This review is from: Top 10 Brussels (Eyewitness Top 10 Travel Guides) (Paperback)
I agree with a prior review---this is not a great book for budget travelers, but still, it's a nice overview for someone who's only going to be there a few days and only wants highlights.
Beware, tho. The guide says Brussels is part french, part flemish, so to be safe, just rely on english. I found 2 things. First, all language i heard was french. All shops, bars, restaurants--greeted me and spoke to me in french. The only time i heard flemish/dutch was when i overheard a few poeple on the street talking to each other. When i asked (in french) if shop keepers spoke english, they said yes, but only about half really could speak much. Second: other than the machines to buy a ticket for a tram or train, there is no English there. On some trains the electronic signs were in Flemish and French, in others, they were only in french. Nothing in English (which is contrary to what this book says). The book didnt warn of this...it gives a false sense of security for English-only speakers.

This review is from: Top 10 Brussels (EYEWITNESS TOP 10 TRAVEL GUIDE) (Paperback)
We went to Belgium unexpectedly and grabbed this book to help us navigate. The top 10 idea is good and allows for a broad range of travel tips and reviews in a very small volume. Nice pictures and layout. The things we did that were reviewed in the book, we found to be accurately rated.

This review is from: Top 10 Brussels (EYEWITNESS TOP 10 TRAVEL GUIDE) (Paperback)
I took this to Belgium with me. The book is small, so it is good size for traveling with. I like the organization of the book by category (e.g. museums, restaurants, etc.), and the suggested daily itineraries. The book is well-produced and has a lot of high-quality photos.
