Editorial Reviews

Review

"...a complete city guide boiled down to its essences, a sort of text-messaged guidebook with photos and quotes from locals geared to a savvy weekend visitor." --Chicago Tribune, August 5, 2007

4.0 out of 5 stars Concise guide to throw in your rollaboard, December 4, 2008
By 
This review is from: Lonely Planet Dublin Encounter (Lonely Planet Encounter Dublin) (Best Of) (Paperback)
This was my first experience with the Lonely Planet series of travel guides and I will look for them again when exploring new locations. This book was simple, concise, accurate with information on city buses to use, hours of operation, and what to see or pass by. The maps of each district's sites, restaurants and shopping helped you acclimate to the neighborhood and the color photos gave you a sense of the place before visiting. The small, tearout map in the back was handy though I ended up buying a laminated larger one for more detail. Well thought out!

This review is from: Lonely Planet Dublin Encounter (Lonely Planet Encounter Dublin) (Best Of) (Paperback)
I toured Berlin for two weeks and this trusty little guide never left my side. I had some bigger books that were good too (Lonely Planet's Germany Book) but having this in my back pocket when out and about was a lifesaver. I too will seek out these books when I travel to other cities.

5.0 out of 5 stars Only book you'll need., December 29, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Lonely Planet Dublin Encounter (Lonely Planet Encounter Dublin) (Best Of) (Paperback)
I have at least six volumes in this book series and they are all great. They are especially helpful for finding places to eat. One of the restaurants I tried was for Indian food and it was some of the best Indian I have ever had. These books are true to what they list, they have not once led me astray. It comes with a map and has very well laid out sections. The other great thing is the size, throw it in your pocket and start the adventure.
