Great niche book to bring to Croatia,

This review is from: Croatia (Eyewitness Travel Guides) (Paperback)
If you understand the type of guides published by Eyewitness, you will be real happy with this purchase. As a future traveler to Croatia, I needed a book to help me with where to stay, where to eat and where to go for nightlife. For that, I looked to the Rough Guide Croatia (search on 1858285445) and Lonely Planet Croatia (search on 1864503327). These books have lots of text and lots of information! However, when I wanted a guide that explains the history of Croatia, detailed information on each sight that I'm visiting, and great pictures to boot, that's when I picked up this book. It does have a restaurant and accomodation section, but it's pretty small. I wouldn't rely solely on this book to plan your stay in Croatia...

4.0 out of 5 stars
A helpful introduction to Croatia,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Croatia (Eyewitness Travel Guides) (Turtleback)
This guide is great for getting started in your trip planning. It also includes information on eastern and central Croatia in addition to the coast. Some guides ignore the east. The pictures in the guide are wonderful and give you glimpses of what to expect. There are many helpful general travel insights that you need like information on changing money, use of credit cards, tipping, local customs, etc. We don't plan to stay and eat in the major tourist cities so the food and lodging info isn't that helpful to us. But overall, this guide was worth the money for when I can't be on the web getting info. The book has a British slant since it's from a British publisher but if you don't need all the references to be in dollars that won't be a problem.

Warning This Guide is Rubbish.,
This review is from: Croatia (Eyewitness Travel Guides) (Paperback)
We have just used this guide on our annual family holiday to Croatia. It is expensive, out-of-date, and worse, its coverage of the subject of 'Where to Stay' is misleading in the extrem. important information is completely missing.
Get yourself a copy of the Rough Guide, owned by the same publishing conglomerate Viking Penguin. Apparently the author cannot even do a cut and paste job from a stable mate book! Or dump the lot and use LONELY PLANET CROATIA, that's my best advice. To the publishers DK, I say PRETTY PICTURES ARE NOT ENOUGH.
