3.0 out of 5 stars O.K. Travel Guide, June 30, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Frommer's Germany 2000 (Country Annual) (Paperback)

I've used travel guides from "Fodor's" (Spain), one of those Cheap Travel guide (I can't remember the name, something like London on a Budget?) (London), and "Eyewitnes" (Rome), and have found this title about average. I actually like ALL the others better, with Eyewtiness being my favorite. It had lots of color pictures and iteneraries of places to see. I'm using the Frommer's guide presently to plan a trip I have yet to go on. There are a good variety of places to stay, and restaurants for different price ranges. Also included are smaller hotels (with character). It has a list of helpful www sites which is very nice, and a list of phrases (food phrases will help a lot, as i don't eat liver). I was disappointed that it did not tell me the season, teams, or contacts for the soccer season, to see a game. It simply states what stadium teams play at, and the phone number for the stadium, which isn't very helpful. Overall, this is an average book.
