Prague - Craig Turp

Few cities can match Prague for its air of mystery, but this guide will answer all your questions about the city while enhancing its power to fascinate. No other guide takes you by the hand and explains just who all those statues depict on the Charles Bridge, dissects the astronomical clock in Old Town Square, explains the symbolism of the Old Jewish Cemetery, and still finds room to tell you exactly how the trams work and recommends where to go for a beer at the end of the day. Full-colour maps, city plans, thematic tours and walks enable you to explore Prague in depth and 3D cutaways and models of all the major sights ensure you won't miss a thing. Whether you are visiting the world-famous markets with all the family, or sampling the major sights within the Prague castle, enjoy the charm of the Czech capital with this fully updated and expanded Eyewitness Travel Guide.
