About this product

Product Information

Packed with information useful to tourists on every conceivable budget, this guide advises on where to stay, the best places to eat and drink (with comments on over 100 cafes, pubs and restaurants), the latest club and music scene, and how to get around the city - by tram, metro or funicular. As well as accounts of all the city's historical sights, the guide fills you in on contemporary life in Prague - like the episode of the pink tank, and the ad hoc shrine in Wenceslas Square, in memory of those who died under Communism. A whole chapter is devoted to the area around Prague, for those who want to see some of the Bohemian countryside. Further background sections include a detailed account of the problems now facing the country economically and politically, a description of life in Prague from a woman's perspective, and an article on Czech film. Some of its less obvious features include details of Prague's first launderette, and its first McDonalds, a history of the legendary Stalin statue, under which the city's potato store used to rot and the story of the Virgin and the Mangle, and many more pithy Prague myths and legends.
