This review is from: Lonely Planet Rio de Janeiro (Lonely Planet Rio de Janerio) (Paperback)

Before going on my trip to Rio, I decided to purchase 3 guide books rather than relying on just one. And what a great decision that was! Had I relied on just Lonely Planet's Rio guide, I would have been as hopeless as a lost puppy. Most of the information in this book are outdated or plain incorrect. Important areas such as music, nightlife, etc. were neglected and many recommendations such as those for lodging & dining were off. My suggestion is that one should definitely look for alternatives to this guide as my copy is awaiting a more useful future near a recycling plant on outskirts of Rio.

Of the 3 guides that I purchased, I found Rio for Parties the most useful. An excellent guide aimed for the young or the young at heart.

I dont recommend this book, most of the informations are inaccurated. Rio has an extensive options that are not described on that book. Unfortunately I have spent three days to discover an excelent visual travel guide called Rio for Partiers. Expensive than Lonely Planet, it's true, but all the informations you have to know is there. By The Way I could save a lot of money using the discounts and bonuses!
