Streetwise Prague Map - Laminated Center City Street Map of Prague, Czech Republic - Folding pocket size travel map with integrated metro map featuring ... routes (Streetwise (Streetwise Maps))

User Review: 5 out of 5 stars - My favorite brand of maps
I've become a loyal fan of Streetwise maps, and the Prague map is no exception. The detail and accuracy of the map is great, and the laminated format makes it very easy to use. I never get stuck trying to re-fold Streetwise maps, and they're easy to fold down to view just the panel you need, so that you're not so obvious as a tourist walking around with a huge, unwieldy map. Plus, you never have to worry about tearing or spilling on them!



User Review: 2 out of 5 stars - i agree, you do better for free
for all of the reasons described above, i too, like the streetwise series, but i didn't end up using this map...i'd say it rates fair/fine/ok. i had done some travel planning but upon arrival in prague found that the local/free/tourist maps showed more of central prague, better. just one specific example: the uzjed/petrin funicular was left off (or covered up by a key). and the flipping back and forth was inconvenient - something i'd expect and accept for central to suburb transition but not central to central locations.



User Review: 5 out of 5 stars - don't leave home without it
Streetwise maps are easy to use, easy to read, easy to refold, easy to wipe dry when your coffee spills. I always take one.



User Review: 1 out of 5 stars - Awful Map - No Detail
I am in the process of movie to Prague and bought this map as a resource for that move. I can't find any of the streets I am looking for on this map. I picked up a free one at AAA and it has much more detail.

I believe that this map may be useful for a tourist just trying to find a few key locations but beyond that, it is a waste of money. It is not worth $8.



User Review: 4 out of 5 stars - Great resource
I have to admit, I'm biased towards the "Streetwise" series. Having spent a great deal of time in Europe both on my own and as a tour guide, I learned quickly to appreciate the value of these maps. The Prague version naturally has most of the tourist areas: Mala Strana, Karlovy Most, the Jewish Quarter, Hradacny Castle plus landmarks, points of interest and major hotels/restaurants on one side: great for navigating around the city. Also, it has an overview of the Metro system, and street index on the back. The single-sided plan saves having to switch back and forth while maneuvering around tourists/traffic. But the lamination is the greatest idea: waterproof and easy to write on and erase. I would suggest an alcohol pen to mark routes etc on your copy. All this map needs is a Lat/Long grid to be an ideal tool for visiting Prague.
