Too tight of a squeeze for all of Europe,
By The Writer Bee (USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Let's Go 2006 Europe (Let's Go: Europe) (Paperback)
I lived in the UK for a year and did quite a bit of traveling through Europe and will do nothing but rave about the Let's Go series, however the Let's Go Europe is not what I would recommend.
Europe is a BIG place...lots to see and do and the countries are all very differnet. To try and squeeze all this into one book somewhat defeats its purpose. They do a good job of stuffing a lot of information between the cover leaving you with a really big book (which is awkward to carry around) - but at the end of the day you still end up missing stuff because, let's face it, they just can't fit it all. I think for those looking to go to Europe, my recommendation would be to buy individual guide books for each country or major city you plan to spend any length of time in. I did this for a 10 day trip to Rome and my Let's Go Rome book was invaluable to me. I took notes in it and used a lot of the recommendations. Buying a separate book for each country/city is a bit more expensive, but definitely worth it.

Excellent...,

This review is from: Let's Go 2006 Europe (Let's Go: Europe) (Paperback)
This book is the perfect base guide if you are travelling in Europe. If you are doing mostly Western Europe (Italy, France, Spain, Britain, Netherlands, etc.) I would recomment Let's Go Western Europe. It is a little more in depth and it still has the main northern and Eastern Europe cities like Budapest, Prague, Helinsky, Copenhaguen, etc.
This guide has every place you can imagine, plus very detailed information about travelling, lodging, sights, eating, and nightlife. If you want a good guide for parties, get Party Europe 2005. It is much more detailed but it only has 14 places. It will still be a good supplemental guide and the review of most places are about half a page, when in Let's go are about a tenth. I strongly recommend this book if you are going to be travelling in Europe. The Western Europe option is more expensive but it is going to be well worth it. Just to let you know, this guide includes: maps of most major cities; subway maps of a few; info on hostels, food, sights, and nightlife; sample itinerarie; and much otheruseful information.

Pretty good ... :),
By Thinker (West Coast) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Let's Go 2006 Europe (Let's Go: Europe) (Paperback)
Not great ? ... nope.
First things first ... I used one of these guides for my very first trip to Europe in the 80's when really there was nothing else around for the budget traveller. Things are different now ... Lonely Planet and a gazillion other publications make Let's Go one choice among many - but it still has that 'poor student' backpacking mentality and for that it's still unique. My main gripe ? ... piss poor editing from one year to the next. Thanks to them I actually missed Tivoli Gardens in Denmark - they did not bother to check the actual dates running and we got there one weekend too late. It had just closed. Boo. Oh well ... still a good guide and for bargains, very good. (except not *everything* is teeming with seedy sensuality !)
