This review is from: Lonely Planet Rio de Janeiro (City Guide) (Paperback)
I purchased this book to take with me on an 8-day trip to Rio. It was very helpful in deciding where go and the maps were particularly helpful. I definitely recommend it to anyone going to Rio!

This review is from: Lonely Planet Rio de Janeiro (City Guide) (Paperback)
I was really impressed with the LP guide for Rio de Janeiro. The book itself is pretty comprehensive, and it definitely shows that author spent time not only exploring the city but the nightlife as well.I'm the type of traveler who will have two books on a city with me. I used the Top 10 Rio de Janeiro (EYEWITNESS TOP 10 TRAVEL GUIDE) as a book for an overview of the city, and then use this book for figuring out dinner and nightlife recommendations. If you're going to be spending more than a week in Rio, this is a fantastic resource to get started with.

I love Lonely Planet books. It's really the only thing I trust when it comes to traveling. I used this book to navigate my way around Rio last month and I was very happy to have it. The only thing it did not help with was navigating public transit. You'll have to find a friendly local to help you with that! Although while on the bus we were able to follow the maps in the book pretty well to know where we were.
