Great tour book

I have relied on Fodor's guide books many times to guide us through foreign countries (Japan, Thailand, Spain to name a few). This guide book proved to be indispensable while wandering the streets of Portugal, searching for the new landmark to see. I would have to say that Portugal is not as tourist friendly as other countries - not in terms of the people (who are very friendly), but in terms of signage that would direct us to landmarks, transportation hubs and tourist information offices. It would have been nice to have a detailed map of the city of Porto (which this book lacks), one of the main tourist destinations. We wandered far and long, trying to find the tourist information office so that we could have a map. I would also suggest getting Rick Steves' Portugal (Rick Steves). Between the two guide books, you'll have enough information to get around this beautiful country.

Go to Portugal...you will like it..

Went to Portugal and this book will help you with your traveling plans. There is a lot to see and usually little time...so this will help you plan your trip so you can see more.
