5.0 out of 5 stars michelin travel book on germany, March 5, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Michelin The Green Guide Germany (Michelin Green Guides) (Paperback)

The tour book is full of information, color illustrations, maps, information that many tour books are without. The book has flaps that can be used as markers. The information is excellant in comparison to frommer, fodor, and lost planet. They include history of the country, even detailed information on the smaller towns, places to stay, activities and even shopping for the female readers. I feel this is the best guide for germany.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best all around touring guide for Germany, October 14, 2000

By

"sbgantz" - See all my reviews

This review is from: Michelin the Green Guide Germany (Michelin Green Guides) (Paperback)

I often use Green Guides for their ratings, maps (country, regional, driving tours, city, town), site descriptions, historical information, ease of use, and overall accuracy. Since the quality of these guides is so consistent I do not typically feel that reviews are necessary. You always know what you're getting when you buy a Green Guide.

I am writing this review because the Germany Green Guide is particularly exceptional. Since there are no supplemental regional guides for Germany, the country guide is packed with information for all regions. This contrasts with the France and Italy country guides, which are superficial and significantly less useful than the regional guides for those countries.

Particular strengths of this book include the itineraries for driving scenic roads, such as the Moseltal, Schwarzwald Crest Road (particularly the southern parts), and the German Alpine Road. The maps highlight (and rate with stars) amazing sites along the way, including waterfalls, spectacular views and panoramas, villages, churches, museums, castles, hiking trails, etc. Required touring times are usually provided. Depending on schedule and interests you can easily plan your time.

If your visit to Germany will be limited to Berlin, Munich, and a bus tour to Neuschwanstein, then this book is overkill. But, if you want to explore more of Germany on your own then this guide is essential.

2.0 out of 5 stars OK map - but lacks detail, January 31, 2010

By

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: Michelin Map Germany 718 (Maps/Country (Michelin)) (Map)

The map is OK for a general overview of roads in Germany; however, detail is lacking. The best option is to purchase a Germany map that is specific to an area, such as Bavaria, that will show ALL the roads for the area you are traveling in. This map was most useful when used to confirm that my rental car GPS system was pointing me in the correct direction.

Probably the best option is to use this map as a backup before leaving the USA and then buy a map at a local Esso (truck stop) when in country - one that will provide better details of roads, towns.
