Book Description

Frommer's Complete Guides December 10, 2007
You'll never fall into the tourist traps when you travel with Frommer's. It's like having a friend show you around, taking you to the places locals like best. 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. No other series offers candid reviews of so many hotels and restaurants in all price ranges. Every Frommer's Travel Guide is up-to-date, with exact prices for everything, dozens of color maps, and exciting coverage of sports, shopping, and nightlife. You'd be lost without us!
  • Completely updated every year (unlike most of the competition), Frommer's Germany features gorgeous color photos of the dazzling baroque architecture, picturesque villages, and beer gardens that await you. Come along with us and discover some of Europe's most spectacular scenery, from the medieval towns and half-timbered houses along the Romantic Road to lovely vineyards along the Rhine River. Frommer's offers up-to-date coverage of all the country's highlights--music festivals, hiking in the Black Forest, Oktoberfest, cafes, castles, and Berlin's vibrant, cutting-edge cultural scene.
  • Inside you'll find candid, detailed reviews of the very best dining and accommodations for any taste and budget. We offer a wealth of sightseeing, sports, shopping, strolls, and special moments--from highlights for the first-time visitor to off-the-beaten-track discoveries that will impress even the most seasoned traveler.
  • From beergarden to Bauhaus, charming villages and über-modern cities, the Alps to the Zeppelin Museum, our authors help you plan your perfect trip to Germany.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great all-inclusive guide, March 27, 2008

This review is from: Frommer's Germany 2008 (Frommer's Complete Guides) (Paperback)
I purchased the Michelin guide and the Fommers, and the Frommers guide has proved to be infinitely more useful. It is easy to read, very descriptive, and includes activities and lodging in all price ranges. My only complaint is that there aren't pictures, but the guide would be unmanageably large if there were, so it's forgivable! Enjoy your trip to Germany!

I'm a Frommer's level traveler. Their Germany guide is quite good. My wife, who is a novice traveler to Germany found it particularly helpful, as it gives impressions as well as facts.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good info on Berlin; well organized and useful, June 9, 2008
By 
Newbold (Fairfax, VA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Frommer's Germany 2008 (Frommer's Complete Guides) (Paperback)
Bought this for a recent trip to Berlin and tore out the pages on Berlin to take with me, since I don't like carrying any extra weight while out touring around. The info was useful, esp as a counterpoint to Rick Steves' pages on Berlin which I also carried. As we were heading to Schloss Charlottenburg, I read Rick Steves' assessment that it wasn't worth going! But there was good helpful info in the Fodor's writeup that helped us enjoy the trip we had already committed to.

I was glad to have this as an additional viewpoint on the various sites and sights.
