Best Prague Guidebooks
Every major guidebook company from Lonely Planet to Let’s Go makes at least one Prague guidebook.
Most guidebook companies also make a book on the Czech Republic as a whole, as the country’s territory and diversity of places to visit make for enough material for a full guidebook.
If you’re only planning on visiting Prague, getting a specific guidebook for the city is a good idea. For example, Lonely Planet’s book on Prague gives good in-depth coverage of Prague and the surrounding areas.
If you’ll be visiting lots of places in the Czech Republic, getting a larger guidebook like The Rough Guide to the Czech & Slovak Republics is a good idea. If you’re handy with scissors, you can cut out the chapters you need and leave the rest of the guidebook at home to save room as you pack your bags.
Once you know what size Czech Republic or Prague guidebook you need, shop around for an guidebook that fits your travel style. If you’re backpacking, Lonely Planet, Let’s Go, and the Rough Guide are some of the best guidebooks.
If you’re going upscale, look into guides like the Hg2 Prague (A Hedonist’s Guide to Prague) that offer more high-end suggestions for hotels, restaurants, and shopping.
If you love sightseeing, consider picking up the Eyewitness Travel Guide to Prague. With photos and illustrations on every page, the Eyewitness Prague guidebook is great for explaining the details of Prague’s many historic buildings and landmarks.
On a budget? A lot of the best deals on Prague guidebooks can be found on websites where travelers that have just returned from Prague are selling their books. If you’re lucky you can get a copy with good notes and suggestions written in!
One last tip on finding the best Prague guidebooks: check the date the guidebook was published. If it is more than a year old, don’t buy it. Things change so quickly in Prague that an old guidebook will be of little use to you today.
