Book Description

August 15, 2002
Frommer's is the name you can trust for great travel bargains. Our acclaimed $-a-Day series is not for backpackers who want to rough it, but for travelers with taste, who've outgrown their student lifestyle and demand comfortable accommodations and good, authentic meals at a reasonable price. Each guide is loaded with detailed listings for mom-and-pop motels, B&Bs, comfortable guesthouses, good-value bistros, and ethnic restaurants. You'll find a bargain-hunter's shopping guide, affordable fun after dark, and complete sightseeing coverage, including the best things to do for free (or almost).

Our expert authors have already gone everywhere you might go--they've done the legwork for you, and they're not afraid to tell it like it is, saving you time and money. Every Frommer's $-a-Day Guide is up-to-date, with dozens of color maps and exact prices for every single expense, so you can accurately plan each day's budget. Frommer's knows that affordable travel doesn't have to mean making sacrifices. It's about having fun and getting a great deal!

Europe can be an expensive place . The answer? Frommer's Europe from $70 a Day, which makes Europe affordable for anyone. Unlike most of the competition, it's thoroughly updated every year to keep on top of the latest changes in this fast-paced city.

The guide is meticulously researched by our expert authors, who have uncovered Europe's best bargains. You'll rely on their candid, indepth reviews of the best bargain accommodations, from an antique-filled canalside home in Amsterdam to a Renaissance-era Florence palazzo-many for less than $30 a night. Discover incredible deals on dining, from a Paris bistro with a $13 menu du jour to Athens's best souvlaki for less than $5. Plus, the book is a complete guide to Europe's best sights-museums, castles, cathedrals, cemeteries, literary landmarks, gardens, and much more-with the lowdown on low-cost nightlife, from Spanish tapas bars to German beer gardens and British pubs. You'll even get a color fold-out map and an online directory that makes trip-planning a snap!

4.0 out of 5 stars Good for the cities included, November 9, 2002
By 
"doreenb1992" (Seattle, WA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Frommer's Europe from $70 a Day (Paperback)
Just returned from a 2 month trip using the 2002 guide. I found the recommendations for the restaurants to be excellent. After realizing that the Frommer's writers and I had the same tastes, I made it a point of seeking out all of their 'starred' recommendations for restaurants. The sightseeing descriptions and recommendations were also quite good. The hotel recommendations were not as good. A few of the hotels we stayed in that were not 'starred' or listed as a 'Find' were not as comfortable as hotels in other books.

We traveled with this Frommer's, Rick Steves, Lonely Planet and Rough Guides through France, Belguim, Austria, Switzerland, Germany, Netherlands, Czech Republic, Hungary, and Italy. We liked Rick Steves' recommendations for lodging, Frommer's for restaurants and both for sightseeing. Lonely Planet and Rough Guides were not used if in a Frommer's city. If in a Rick Steve's city (but not Frommer's) we used Lonely Planet for restaurant recommendations (not as good a Frommer's but better than Rick Steves).

Background: Two travelers, professional, early 30s with enough money to stay out of the hostels, but did not want to blow the bank of 5 star lodging. Rick Steve's packing philosophy. Both traveler's love to eat!!

2.0 out of 5 stars Capitals only, April 7, 2001
By 
Tina (Costa Rica) - See all my reviews
Frommer's does a good job with the general hints on travelling cheaper, but unless you plan on visiting only the major cities and capitals only, look for another book. There are 24 major cities and surrounding areas covered from Ireland to Budapest, but that's not many cities in comparison with all of Europe. I only will have a short time in Europe and that means that I will only be able to visit two of the cities listed and have to use another book for everything in between. Lonely Planet is much more inclusive and definitely covers the lower price scale.

5.0 out of 5 stars AFFORDABLE EUROPE AT ITS BEST!, September 14, 2000
By A Customer
This guide keeps getting better year after year! I used the '97 edition to go to Prague and the '99 edition to go to Madrid and had a great time and saved lots of money. Now I'm planning to see London and Paris and the 2001 edition looks like all I'll need. Even the maps are looking sharper! Well done!
