Once again, Let's Go's young and budget-savvy researchers have left no stone unturned to bring you the real deal on one of the hottest travel destinations in the world. Completely revised and updated, Let's Go Eastern Europe includes coverage of everything that makes a classic European travel experience--castles, cathedrals, cafe culture, exciting nightlife, unspoiled beaches, and fascinating history--all for a fraction of the Western European price. This year's guide features new information on the Dalmatian islands, westward-looking Lviv and Kyiv, and all sorts of up-and-coming neighborhoods like Uzupis in Vilnius and Metelkova Mesto in Ljubljana. So whether you'd rather attend the opera in Romania or decipher the menu in Warsaw's milk bars, Let's Go's on-the-ground coverage can show you the way to what's fun, what's fresh, and what's free.

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely the best there is, April 29, 2006

This review is from: Let's Go Eastern Europe On A Budget 12th Edition (Let's Go Eastern Europe) (Paperback)

To be entirely honest, I had my doubts at first about the Let's Go line of guidebooks, but this edition really changed my mind. Having picked up a copy of the newest edition on Let's Go Eastern Europe, I recently set out on a tour of the region and found this guidebook to be exquisitely put together and extraordinarily informative. This is a book which maintains a distictly entertaining personality while still offering the soundest travel advice a budget traveller could possibily hope for. I could not recommend this guidebook more highly - it is quite simply the best on the market today.

2.0 out of 5 stars Ok on the countries it covers, January 24, 2008

This review is from: Let's Go Eastern Europe On A Budget 12th Edition (Let's Go Eastern Europe) (Paperback)

This book is ok.

I'm living in Prague now, and plan to travel eastward. It has helped me in Slovakia and Hungary and the Czech Republic.

The problem is that I want to travel to the Balkans...romania, bulgaria, and croatia are the only places covered in this book. The rest of the Balkans are completely not in there.

Also, it would be nice to put Greece in the Eastern Europe book as well as the western. I know it isn't thought of as Eastern, but the Geography kind of makes it a good place to visit while going through the Balkans.

P.S. Prague is NOT a trainwreck!!! I live here, and enjoy every minute of it. I'm sorry if there are tourists here, but you will run into tourists everywhere. If you are looking for a local experience, get out of Wen. Square and Mala strana!
