3.0 out of 5 stars Good General Information, February 21, 2001

By A Customer

Although this book does not provide specific prices for restaurants and hotels (like the Frommer's guides do), it still provides a good overview of the different regions of Switzerland. It does not cover a great many of the hotels available in some towns (for one town, I easily found 15 hotels on-line, but the book only covered 2). Also, it tends to suggest the highest priced restaurants & hotels -- not good for someone on a budget.

Overall, however, the book has helped me plan what I hope is a great itinerary for our trip this summmer. If I had to give it a thumbs up or a thumbs down, I'd say thumbs up.

2.0 out of 5 stars Better Things Available, January 31, 2001

By	Tierney Barnes (Atlanta, GA USA) - See all my reviews

I bought this book for my upcoming trip to Switzerland. I also had the Frommer's Italy 2001 book to compare. The Fodor's book is hard to follow and is not very informative. Frommer's has a much more user friendly way of presenting the material, is more detailed, and provides better ideas for the typical tourist and those who want to do things differently. Frommer's also included better maps and better advice. I could go on. Do yourself a favor and by Frommer's Switzerland (I did) or some other book. Just not this one (I was being nice by giving it a 2).
