Prague by Derek Sayer
Derek Sayer provides an expert and very readable guide to the complexities of Prague's colourful past, while reflecting upon sides of the present-day city tourists seldom see - from a model interwar Modernist villa colony to Europe's biggest Vietnamese market - and presenting listings of what to see, hear and do and where to eat, drink and shop.
"There is no visitor to Prague who is not enchanted by this cityPrague has everything: the ancient and the modern, the history and the culture, the music and the tranquility, the contradictions and the harmony. Sayer's excellent book captures all of these facets of Prague to make any visit even more worthwhile."--Ivan Margolius, author of "Reflections of Prague: Journeys through the 20th Century" and "Prague: A Guide to 20th Century Architecture" "Meticulous, imaginative, unconventional--all the way from old palaces to Little Hanoi."--Jindrich Toman, University of Michigan
