5.0 out of 5 stars Take This Book with You, September 21, 2002

By	S. Barrett (Santa Cruz, CA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Eyewitness Travel Guide to Great Places to Stay in Europe (Paperback)

Another wonderful travel guide from Dorling Kindersley, this one covering accommodations in fifteen European countries Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Ireland, Great Britain, the Netherlands, Belgium and Luxembourg, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, France, Portugal, Spain, Italy, and Greece.

Great Places to Stay in Europe entices readers with stunning double-page photos prefacing each country introduction, which is an overview of the different types of accommodations, highlights of some of the most interesting places to see, food and drink suggestions, bedrooms and bathroom arrangements, and pertinent practical information such as tipping, telephoning, and currency.

Country sections are easy to spot: each is identified by its own colored thumb tab, and favorite places to stay are designated with a photo, while short entries offer excellent amenities but are rated slightly lower. Nonetheless, they are still "great places to stay." Photo listings have a description of the premises, telephone number and address, email address, map location, number of rooms, and other amenities, all designated by a symbol for easy usage. Price bands and a country map are also included as is a comprehensive index of hotels listed by name and by area. (Check for prices in Euros.)

As with DK's Eyewitness Travel Guides, Great Places to Stay in Europe is an ideal size for travel. Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Eyewitness Travel Italy, April 16, 2000

By	Allan Hoffman CTC, DS (Ponte Vedra, Florida) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Eyewitness Travel Guide to Great Places to Stay in Europe (Paperback)

One of the most complete and focused guide books written on Italy. Detailed descriptions and guides to sightseeing, hotels and restaurants, certainly something no traveler should be without. Clearly and thoughtfully written descriptions allow the reader to picture their vacation and plan accordingly.

5.0 out of 5 stars Follow the hotels to travel!, November 24, 2000

By	foofoo (Hong Kong, China) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Eyewitness Travel Guide to Great Places to Stay in Europe (Paperback)

It's such a great book! I followed what the book recommands in a couple of cities when I travelled Spain & Portugal in October 2000 and gradually built my trust on the book. All are great choices. Hints: Those with pictures are better than those without.
