NEW SERIES This new series beats out DK Eyewitness guides by emphasizing strong, graphic design while also supplying much more practical information than DK, including hundreds of hotel and restaurant reviews, how to get around and insider travel tips.
I traveled throughout Spain and France over the fall and took the Barcelona, Spain and Paris guides with me everywhere I went. None of them are too big to carry in a purse or a backpack. The history is so well-written and informative, but it's not overwhelming like other travel guides can be. There are tons of pictures and I loved that they give "city walks" for you to do. Perfect little three mile walks around the city that loop you past tons of landmarks and interesting shops and restaurants. As a student, I was on a bit of a budget and it was super helpful to have the exact prices AND hours listed with each activity. I bought the See It: Italy guide for a couple friends and they loved it. This series is seriously the best.
A great travel guide!

I spent a week in Barcelona last winter and this book was a great guide to the city. The pictures are abundant and very entertaining to look at (I still take the book out every few months and rehash some old memories). I have used Lonely Planet books in the past (When I went to Paris and London), but the "See It" series eclipses them by far.
