。 They highlight small， out of the way museums and historic sites。 The book is so detailed that a high school or college history professor could use the book in teaching the history of Berlin。 By the way， the book is also available in Kindle。 。。。more

Really great for history， background， and for walks。 We loved seeing places in foot and reading about them as we went。

I'm being obsessed with Prague right now。 I've never actually read a guidebook from cover to cover because I typically use the internet to learn about places but， in this case， I actually just wanted to learn all I could about the city without anyone's opinions on it。 Not only is this where Daughter of Smoke and Bone takes place， but at the turn of the century， my mother's family immigrated from towns just outside Prague that DON'T have books about them so reading about Prague， I felt， would giv I'm being obsessed with Prague right now。 I've never actually read a guidebook from cover to cover because I typically use the internet to learn about places but， in this case， I actually just wanted to learn all I could about the city without anyone's opinions on it。 Not only is this where Daughter of Smoke and Bone takes place， but at the turn of the century， my mother's family immigrated from towns just outside Prague that DON'T have books about them so reading about Prague， I felt， would give me the best sense of the history of the area without actually having to read a textbook :） And I was right！ There is a great historical section at the beginning of this book with lots of pictures and timelines that are great reference - plus， as you read about different buildings or areas， they provide the original historical page numbers so you can go back and remind yourself about what you learned and place it in historical context。I really loved learning about this ancient city。 I feel like I have a sense of the basic conflicts and resolutions as well as the actual geography of the space - the different districts and major landmarks。 The graphics in this guide book are quite good and there MANY colorful maps and diagrams。 My only complaint （why it gets 4 stars instead of 5） is that sometimes things felt a bit out of order。 In general， there would be a map of a district， say New Town， and on that map are lots of numbers that correspond to different paragraphs about that specific place。 Almost always， it would go map then paragraphs （so you could go back and forth to reference）。 And then a couple times， there would be additional numbers that weren't on that initial map and so I'd search all around and find that number on a later map and that was annoying。 Consistency would've been better - or a notation to see map on pg。 # whatever。Of course， at the end there are practical sections for people who are actually going to travel there， which seem to be very thorough and up-to-date， but probably I would always look online first before traveling to make sure things haven't changed。 I did skim through most of that stuff but there appears to be lots of suggestions for hotels/restaurants， etc。 I don't actually know if they skipped anything important but it was really full of information and for places of larger significance （the most popular cathedrals/art galleries/palaces） they would get their own two page spreads with suggested walking routes and particular things to look out for。I think this book is really well done and an awesome resource for people who either are going to travel there or just want to learn about this major city and the surrounding area。 。。。more

good helper in the city

Amanda ，

Decent travel guide。 I am not the biggest fan of travel guides as I feel you can get a lot more information and up to date advice online。 I only read travel books if I borrow them from the library。

Andre ，

J'aime les guides qui donnent du contexte historique。 Cependant， après le voyage， j'ai trouvé que les suggestions offertes étaient des offres banales que j'ai ignoré。 J'aime les guides qui donnent du contexte historique。 Cependant， après le voyage， j'ai trouvé que les suggestions offertes étaient des offres banales que j'ai ignoré。 。。。more

Nice pictures。 Excellent isometric drawings of areas of interest。

Alice ，

This was really useful and the maps were excellent for our holiday。

Catherine Woodman ，

Good pictures and while it cannot suffice as your only guide book， along with the Lonely Planet and the Rough Guide would be good
