A Guide to Prague

While other European capitals lost many of their buildings to the Second World War, Prague’s centre remained relatively unscathed and is today considered one of the world’s best preserved medieval cities. It is also interesting in that its buildings have less of a western influence than other cities in Europe. Easily explored on foot, the city offers a wealth of photo opportunities, things to do and areas to visit.

By providing five detailed walking routes, each with its own route map and instructions for getting from one attraction to the next, this book gives readers the opportunity to compare and contrast different areas of Prague and learn how the passionate populace of Prague helped to mould the city we see today. Rather than following costly organised tours, you can choose the areas in which to spend the most time without being rushed on to the next location, or encouraged to purchase goods from a particular store.
