Synopsis

The guide that shows you what other travel books only tell you!

With more than 550 full-color photographs, DK's Eyewitness Travel Guide: Prague captures the capital city of the Czech Republic museums, palaces, synagogues, and gardens. Accurate street-by-street maps and 3-D illustrated overviews direct you through Prague's five main sections: New Town, Old Town, the Jewish Quarter, Little Quarter, and Prague Castle. Special sections highlight the striking Old Town Hall with its 15th century clock, the magnificent St. Vitus Cathedral, the Royal Palace, and the National Theatre. Beside three walking tours that show historical landmarks, city parks, architecture, and impressive views of the city the guide offers suggested days trips from Prague including tours of the medieval castles in Bohemia and historic towns of Karlsbad, Marienbad, and Kutna Hora.
