Book Description

April 14, 1998 Knopf City Guides
These striking new guides to seven major destinations are so appealing that you won't be able to put them down--even after you've stopped traveling. Slender and light, they fit into your purse or pocket. The traveler gets a rich flavor of a city through 600 vibrant color photographs while being guided through the 400 best hotels, restaurants, shops, and cultural sights.

Each guide is divided into nine sections: Everything You Need to Know takes you into a given city and explains local transportation once you are there; Where to Stay lists 80 hotels with a wide range in price; Where to Eat includes everything from diners to four-star restaurants; After Dark shows you the clubs, discos, theaters, and concert halls; What to See guides the traveler from museums to cultural monuments and other places of interest; Further Afield provides 36 excursions just outside the city to historic houses, botanical gardens, zoos, or museums; and Where to Shop features 80 different boutiques, department stores, and markets. At the back are subway and bus routes and 10 double-page spreads of city Maps. Also included is the Business Reference Guide, with information for the business traveler on the city's stock exchange, major banks, business newspapers, television and radio stations, as well as a schedule of conventions.


SOME HIGHLIGHTS
The guide to MADRID gives you a tour of the tapas bars and a flea market where on Sunday you can find everything from parrots to paintings.

1.0 out of 5 stars I DON'T LIKE ANY KNOPF CITY GUIDE, October 25, 2000
By 
UNCLE NORMY (CALIFORNIA USA) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Knopf City Guide: Madrid (Knopf City Guides) (Paperback)
Don't confuse the Knopf city guide with the Knopf Guide. The Knopf Guides are quite good. The city guide, of which I have mistakenly bought several, is very short, and devotes at least 80% to where to eat, where to stay, where to shop, where to find night life...20% or less useful info of what to visit if your'e a tourist. And the maps are pretty useless too.

2.0 out of 5 stars colorful pictures but not practical, September 2, 2000
By 
Reza Hussein (Bellevue, WA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Knopf City Guide: Madrid (Knopf City Guides) (Paperback)
This is not a very practical guide book. The descriptions of hotels/places to see are very brief and the guide does not suggest good itinaries to tour Madrid. Pages on the right are random photo samplings of tourist spots/hotels which give the reader a good overview of the place. The description of hotels does not include specific prices only price ranges. First time visitors to Madrid are better off getting the "Eyewitness Travel Guides".
