Lonely Planet Pocket Prague: top experiences, local life (Pocket Guide)

We bought this before a short break in Prague. It helped us to visit all the places to see, advised on places to eat and gave us a price prospectuses that was very useful

Really good although the map supplied is too small to be of practical use. The details are too hard to read.

Great little book, just the right size for your pocket. It was very useful for getting to see all the sights

This pocket size guide to Prague was a great help navigating our way around Prague and having a great time. Dinky size great for handbags and restaurant recommendations fab too 😊

Just in time for a weekend trip to Prague, BUT.... on first inspection, nothing about language or useful phrases or pronunciation, and nothing about flea markets which I always look for wherever I go.

I used this effectively whilst in Prague but the local map I got from the info desk had clearer Road names and it was easier to connect the main map to the locations of metro and tram stops. Must be said Prague is the easiest place to get around because of the great travel system, but I just felt the map wasn’t as good as it needed to be.

Current & useful information. Cant ask for more.

Very basic go larger and thicker if you can

Lots of great information in a compact size. Perfect to take on trip. Maps are helpful.

This came in handy for a 4 day visit to Prague in July '23. The guide is small enough to pack in a travel bag and is well organized. The print is small so if your eyes aren't 20/20 pack a set of reading glasses.

Unfortunately, this guide turned out to be quite disappointing for several reasons:- **Lack of price information**: The omission of even approximate costs for museum entries and other attractions is a significant oversight.- **No phrasebook**: I would expect the guide to provide basic phrases in the local language, which is immensely helpful for communication.- **Limited and incomplete descriptions**: Focusing primarily on churches and major landmarks, while neglecting other interesting places. Some places was poorly described, like the Lennon Wall, which is described without sufficient information on its historical and cultural significance, is a major drawback.- **Ineffective index**: Difficulties with navigation and a poorly functioning index greatly hinder the usability of the guide.- **Lack of practical information**: The inability to find tips for booking popular spots or purchasing public transportation tickets through apps are additional shortcomings.In summary, this guide does not meet the expectations or standards useful for travelers seeking comprehensive and practical information. I definitely do not recommend it.

As with all Lonely Planet guides this compact book includes everything you need to visit Prague's sites hotel, bars, restaurants fully described and no extra padding. It's all good.

I liked the concise description of sites and activities. The enclosed map was also very helpful
