Lonely Planet Prague City Guide 0.98

Lonely Planet guides are a must-pack. - Toronto Star

The Lightness of Being in the capital of Bohemia just got more Bearable, with Lonely Planet’s Prague Cityguide on your iPhone. Prague really is worth the fuss: an impossibly picturesque city of fairytale castles, stately bridges and genuine Mitteleuropean bonhomie. Our dedicated community of authors and ever-alert contributors has happily turned this town inside out to discover the best eating, drinking, sleeping, shopping and sightseeing on offer. From the Staré Město (Old Town) to the Nové Město (New Town) and everything in-between, we’ve been there, given it our frank and independent assessment, and given you the lowdown.

After 30 years, 90 million guides, and eight editions of the Prague Cityguide, we thought we’d achieved perfection. Then along came the iPhone, and the next quantum leap in possibility. You’ll find the same content – detailed chapters on Prague’s tumultuous history, genial culture, hearty (or should that be stodgy?) food and more; the best accommodation for all budgets; lavish photography; info on festivals, events, sustainable travel, local knowledge and so much more – but with features we could once only dream of. Our comprehensive maps are now dynamic and interactive, allowing you to plot your location and the closest attractions; all venues can now be filtered, tagged and text-searched; scroll and drag screens make navigation easy; and (best of all) our Cityguides work as stand-alone apps: no need for roaming internet costs. Outstanding!
