If you're only bringing one book for your trip, this is definitely the book to get! Although I do wish there was a book just for Munich, this one has excellent information. I would recommend pairing it with the Borsch map, which is truly fantastic. If you're traveling around the region, this book will be perfect as well. Great solid info!

This review is from: Lonely Planet Munich, Bavaria & the Black Forest (Regional Travel Guide) (Paperback)

I've visited 44 countries, mostly on a budget, and Lonely Planet is THE only book I would consider using. It's throrough, comprehensive and concise. It's especially geared for the budget/adventure traveler, though it would also prove useful to anyone on a tour or cruise. Lonely Planet is packed with maps, useful phrases, history lessons, tips on culture & conduct, addresses and descriptions of museums, hotels, restaurants - everything you need. Though Lonely Planet leans towards those of us who travel in hostels and budget hotels, it also gives a good description of hotels and restaurants for those who wish to travel in a more luxurious manner. There are other good travel books out there - Eyewitness Guides, etc - that have a lot of beautiful photos - but unless you're traveling with a steamer trunk, these are of little use because they lack the information you'll need while on the road. Look at the others for inspiration before you go, if you'd like, but pack your Lonely Planet. I'd never travel without it.

The book you need if you are going to Munich. Very detailed. I wish that there was a simple list of the top 10 things to do in each location as opposed to reading through each section. But that is a small issue. Compared to other guides, it is the best.
