5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book, but..., October 14, 2005
By Paul L (California, USA) - See all my reviews
I am giving this book 5 stars because I think it does an excellent job covering the city of Amsterdam. The illustrations are fantastic, the tips are helpful, all of the major points of interest are covered (and then some) and it is up-to-date. I'm a big fan of the Eyewitness travel guides, and this book certainly won't come as a disappointment to those who are familiar with their books.

However, be warned that this book isn't much more than a subset of "Eyewitness Holland". If you already own their book on Holland, you don't need this because everything that's included in this book is in the Holland book. The pages may be mixed up a bit, but don't be fooled - I went through both books side-by-side and it's pretty much identical. Unless you plan on staying exclusively in Amsterdam (why?), I would suggest going with the 'Holland' book for a few bucks more. But whatever you do, don't buy both as I did!

5.0 out of 5 stars Compact and helpful, August 16, 2007
By wiredweird "wiredweird" (Earth, or somewhere nearby) - See all my reviews
(TOP 100 REVIEWER)   
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This book offers worthwhile information to a range of different readers. The first pages, "Four great days," offer itineraries for art lovers, shopping fans, history buffs, or families with kids to please. I don't think anyone will stop there, but I imagine many readers starting with those day-trips and filling in the edges.

The rest of the book presents the city in lush photography, legible maps, and clearly organized descriptions. The part of the book (about two thirds) divides Amsterdam into seven geographical districts. For each, the reader gets a bit of history and general layout, followed by detailed descriptions of many attractions. The remainder of the book talks about out-of-town points of interest and general information about food, culture, and other helpful travel information.

I'm going to Amsterdam soon on business, and have just a little time to enjoy this amazing city. This guide has been very helpful in planning those scraps of free time. Maybe this book won't meet every traveler's needs, but it meets mine.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amsterdam (Eyewitness Travel Guides) PERFECT!, October 19, 2007
By Florence E. Dodson "2d" (Santa Rosa, CA USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
We are now using the Eyewitness Travel Guides exclusively. We no longer need info about hotels, restaurants, etc., as we log on to Fodor's Travel to get the latest inside info from the Talk site. What we are looking for in a travel guide is inspiration, history and a sense of the country/city we will be visiting--we get all of that from Eyewitness Travel. We are now finishing the plans for our spring trip to Europe. The Amsterdam guide provides just what we need--lovely pictures to inspire us; practical info for visiting the city; history of the city to bring it to life. All this makes this guide just perfect for us.

2.0 out of 5 stars Ok I guess
Although Eyewitness Travel Guides may offer more visual guidance than other guide books, they are still quite terrible. Maps are difficult to read and information is inconsistent.
