.Spain & Portugal Planning Map: Including Barcelona, Madrid & Lisbon City Maps
City Travel Guides > Books > Portugal
by: Rick Steves

January 25, 2007
Some thoughts about Mr. Steves' largely excellent book. Highly recommended.

Pros:

* Mr. Steves provides excellent help in prioritizing your time in Spain and Portugal. I find this activity to be the hardest when planning a trip. How many days in Barcelona, how many in Madrid, etc?

* An incredibly valuable feature of the book, in my opinion, is that Mr. Steves provides a one-page listing of the primary sites in each city, ranking each site from zero to three stars based on how important it is to see each site. While I may not agree on his prioritization, the page makes for a quick checklist while you're walking or waiting for public transportation.

* Mr. Steves is particularly good at recommending out ... Read More:

There are two strong books on Portugal - my opinion - and the two books are the Eyewitness Travel (DK) guide which I personally prefer or Lonely Planet Portugal. These two books both just under 500 pages and are both tremendous efforts, very well balanced with photos, maps, history, etc. and both are clearly 5 star guides.

I would both (and DK Eyewitness Travel and Lonely Planet) head and shoulders ahead of Frommers, or Rough Guide or similar books that are less well balanced. Overall, the DK guide has better photos and visuals and makes for a better souvenir so it gets the nod as the better book.

Portugal is an old country with lots of fun things to see and do. I prefer to Algarve region but also enjoy visiting Lisbon - which can be expensive. ... Read More:

.Buying a Property: Portugal
City Travel Guides > Books > Portugal
by: Harvey Holtom, John Howell

December 01, 2003
This is a very competent work and a very useful tool for the potential buyer of property in Portugal. I like the way it is structured making it easy to find what you are looking for. It is difficult to think of something you want to know and is not there. There is an excellent section on "Settling In". The "Language" and the "References" sections are quite detailed with pratical guidance and extra sources of information. It is an excellent buy.
