Rick Steves does a great job of giving you an overview of various European cities. I am definitely bringing this along with me on my trip, but I would also suggest doing some cross research on other websites to check on reviews of hotels and restaurants (like trip advisor).

Rick Stevens actually wrote a pretty descent book, but to get the full experience you'll have to take the same trip as he made. I went on a interrail this summer (summer '09) and we did not follow his tracks. Therefore we couldn't really use the book which really disapointed me. I was hopping it had a short introduction to the major cities in ALL of europe. It does not have that. However, when you actually get to a city he been to you will find that he has a lot of good advices and then it might be the best book ever. If you are planning on following his footsteps through europe, then this is a 5 stars book, but if you do not, then this does not deserve any stars. Therefore I give it three stars.

I have purchased and used a lot of Rick's books and like all of them, this is better than most of the other travel books available.

I love anything Rick Steves writes. This is a helpful book for those wanting a quick overview of art and Europe. I like his sense of humor!

Everything I had hoped for and more. Clear suggestions with easy to understand reasons for including it.

It appeared that seller sent the book one day after I ordered but it took 3 weeks to receive the book (very frustating). Book received brand new and as advertised. Would give a 5-star if received in 1 week.

I have purchase this guide book before our family trip to Europe and was reading it before we left. It has some helpful information, but since I am originally from Europe myself I just ended up getting free tourist maps and walking around on my own.
