.Master Atlas of Greater London (Street Maps & Atlases)
City Travel Guides > Books > Europe
by: Geographers' A-Z Map Company

October 30, 2006
While I have used this on rare car journeys into the capital, I value it mainly as a reference work and it sits on my bookshelf. I am very lucky as it includes Sevenoaks, where I live, as well - perhaps more to do with a kink in the M25 than the city boundary.

With its excellent mapping at 3.3 inches to the mile - 9 inches to the mile for the centre - as well as planning maps of various sizes, it really is difficult to think of what else AZ could add. Perhaps some more plans like the theatres and cinema ones showing visitor attractions, and perhaps one map of the whole M25 area, unencumbered by the grid of the detail pages, for planning purposes.

I have had my current edition for 10 years and its still in great condition. ... Read More:

.Malta and Gozo (Lonely Planet Country Guide)
City Travel Guides > Books > Europe
by: Carolyn Bain

April 01, 2007
I wonder where LP will set its own limit on the destinations they cover. Being excellent and nr.1 in guidebooks of unexplored, less known or not well organized places, they also have written books about places like Malta (and The Canary Islands) where one can go easy on your own without a guidebook like this one.
About Malta there are numerous guidebooks with detailled descriptions of the places, and that is what people ever need to visit Malta. Most people will be there in some sort of package tour already anyway. Once there the locals speak english and the island is so well organized you do not need a LP to find out what to do, how to get around etc. The tourist office is also extremely well providing brochures, maps of everything you need before ...

.Paris (Lonely Planet City Guide)
City Travel Guides > Books > Europe
by: Stephen Fallon, Annabel Hart

October 01, 2006
Took my fiance to Paris recently and bought this book for the trip.
Have always been impressed when I've taken one of the Lonely Planet guides on my travels, and this book maintained the high standards that I've come to expect from them.
Doesn't matter if you know a bit about where you are visiting or if you are completely clueless - everything you could need to know is in here.
Well written, easy to use, full of useful information, and yet small enough to fit in a coat pocket.
Highly recommend.

.Batting on the Bosphorus: A Skoda-powered Cricket Tour Through Eastern Europe
City Travel Guides > Books > Europe
by: Angus Bell

June 26, 2008
This is a fantastic book even if you are not a fan of cricket! In fact if you don't understand cricket you'll find this book even funnier. Inspired by a Canadian Psychic and accompanied by a family ghost, Angus the intrepid Caledonian Cricketer sets out in his Skoda to conquer Eastern Europe armed with only an MCC coaching manual and some stumps! You'll find this a very easy to read book with plenty of images included some nice glossy colour ones (just in case your imagination can't conjure up a 5'9" Scotsman lofting a tennis ball from Europe into Asia across the river Bosphorus!).

.Madeira Bus and Touring Map
City Travel Guides > Books > Europe
by: David Brawn

August 14, 2007
I ended up with three maps of Madeira. A local free one, one from the Sunshine walking/touring guide and this one. I attempted to use this map to navigate around Funchal but the motorway junctions are not numbered and not all of them appear on the map. Navigating to Monte was a challenge since junctions 11 & 12 are missing. I would not recommend this map for driving although it may be ok for buses. One plus point though, it was the only map to indicate the old road to Curral das Freiras is closed.

.Seville and Andalusia (Eyewitness Travel Guides)
City Travel Guides > Books > Europe
from: Dorling Kindersley Publishers Ltd

February 01, 2008
My Mom and I used this book on a recent visit to Seville. Using the detailed maps we were able to navigate even the tiniest roads in the old town. I was continually surprised when I would say, "on the next corner is the [whatever we wanted to find]" and it was always there. That's a great recommendation!

With the beautiful pictures and good basic summaries of things to see and do, we were able to choose exactly how to spend our time - and we weren't lead astray.

Restaurant recommendations were also very fair and accurate - and we dined superbly.

I now always check to see if there's an Eyewitness Guide for somewhere I'm traveling.

.Hadrian's Wall Path (National Trail Guides) (National Trail Guides)
City Travel Guides > Books > Europe
by: Anthony Burton

April 25, 2007
There are other books on walking Hadrian's Wall, but for me this is easily the best in just about every area. Whilst I'll always be open to new publications, in 2008 this is the only guide you will need to walk the wall safely, and that will give you you accurate and precise historical information on the way.

It ticks all the boxes. From a practical view it is compact and won't fall apart at the sight of the first shower - of which you may encounter several. You can use it to walk the wall in sections or in one hit. It describes the route very accurately, and allows enough space for a good depth of historical information. Hard to beat.
