5.0 out of 5 stars
Love all Rick Steve's books - this one was great as well,
By
This review is from: Rick Steves' Portugal 2006 (Paperback)
We always travel with two books for each destination and Rick Steves is always the book we use most for food, attractions, and city walks. Great writing style and very rarely out of date information.

Portugal explained in detail!,
By Stardust "Stardust" (Massachusetts) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Rick Steves' Portugal 2006 (Paperback)
If you are looking for a great, informative guide to the ins and outs of the country of Portugal, this book is for you! It has awesome insider tips on where to stay, eat, climate, costs...all updated annually...it even includes phone numbers of places to stay and whether or not they speak English...provides emails and websites and so much more!
My only complaint is that I would have liked more photos! Overall, an excellent guide!

This review is from: Rick Steves' Portugal 2006 (Paperback)
Rick Steves does it again. Great recommendations. The only quibble (why not a 5) is that Rick is so selective that he does not include places, such as Tomar, that may be off the beaten path but really do deserve a mention, if not a strong encouragement to visit. If you buy this book, or even if you don't, look at his website where there are updates and a "chat room" that help you plan a visit.
