Steves preaches a low-cost, low-to-the-ground style that not only saves money, but gets you closer to the real Europe, the way Europeans experience it.

Product Description
Who but Rick Steves can tell you the best way to visit Etruscan caves in Central Italy's hill towns, shop for cheeses in Avignon's open-air market, or catch an accordion performance on Amsterdam's city streets? With Rick Steves' Best of Europe 2005, you can experience the best of everything Austria, Belgium, the Czech Republic, Denmark, France, Germany, Great Britain, Ireland, Italy, the Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, and Switzerland have to offer—economically and hassle-free. Completely revised and updated, this extraordinary guidebook includes color maps and photos, opinionated coverage of both famous and lesser-known sights; friendly places to eat and sleep; suggested day plans; walking tours and trip itineraries; clear instructions for smooth travel anywhere by car, train, or foot; and Rick's newest "back door" discoveries. America's number one authority on travel to Europe, Rick's time-tested recommendations for safe and enjoyable travel in Europe have been used by millions of Americans in search of their own unique travel experience.

5.0 out of 5 stars Loved it!, August 16, 2005
I spent two wks in Europe and would have been helpless/lost without this book. I had previously traveled throughout Europe with a tour company, but with the assistance of Rick Steve's guidance and personal recommendations, I enjoyed this trip the most. He gives a unique balance of history, information and individual opinion for a range of interests/financial cost. I went to many of his recommended restaurants/hotels and found his ratings very accurate. The resturant he rec's in Salzburg, Austria for duck makes the best duck I've ever had. I highly recommend to book to any traveler (I've had much lesser experiences with other travel book series).

4.0 out of 5 stars good stuff, May 31, 2005
very happy i bought this book last minute as i didn't have a guidebook for the italy and spain parts of my trip. went to Barcelona, Cinque Terre and Rome. The book saved my sanity with its directions . Generally good information. Prices were higher in some places as can be anticipated. Great guide to Roman Forum - or else i'd have no idea what i'd be looking at. I really liked the information on transportation connections. Some descriptions of locations didn't work but they were generally good. He should mention that you have to pay cover charges at restaurants at places in Spain and Italy for (as the waitpeople tell me) the bread and the table cloth. The more sophisticated French don't do this. Good on ya Rick Steves.

3.0 out of 5 stars A good overview, January 29, 2005
By Aaron Whitman (Miami, Florida USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book is a good overview on many destinations in Europe. However, it is probably a good idea to do more research on the places you plan to visit as this book never has the chance to get too in depth on any single place. It also gives you Rick Steve's singular personal opinion on subjects that may be a question of personal preference. For example,in the chapter on London, the Author clearly likes charming bed and breakfast type establishments and very small hotels and never even addresses any other types of hotels. Not a word about a hyatt, hilton or marriott. Perhaps there is not enough room to cover these subjects in such detail for every city. His detail on the sites of each city are very good with great tips on getting around each city.
