This book, which was compiled during the dramatic breakup of Czechoslovakia into two seprate republics, is a vividly up-to-date account of the two states and their peoples. It combines the authority of native writers and photograpers with the expertise of Insight Guides' expert team, renowed for their combination of incisive prose and stuning photojurnalism. 

In-Depth coverige is given to Prague, a cultural metropolis of the world statue with its medival heart, its mighty castle and its magnificen collection of churches and palaces. The book then guides readers to the once fashionable health resorts of Bohemia, leads them through the romantic wine villages of Moravia, and ot to slovakian capital  of Bratislava. It unveils the beauty of the Sudetic Mountains, and the Tatras, scenic jewls waithing to be explored. 

The insight guides team has assembled more then 350 pages of vivid text, detail maps, lavish photographs and practical information. This is both an aspiration and practical guidebook.
