2 Planning Your Trip to the Czech Republic
VISITOR INFORMATION
INFORMATION OFFICES E-Travel, a private Prague-based firm, has developed
a fantastic set of websites, including www.travel.cz for general Czech tourist and
accommodations information and www.apartments.cz for booking private apart-
ments online. Start any trip planning here.
The former Communist-era state travel agency, C edok, is now privatized so its only
U.S. office has long since closed its doors, but you can contact English-speaking staff
through its London or Prague offices or via the Internet. In the United Kingdom, the
address is 314-22 Regent St., London W1B 3BG ( & 020/7580-3778; www.cedok.
co.uk). You can call the Prague main office for advance bookings at Na P r íkop ê 18,
Praha 1 ( & 224-197-632; www.cedok.cz).
INTERNET INFORMATION Those hooked up to the Web can find updated
information in English on the official Czech Foreign Ministry site at www.czech.cz .
See above for the C edok, AVE, and E-Travel websites. For general tips, check out the
Prague Information Service at www.pis.cz or www.prague-info.cz . And for the latest
city lights and sights, try the weekly Prague Post website at www.praguepost.com .
