Actually, this guide to Prague was the only one available in my local library, so I had no choice but to be accompanied by the Rough Guide. However, I found it quite adequate for the short city break. Prague is a great place to visit, packed with historical locations, castle, churches, the old town areas with many historic buildings and interesting museums. My legs just about managed with the walking even with the easy to negotiate tram, bus and metro systems. The guide comes with a pull out map, but better ones are readily available everywhere for next to nothing. Watch the taxi drivers...they're rip offs.
