5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent guide - brief info about everything, many photos,
By Jagoda Urban-Klaehn "PolishSite Host at: http... (Idaho Falls, ID USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Warsaw (Eyewitness Travel Guides) (Paperback)
It is hard to believe that the authors could store so much information about Warsaw and Poland is such a small and practical book size format. It is really amazing book - all you need to know about Warsaw - first, brief information followed by more detailed area by area guide with wonderful maps and pictures. Every important object is explained on two consecutive sites. For instance the guide about St. John Cathedral contains the schematic picture of the church in the center stretched over left and right page. Additionally some historic and art objects which are located inside the church are showed and explained with the arrows pointing to the part of the church where they can be found.
Each section is marked with different color which makes it so easy to find. At the end - it has a survival guide - hotels, food place, drinks (with pictures of different types of vodka and beer), communication and travel, entertainment. Just keep it all the time with you while in Warsaw and you would be never lost! Updated with every edition.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Outstanding guide to Warsaw,
By AcornMan (Denver, CO) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Warsaw (Eyewitness Travel Guides) (Paperback)
There's a lot to do and see in Warsaw, and this book does a great job of informing visitors about this wonderful city. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is that it needs a bigger map (or at least more maps showing outlying areas). The maps included in the book are great, but it would be nice to get a bigger picture of the city because not everything is centrally located. I took this book with me everywhere I went in Warsaw and it was an immense help when it came to finding important sites and identifying ones I came across while walking around. And as always, the photos in this DK publication are outstanding. This is the only travel guide you need if you're going to be visiting Warsaw, though it would be a good idea to find a full-sized map once you get there.

Good bones but needs updating,

This review is from: Warsaw (Eyewitness Travel Guides) (Paperback)
I just spent 4 days in Warsaw with this book as my main guide. Although the book is exhaustive, and takes you in directions that you might not think about and is therefore worthwhile, it woefully needs updating. Poland is a country which changes minute-to-minute, and this book, published in 2003, leads you down many restaurant and hotel roads which are dead ends. And when you need to get to the airport its maps are no help.
However, the format, the photos, and the walks are excellent. There seems to be no current guidebook which can supercede this one, so it is the best choice out there.
