5.0 out of 5 stars Simply Excellent!, March 19, 2006

This review is from: Let's Go 2006 Western Europe (Let's Go: Western 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 definetly. It is a little more in depth that the regular Let's Go Europe 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.

If you are looking to party a lot in Europe, be sure to get a copy of Party Europe 2005 as well! These two books are a perfect combination.

I agree with Juanito's review. This guide rocks. If you really want to have the best time of your life, buy a copy of Party Europe as well. Let's Go tells you where to stay and eat, Party Europe will tell you how to have fun. Great combination. Can't wait to head back to the old country.

This review is from: Let's Go 2006 Western Europe (Let's Go: Western Europe) (Paperback)

I bought this for my son who was traveling to Europe this fall. He was backpacking and the book is HUGE. However, he tore out the pages of the places he planned to visit and took only those with him. He found it very useful and accurate. I recommend the book highly, especially if you have a big suitcase.
