DK Eyewitness books are the best travel guide bar none. We travel alot overseas(15 trips this year)and we always look for a DK Guide first. However, use local information for restaurants and the web for accomodations.

The DK Eyewitness series is, for my money, the best series of travel guides. The information is well organized, the maps are excellent, and the "where to stay," "where to dine," and "survival guide" features are very useful.

But the photos are what make these invaluable resources. Your mind can form an image when you read "half timbered houses" or "Gothic cathedral" or "beautiful mountain drive" in a traditional guidebook, but the hundreds of photos in the DK Eyewitness books really give you a feel for what to expect and what's worth seeing.

We were planning to spend almost all our vacation this summer in northern France and then make a quick spin to Belgium to see a few of the Bulge battlefields. After reviewing this book we've decided to spend a few more days in Belgium and take a real look at Luxembourg. The guidebook has already been useful.

This guide has maps, descriptions of the "must see" items, lists of hotels and eateries, overviews & history of Belgium and Luxembourg,and gorgeous photo type pictures of what you will see. It was most helpful in planning the trip.

The DK Eyewitness Travel Guides cannot be beat. Pictures, maps, and walk & drive tours are wonderful. I own several of their travel books and I am never disappointed.
