'Lonely Planet guides are a must-pack.' - Toronto Star

The Lightness of Being in the capital of Bohemia just got more Bearable, with Lonely Planet’s Prague Cityguide on your iPhone. Prague really is worth the fuss: an impossibly picturesque city of fairytale castles, stately bridges and genuine Mitteleuropean bonhomie. Our dedicated community of authors and ever-alert contributors has happily turned this town inside out to discover the best eating, drinking, sleeping, shopping and sightseeing on offer. From the Staré Město (Old Town) to the Nové Město (New Town) and everything in-between, we’ve been there, given it our frank and independent assessment, and given you the lowdown.

After 30 years, 90 million guides, and eight editions of the Prague Cityguide, we thought we’d achieved perfection. Then along came the iPhone, and the next quantum leap in possibility. You’ll find the same content – detailed chapters on Prague’s tumultuous history, genial culture, hearty (or should that be stodgy?) food and more; the best accommodation for all budgets; lavish photography; info on festivals, events, sustainable travel, local knowledge and so much more – but with features we could once only dream of. Our comprehensive maps are now dynamic and interactive, allowing you to plot your location and the closest attractions; all venues can now be filtered, tagged and text-searched; scroll and drag screens make navigation easy; and (best of all) our Cityguides work as stand-alone apps: no need for roaming internet costs. Outstanding!

• EASY TO USE - swipe to scroll through a full table of contents, dip into sections, and turn pages with a flick of your finger

• OFFLINE MAPS – there’s no need to go online to access our detailed street maps, fully retooled for the iPhone with location awareness, multi-touch controls, full-colour styling and six-level zoom

• TONS TO SEE AND DO – choose how to search through hundreds of geo-coded points-of-interest (POIs) – by proximity, category, preferences or favourites – then just tap to visit the website, or place a direct call

• TEXT SEARCH – whether you’re into ‘live music' or ‘fine dining’, every article and POI in your guidebook is text-searchable

• LOCATION BASED NAVIGATION – plot your location in real time on our interactive maps, exploring back streets and hidden treasures with no danger of losing your way

• WORTH A THOUSAND WORDS… – if you need some inspiration, just thumb through images taken by our award-winning photographers

• PERSONALISATION – tailor your cityguide to your tastes by tagging the best POIs as ‘favourites’

• MONEY SAVING – forget roaming costs, our apps are designed for offline use, and only take up the room of an average album on your iPod
