I bought this book prior to a two-week trip in Switzerland with the fantastic Swiss Pass which covers all public transit in the country (trains, buses, boats, gondalas). The book has a write-up on every train line in the country -- type of track, towns and sites along the way, a few places to stay, views, etc. One thing that was helpful was the recommendation on which side of the train to sit on to get the best views. In the end, it was helpful at times, but I would have done fine without carrying it around for two weeks. The Swiss train system is amazingly clear and efficient!

This book is awful! I bought it for a trip to the Alps and hoped it would help navigate our way around by train. It is broken up into regions but has very few photos and the maps are small and very hard to read. The rail system info is confusing. There seems to be a lot of unnecessary information, I would not have bought this book if I knew what the layout was like!

This is the worst travel book I've ever bought. The places reccomended were creepy and the phone numbers weren't accurate. Directions were hard/impossible to follow and the references to "tables" did not make any sense, I never did find a table in the book. Thanks God I had my Rick Steve's book to fall back on. DON'T BOTHER...

I got this book to get ready for our visit to Switzerland it has very useful and practical information.
