Information and Maps
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.
