This review is from: The Rough Guide to Europe 2005 (Rough Guide Travel Guides) (Paperback)
I took this guide to Europe recently. A lot of the recommendations were good, but the guide is not totally useful while on the trip. For instance, the maps that they provide always seemed to cutoff where I was staying, or don't include all of the train stations, so you don't know how to orient yourself without getting a better map. I realize that the maps focus on the more touristed parts of town, but they do not mark the recommendations on the map, so you're left with an address, and a crappy map that doesn't list streets very well. Rick Steves has the tourist area maps, but he marks his recommendations on his maps, making it much easier to actually use the guide. The Rough Guide makes a lot of good recommendations, it's not as quaint as Rick Steves, which was good for me, but Rick Steves guides are much more user friendly. Whenever we tried to find something using his guide we found it. With the Rough Guide we only found it by chance, or through looking into it on our own at a tourist offfice.
