Europe for Dummies is a perfect book for a first or second time traveler to Europe. In March I went on a trip to four countries in Europe and took three different travel guides with me. Europe for Dummies was used much more than the other two that I had brought, and with justified reasons. A previous reviewer said it was too vague, and although I agree with them in some aspects, Europe for Dummies saved us more time and even money in some cases than I ever expected any of the books to. The descriptions are short and full of information, which is what I want when I am traveling. Detailed maps and directions also hellp make Europe for Dummies a great travel guide. Whether or not you would be buying this book to take with you, or to read it before you go on a trip to Europe, Europe for Dummies is a great source of information to prepare and inform you for the many awesome and surreal sights Europe has to offer. Definitely recomended.

My husband and I went on a tour of Europe, so most of the work was done for us. This book was a great supplement and had great tips for things to avoid on the tour. It was a quick reference and narrowed down sites to see, so we could make the most of the little time we had in each country. It doesn't seem like it would be enough, though, as your sole guide on Europe, if you're not on a tour.

I tried out this book and found it to be very vague. It tells some of the different types of travel but doesn't give you any specifics. It honestly isn't much help if you are actually planning to go to europe. It also mentions too few different ways that you can stay such as backpacking and such throughout all the different countries. It gave very little info on anything. Then at the end to take up space they rate and give short descriptions of damn near every restaurant in europe. Just to fill up space since this book was just about useless! If I were you I'd skip over this book and find another one that fits your needs the best.

We used this book almost daily during our recent trip to France and Holland. My only complaint is that it could use more indexes. It was often cumbersome to find something I had read before. I could have used a better index. Of course, I could have used stickies but I didn't have them.

This book was very helpful when studying up on Europe. The manner in which it is writing is very entertaining and easy to understand.

This book was exactly as it was represented in the description. I am using it to help me plan an upcoming trip. I received it sooner than expected from the seller.

I'm trying to plan my first trip to Europe and wasn't sure where to start. Europe for Dummies is a great first step! It gives great general tips and is a useful tool in deciding which countries and attractions are going to be the best fit for me. It has a lot of practical information about what time of year to visit, which festivals occur when, and customs that will help you fit in. Highly recommended for anyone who is looking for general information on planning a European trip.

This is a Great book for someone who is visiting Europe and planning to visit europe. There are several cost saving info as well as tools to help you plan a trip based on your budget and likes/dislikes.

This is exactly what I needed before I leave for Europe for the semester. Great book. Excellent quality.

I'd borrowed an older edition of this book from the Library and somehow it ended up lost. Replaced lost book w/newest version and the Library was very happy! Before overseas trips we peruse several travel books getting hints from each one. This one is a good overview, but we like ones that just concentrate on the country/countries that we are going to.
