Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Not as good as other Rough Guidesbut I couldn't find anything better for Switzerland. I love Rough Guides but I was frankly disappointed with the Switzerland book. It was just missing some of the essentials that others books had like where is a laundry or internet cafe and marking that on the map rather than just giving an address. And the accommodation suggestions were not as useful as in other RGs. And there is less information of interest i.e. local facts, anecdotes and history. Hopefully, RG will address these in the next edition. I do note that Lonely Planet book was not good either and both are a bit out of date published 2003 / 4. But, it got me around Switzerland in one piece and I will still be buying RGs. Read More: Rating:  - Excellent guide!Have had it for several years now. Used it on both trips to Switzerland. Extreamly helpful. Offers a lot of additional background information, legends, stories, histories, etc. They are a joy to read. I found there aren't so many maps, especially for small towns, can be a bit difficult to orientate sometimes. So took a star off. Overall, an excellent guide! You won't need any other guides to travel to Switzerland. Rating: - A Good Book for BeginnersIf you have know other books on Switzerland then quite possible yuo won't need to buy anymore, very good facts and also maps, handy size. I bought Austria & Switzerland from the same series... Rating:  - The best oneThis is the best guide which I can find in bookstores. Rating: - Good for those on a budgetI would recommend this book to anybody on a budget. We stayed in both Geneva and Zurich and found that we got to see a lot more than we would have without the R.G. The book doesn't concentrate on expensive art galleries and opera houses. Instead you get to find out about real places. How else could we have seen the "Smurf’s village" in Geneva - actually a group of bizarrely designed modern buildings! In addition, reading about the history, the culture and the people you visit add greatly to your holiday. To get the most out of your holiday, I would definitely recommend this Rough Guide book. |
