 Prague August 7, 2001
I couldn't find the current edition, so I had to settle for the third edition. However, I found it extremely useful to have on hand from consulting the Metro map to small area maps. They can't replace having a good map of Prague, but they can help you find and identify sights in an area and nearby restaurants. Complete pronunciation would make the small Czech language guide in the back more useful since Czech is not a language you just start speaking. I don't understand why Lonely Planet no longer makes their cities guides in a pocket friendly size. I loved being able to cram the Melbourne guide in my pocket when I wandered around there. It is debatable on just getting the entire Czech and Slovak Republic guide instead of just the Prague guide, since there is a large amount of overlap. If you're just visiting Prague, I would recommend getting this small volume, but for more widespread travel in the Czech Republic, the complete volume is your choice. I took both, and probably could have done without this city guide, but didn't want to take any chances on missing out on anything in Prague, even though Prague has more than enough to offer for several visits. Included are several day trips outside of Prague, such as to Terezin, a nearby concentration camp and site of a clever ruse. Worth half a day visit, though fairly depressing. If you're going to spend more than a few days in Prague, this is essential. For just a weekend you will still get some use out of it, though it might overwhelm you with all the places to visit in Prague.
