Summary: Wanna see Praha like a native?
Review: Wanna see praha like a native? well- I did. As I was embarking on my journey for 6 months in Prague to go to school I obviouly wanted to experience Prague like a native and enjoy my time in the Czech Republic. Which comes to my point- The Time Out guide to Prague became my new best friend! It was definitly the most in depth travel book, with actual honest responses to good questions that others dont bother to touch. From where to get your clothes washed, to where to find the best deals on beer, to the cubist architecture, museums, to varying clubs, hostels, resturants, that the average tourist doesnt see. Because of Prague's large expat community, it also gave places where to meet other Americans, and where not too (if you wanted to be on your own) It was funny, as I entered my class the rest of the foreign students had brought with them their guides- but by the second week, mine became the standard. Everyone appreciated the honest descriptions to the sights. It was nice to know where you would be ripped off, where to aviod, how to bargain, what to try, and what not to. It also has a section on hospitals- very helpful, what to do in case of an accident, etc. This book is chock full of invaluable information that even after I returned from Prague, I still flip through in disbelief. Later this month, I am heading off to Vienna, and you better bet that I have my Time Out Vienna guide on me. I would not travel any more without one-and neither should you. For the casual tourist to the lenghty stay, this is definitly to book for you. To me it was a great find that will be with me for many trips to come.
