With a sizable expat population, remarkable architecture unspoiled by war or natural disaster, and a lively night life, the Czech Republic's capital city boasts a population of 1.1 million and is a virtual must for travelers to Eastern and Central Europe. The pieces in this book are both a charming enticement for prospective travelers and a welcome companion for those already there. Landmarks like the Charles Bridge and Hradcany Castle provide a dramatic backdrop to stories that range from educational to enlightening to laugh-out-loud funny. The anecdotes featured here include a Kafkaesque visit to the castle, reminiscences of a supermodel native daughter's exile and return, musings on southern Bohemia's fairy-tale appearance, and a fast-paced joust with the local police. \u003ci\u003eTravelers' Tales Prague\u003c\/i\u003e shines a bright light on a stirring place.","brand":"Travelers' Tales Guides, Incorporated","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47053178568944,"sku":"9781932361339","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781932361339_p0.jpg?v=1763639509","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781932361339","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
