Customer Reviews

Great for Western Europe

Good for hitting the highlights. Some of the recommendations to restaurants are pricey. Not "Europe", it's Western Europe. Doesn't really hit Eastern Europe too much. All in all, decent.

Frommer's Europe--Missing Poland

I purchased this book because of a cruise I will be taking in the fall. I was looking for background on all the countries I would visit in Europe. This book has nothing on Poland--only listed on the map. Otherwise I felt there was a lot of excellent information.

Research country, cities and important sites

Good and useful maps, info on cities and must see sites as well as out of town places to visit if time permits, including how to get there. Good tips on the arts, music, food, transportation. A must read before leaving on the trip.

Very good for planning

This guide is as deep as a guide about the whole Europe can be. It presents many tips and brief information about the countries, like main attractions, hotels, restaurants and transport. Be careful, you won't find many eastern European countries here. If you're going to use it for planning it's excelent. You'll find web sites, prices and a rail map, but not a road map, to help you. It's a little bit heavy to carry around, and almost not illustrated. The attractions are ranked so you can imagine what worth a visit.

Essential for your European vacation

A great overview on Europe and provides the essential information on getting around, what to see, where to stay and where to eat. I've just returned from my first trip to Europe and found the information very useful, relevant and up to date. Definately pack this one!
