.Time Out Book of Country Walks: 52 Walks Within Easy Reach of London: 1 (Time Out Guides): 52 Walks Within Easy Reach of London: 1
City Travel Guides > Books > Europe
by: Christopher Sommerville

September 01, 2005
We have done several walks in the book and have enjoyed them all. The instructions are clear (and updates are posted on the website), and all the information you need is in there. There are great tips on where to have lunch and this often turns into the real highlight of any walk (that long awaited glass of cider on a hot summer's day in the garden of a country pub) ...

If you like walking and exploring the glorious English countryside, this is the book you need to inspire you and take you away from the London smog!

.Rome (Eyewitness Top 10 Travel Guide)
City Travel Guides > Books > Europe
by: Reid Bramblett, Jeffrey Kennedy

February 01, 2008
As usual an excellent publication Eyewitness.Very comprehensive coverage by area in alphabetical order.
Maps clear an concise especially with the enlarged section which is useful for walking about especially as it has a fold over book mark.
Found the two part maps of the Forum East/west difficult to use as you tend to visit it in one go.
When you use the Palatine map unless you enter by there suggested entrance it is quite hard to relocate
I would definately buy one but i linked mine with an OXford Archaeological Guide by Amanda Claridge.
Ate at some of the retaurants in the guide they were reliable,checked off some of the hotels it suggested but contacted hotels own websites for better deals.

.Mallorca (AA Island Maps)
City Travel Guides > Books > Europe
from: Automobile Association

June 15, 2003
I've just bought this map (June 2008) for a trip next month and was pleased to see it's been brought up to date (it's copyright 2007). The motorway extends up to just short of Alcudia.

We had no probs with it, but didn't tour extensively to be fair. The only problem I had was with it's sheer size. It's certainly not cut out for a front seat passenger to peruse as you drive along! The islands split in to half, one half one side, one the other, and when opened out to it's extreme, it pretty much covered our Focus's windscreen! It would have been preferable to have had the whole island on one side, and some more detailed town maps, and a basic island map, on the other, however, the main thing, is it's up to date

.Speak the Culture: France: Be Fluent in French Life and Culture (Speak the Culture)
City Travel Guides > Books > Europe
by: Andrew Whittaker

October 15, 2007
Whoever dreamed up the idea of turning the tired old guidebook format on its head like this should be congratulated.

Want a single volume that explains French culture, history, regional quirks, pride and resentments, manners and well just about everything in a single accessible volume? It doesn't sound possible but this book pulls it off with real panache. I couldn't find a dull page.

Also well worth a mention are some delightful and often very witty illustrations and cartoons throughout.

.Amsterdam: The Ultimate Pocket Guide and Map (Lonely Planet Best of ...)
City Travel Guides > Books > Europe
by: Terry Carter, Lara Dunston

January 01, 2007
The main city map was perfect, we ripped the cover off and took it everywhere with us. Simple to use and fairly concise in terms of the info about each entry. Nicely divided into sections for shops, food, highlights etc. Gave some nice ideas for walking tours. I personally would recommend this one over most others for its ease of use and simple entries.

.Eastern Europe (Lonely Planet Multi Country Guide)
City Travel Guides > Books > Europe
by: Tom Masters

February 01, 2007
Having just spent 3 weeks in Romania, Macedonia & Albania - this guide was a true travel companion.

Having used the 2005 version of this guide to travel around Serbia, Montenegro, Bosnia & Croatia in March 2006 - this one was much more useful and the writers had gone to great pains to make everything accurate (unlike their Western Balkans guide which was awash with misinformation and inaccuracies, normally regarding telephone numbers etc)

Having also brought the Bradt Albania guide with us (thank god we never relied on this as their pricing information for accommodation was grossly out of date & there was a real laziness in updating vital information) the Lonely Planet was the one that got grubbiest from continual ... Read More:

.Cyprus (Lonely Planet Country Guide)
City Travel Guides > Books > Europe
by: Vesna Maric

June 01, 2006
Before I bought this book there were loads of other customer reviews (don't know why there are none today) with varied opinions - quite a few negative ones, so I ended up buying the Eyewitness Travel guide and the AA spiral guide instead. Whilst the Eyewitness book is lovely to look at having so many colour photos and th AA book is a handy size, I have to say that I ended up buying the Lonely Planet guide as well as it has far more detailed information about the island eg history, costs, restaurants, just everything really. It is written by someone who has tried and tested all that the island has to offer and its detailed reviews entice you to go and try for yourself. It really is a far more superior guide, though admittedly not so attractive to look at.
