Prague has an excellent chain of
tourist offices
specifically set up to give information to foreign visitors (look for the "PIS" sign). Most other cities and towns have their own tourist offices (
informacni centrum
). A comprehensive range of
maps
is available You can buy them, often very cheaply, from bookshops, petrol stations and some hotels - ask for a
plan
mesta
(town plan) or
mapa okoli
(regional map). For road maps, the 1:100,000
Euroatlas
produced by Kartografie Praha is still the best, marking all campsites and petrol stations. For hiking, the 1:100,000
turisticka mapa
series details the country's complex network of marked footpaths. You can find great maps
online
at
www.mapy.cz
or
mapy.atlas.cz
, which, though in Czech, are pretty straightforward to use. Other useful information
for tourists (each section contains more specific sub-sections): |
