Summary: I highly endorse Time out guides
Review: I am a Time out travel guide user for life. Once again, the detail, accuracy and maps are superior; esp to other travel books. I highly endorse the Time Out travel series to my friends all the time. The Time Out guide series is not truly for backpackers, or those on a shoe string type of budget. But if you are one who wants to get everything out of a city...and experience the best the city has to offer, Timeout is for you.

Summary: Its okay - but its not as good as the Rough Guide
Review: I bought this book and the Rough Guide to Prague last week in order to plan my trip around Europe. The Time Out guides are okay but are more like directories of hotels, shops and sights than critical guides. They give you all the information you will ever need - but no information on what to see in the museums or at the sights it lists. This is why the Rough Guides are far superior. You get more criticism - really detailed commentaries on museums and galleries as well as the different areas and districts of Prague. The TO guide is also quite dry - with little on Politics, History and Culture compared to the Rough Guide.

Summary: Honest and reliable information
Review: I lived in Prague for a year and I referenced my Time Out nearly every week for restaurants, reliable maps, activities and historical information. I found the information to be well-written with clear explainations. Dress codes, crowds at certain bars and restaurants, prices were all accurate. I owned four guidebooks by four different well-known publishers, and the Time Out was all I really needed.

Summary: Honest and reliable information
Review: This guidebook has accurate and good recommendations for hotels, restaurants and basic shopping and is written with wit. It also links hotels, restaurants and shops (if in central Prague) to the maps in the back of the book which is a tremendous help to find places. In terms of covering the sites in Prague, it is good for a basic overview. If you plan to visit Prague for a weekend or a long weekend, this is a great guidebook. If you are looking for a deeper understanding of specific sites, take a tour or supplement with another guidebook.
