There are plenty of guides to Prague, but few consider the city from a child’s point of view. Meanders through Prague, first published in 2024 and now heading into its second edition, offers a fresh and creative way to explore the Czech capital, with the city’s youngest visitors in mind. The book is a collaborative effort by local writers, artists, and food lovers, each sharing their favourite spots, including galleries, bookstores, parks, and playgrounds. But in a world dominated by social media, do we still need paper guidebooks? And how valuable is local insight when discovering a city? I sat down with Emma Hanzlíková, the editor of Meanders through Prague, to find out.

What inspired you to create Meanders through Prague? Was there any particular moment that sparked the idea?.
