Prague: Artel Style by Karen Feldman

This is not your standard guide to Prague. Named Best Travel Guidebook by the 2014 Independent Publisher Book Awards, the newly updated and expanded edition of Prague: ARTEL Style fills an important niche in the tour book market by focusing on the kind of local insider information that adventurous travelers seek. American author Karen Feldman moved to Prague in 1994 and launched ARTEL, the globally renowned producer of luxury crystal couture, in 1998. In nearly two decades as an expat, she has sought out the city's best hotels, spas, shops, restaurants, bars, and theaters, as well as other fun spots that are typically overlooked in other guidebooks. As in the original 2007 edition, Feldman s top ARTEL-style recommendations on everything from off-the-beaten-path shopping and dining destinations to which rooms to ask for at hotels are included here, along with tons of practical tips, little-known facts, and lots of beautiful vintage images. Written in a conversational, first-person style, the 2013 edition has improved maps, a new guide to Czech beer and local pubs, and lots of cross-referenced information to make the book as practical and user-friendly as possible. Prague: ARTEL Style is an essential resource for anyone seeking a unique travel experience in Central Europe's most magical city.
