Prague: The Practical City Guide

by Miles Calder

See the best of Prague – without the queues, the scams or the tourist-trap bills.

Most of what goes wrong on a Prague trip is predictable: bad exchange rates, Charles Bridge at midday, the Jewish Quarter on a Saturday, restaurant prices on Old Town Square. This practical guide shows you how to avoid all of it.

Inside you'll find:
• Prague Castle, Charles Bridge, Old Town and the Jewish Quarter – with how long to allow, the best time to go, how tickets work and what to watch out for
• Money made simple: ATMs, card payments, why to decline currency conversion, and tipping
• Getting in from the airport and around by tram and metro with the PID Lítačka app
• Which neighbourhood to stay in, and quieter places beyond the headline sights
• 1-, 2-, 3- and 5-day itineraries
• Day trips to Kutná Hora, Český Krumlov, Karlštejn and Terezín
• Czech food and pubs, family and accessibility advice, and a quick-reference checklist

Clear, honest and to the point – ideal for a first visit or a city break.
