Vladimir Soukup: DK Eyewitness Travel Guide: Prague [1994] paperback

Few cities can match Prague for its air of mystery, but this guide will answer all your questions about the city while enhancing its power to fascinate. No other guide takes you by the hand and explains just who all those statues depict on the Charles Bridge, dissects the astronomical clock in Old Town Square, explains the symbolism of the Old Jewish Cemetery, and yet still finds room to tell you exactly how the trams work and recommends where to go for a beer at the end of the day.
