5.0 out of 5 stars Great overall travel guide, August 26, 2009

This review is from: Let's Go 2009 Europe (Let's Go: Europe) (Paperback)

This guide is excellent and covers all major cities and day trips from those cities throughout all of Europe. The information is informative and very useful. I love the suggested walking tours and the information such as local emergency numbers, currency exchange, post offices, etc. are great to have when you are actually finally there. The tips in the beginning are excellent - it covers packing tips, a packing list, travel tips (whether or not to get a eurail pass), must haves on your trip and things to think about and plan before you leave. The beginning of each country chapter you get the history of the country which I found very interesting as I cannot remember my old college history courses! The tips on suggestions for places to stay and eat are definitely a must as well as the suggested sights and museums that they highly recommend. They also have suggested itineraries depending on how long you are planning to be in each country. Overall I loved reading this book and loved using this book in Europe even more! Don't start planning your trip without it!

3.0 out of 5 stars Good book, but could be better, September 5, 2008

This review is from: Let's Go 2008 Europe (Let's Go: Europe) (Paperback)

Overall, I greatly appreciated the helpful cultural hints, the maps of major cities, and the recommendations on where to eat. The one thing I think this book is lacking is a more comprehensive listing of possible hotels/hostels. The large portion of their recommended housing requires a reservation at least two months in advance, which limited my options and forced me to use internet sites to locate peer-reviewed housing.

This review is from: Let's Go 2009 Europe (Let's Go: Europe) (Paperback)

This book is absolutely amazing. My husband and I travel every summer and Let's Go books are the only way to go. I really enjoy the additional maps included in the book. They are super helpful and very handy to have in one place, rather than scattered throughout my bag. I also like the step by step directions given in order to get to a particular location. They provide enough info for you to make a decision whether you should check something out or skip it entirely. Then they give you step by step directions on how to get there. Perfect for people who like to explore, but might be a little too timid to ask a native for directions. These books are AWESOME!!
