1.
The first Czech Republic-only guidebook & the most up-to-date Czech Republic introduced by the author, a Czech Tourism Board employee

"Friends Czech" is a Czech guidebook like no other.
There have been guidebooks that cover only Prague or introduce Eastern Europe as a whole, such as five or three Eastern European countries, but 『Friends Czech』 is the first standalone guidebook that covers the entire Czech Republic.
The author, who felt regretful that there was no dedicated guidebook for the Czech Republic, which is located at the heart of Europe both geographically and culturally, and is the heart of Central Europe and a transportation hub, published "Friends Czech" with the hope of further promoting the charm of the Czech Republic through detailed information on various regions, not just Prague.
As an employee of the Czech Tourism Board, the author's job involves traveling to and from the Czech Republic to gather new information and promote the beauty of the Czech Republic to the world, allowing him to quickly access verified information better than anyone else.

2.
A comprehensive guide to 11 major Czech cities and 12 major tourist attractions in Prague, including trips to nearby countries.

No other book covers the Czech Republic in as much detail as "Friends Czech."
As the only Czech guidebook, it provides detailed information on the charming Prague as well as 11 other lesser-known and beautiful major Czech cities: Prague, Český Krumlov, Olomouc, Karlovy Vary, Kutná Hora, Pilsen, Brno, Mikulov, etc.
Also, rather than explaining Prague as an unfamiliar and complex administrative district, it divides it into 12 major tourist attractions with familiar names for travelers, such as Stare Myasto (Old Town), Nove Myasto (New Town), Jozefov, and Karlin.
The Czech Republic is a landlocked country located in the heart of Europe, bordering many countries.
As a member of the European Union and a Schengen Agreement country, Czech Republic offers easy, unrestricted access to neighboring countries by train or car, a major draw of travel! For travelers who find it challenging to limit their trip to the Czech Republic alone, we've also included detailed travel tips for nearby countries like Germany, Austria, and Hungary.

"Friends Czech" introduces the Czech Republic through interesting and entertaining topics, including must-try activities, Czech national characters, shopping items perfect for gifts, author-picked food, celebrities born in the Czech Republic, the cradle of creativity, and the 2024 Czech festival calendar.
From the fact that Pat and Mat, characters famous not only in Korea but around the world, were born in the Czech Republic, to the fact that while the Czech Republic is famous for beer, it also has a long history of winemaking, and surprisingly, it is a country of festivals with festivals all year round, the Czech Republic is explained in an engaging way.
Let's organize the year-long schedule of Czech festivals through "Friends Czech," find out what David Cerny's top 10 works are among the ones you can come across while walking down the alleys, and visit Czech bookstores in advance to get a feel for the local atmosphere.

5.
Get a bird's eye view of Czech roads and transport with detailed maps of the Czech Republic and the latest Prague route map!

Even the unfamiliar roads and traffic of the Czech Republic are not difficult with just 『Friends Czech』.
All tourist attractions, restaurants, shopping spots, and accommodations introduced in the book are marked on the map in the main text.
‘Map P.000-00’ in the text refers to the page (000) and area number (A0) on which the spot is displayed.
For example, 'Map P.100-B2' means that the location of the corresponding spot is marked in section B2 on page 100 of the book.
All maps include landmarks that can serve as wayfinding markers, such as railway stations and terminals, as well as street names, to make it easier to find your way using just the map.
Detailed regional maps and a Prague route map are placed at the back of the book so that you can easily cut them out and carry just the map when needed.
With this detailed area map, you can find your way around without getting confused, anytime, anywhere.
