. Barcelona (Eyewitness Travel Guide)
City Travel Guides > Books > Barcelona
by: Roger Williams
February 01, 2008
I went to Barcelona recently, and in the planning of the trip I consulted four guide books:
Lonely Planet's Barcelona City Guide
Dorling Kindersley Eyewitness Barcelona and Catalonia
Cadogan Guides Barcelona (Dana Facaros and Michael Pauls)
Time Out Barcelona
All of them were good. I took two with me: Lonely Planet and Eyewitness.
The reasons I chose those two:
Eyewitness unfailingly has a good quality map, which in my view is LP's downfall. Eyewitness always includes a Street Finder Index which LP does not, and LP often misses out on streets other than the major ones, which can be very frustrating, especially in a city like Barca where there are many alleyways. I never use Eyewitness ... Read More:

. Barcelona (Lonely Planet City Guides)
City Travel Guides > Books > Barcelona
by: Damien Simonis
October 01, 2006
After the low point of my relationship with Lonely Planet (Montréal and Québec City), I was pleased to have my faith restored in the imprint with this excellent guide.
As you'd expect, author Damien Simonis sings the city's praises, but it's never over the top and, let's face it, how many cities can you name that can beat Barcelona? (Of the three I can think of, two are Spanish.) This is a well-measured talking up of a city that needs no talking up.
A number of elements make Barcelona for me: accessibility of live music, art, food and language.
Taking the last first, this is the only place I found Simonis indecisive, and I have to admit I'm still confused myself, but generally speaking I get away with my self ... Read More:

. Barcelona (Eyewitness Pocket Map & Guide)
City Travel Guides > Books > Barcelona
from: Dorling Kindersley Publishers Ltd
February 01, 2008
I foind this Rough Guide and very informative just like the previous guide books I have used in the past. It has the top 20 places to visit and it is clearly laid out.
The information about the places I visited was very informative
and helpful. I attempted to speak in Spanish and I found the phrases and words useful when trying to order food or ask directions.
I enjoyed reading the history of the area, Catalan and I would recommend the book to friends.
Although the book was published 2 years ago some of the information was not correct but that should not be a problem.

. Barcelona (Panther)
City Travel Guides > Books > Barcelona
by: Robert Hughes
January 25, 2001
This lengthy volume details the history of Barcelona from its Roman beginnings right through to the start of the Spanish civil war. Hughes' attention to detail and thorough research makes this the definitive book about Barcelona and an essential must-read for those with an interest in the city. As someone who has lived in Barcelona for a year, I read this hoping to learn more about my home city. I was not disappointed, and felt like this book thoroughly covered all aspects of Barcelona's immense and fascinating history. However, I felt the book could have been shorter and was probably too long and intense for a casual tourist. Occasionally there is information overload, with Hughes citing numerous dates and names that detract from the readability of the book. His ... Read More:

. Barcelona (Rough Guide DIRECTIONS)
City Travel Guides > Books > Barcelona
by: Jules Brown
June 02, 2008
Directions guides are slim and pocketable (literally - I kept mine in the back pocket of my jeans as I was walking around - they are that small), and therefore ideal for browsing on the move.
The information is basic and to the point. The book spends as much time on cafes, restaurants and bars as it does on the sights. If you are spending more than a long weekend in Barcelona it is a good idea to combine this with another guide, such as the more detailed and pictorial DK guide. The Directions guide is short on pictures and doesn't cover all of the minor sites.
The `Best of Barcelona' (I'm paraphrasing) section at the beginning is a particularly good feature (and the one area of the book rich in colour and pictures). This section lists the very ... Read More:
