.Rick Steves' Amsterdam, Bruges and Brussels (Rick Steves)
City Travel Guides > Books > Europe
by: Rick Steves, Gene Openshaw

March 05, 2008
Having just returned from a visit to the Low Countries, we found this guide to be very helpful. Though it does not go off the beaten path, concentrating instead on the major cities, it does cover those cities well, with transportation information as well as hotel and restaurant recommendations which we found reliable. Maps show the metro stops, which is handy, and the book includes walking tours of the cities and some museums. Recommended.

.Sixty Million Frenchmen Can't Be Wrong: Why We Love France but Not the French
City Travel Guides > Books > Europe
by: Jean-Benoit Nadeau, Julie Barlow

May 01, 2003
A great book, that I bought after visiting France. Wish I had read it before our trip! It really helps explain why the French are like they are. Not rude, just having different ideas of "public" and "private" issues. Best point - make sure you say "bonjour" before asking directions!
Also, a very easy and quick read.

.France (Country Guide)

The France guide went with me a few months ago, and it was great as always. No matter what my travel destination is, I try to take a Lonely Planet guide. I like the commentary and recommendations. I trust the lodging recommendations when I want to make reservations.

.Rick Steves' Eastern Europe (Rick Steves)
City Travel Guides > Books > Europe
by: Rick Steves, Cameron Hewitt

March 06, 2008
I love this book! The style he has written the book in is so full of easy to understand information - written diary style I feel. I would choose Rick Steve's guide books over any of the other well known ones anytime in the future. Some books are full of lovely glossy colour photos and others with short pieces of information whereas this book is brim full of wonderful insights of the countries. Well worth it.

.Rick Steves' Best of Europe 2008 (Rick Steves)
City Travel Guides > Books > Europe
by: Rick Steves

August 28, 2007
Rich Steves gives the best advice you can get on travel in Europe. He was right on the money with all that he suggested as far as rooms, price and what to see. We loved this book! We took it with us to Germany, Switzerland and Denmark. While doing a walking tour of the quaint little town of Bacharach, Germany, we saw a young girl walking along with the SAME BOOK! She had the same kind of praises we had. We plan to buy the next version for our next European trip.

.Mediterranean Summer: A Season on France's Cote d'Azur and Italy's Costa Bella

by: David Shalleck, Erol Munuz

You don't have to be a sailor or chef to enjoy this book. David Shalleck firmly placed me in the galley and on the deck of this sailing yacht. I could taste the salt air and the wonderful meals he prepared. A wonderful summer read!

.Barcelona & Catalonia (Eyewitness Travel Guides)

This series just keeps me amazed!!! I have 9 books of the Eyewitness Travel Guide and it hasn't let me down just yet! This book has everything you need!! It has the maps of the Metros, helpful tips on how to save money, it has guided walks (I took them and they are fabulous!!) It has a very detailed map of the center of Barcelona with Street Finders (VEEERRYYY helpful). It has colorful pictures and the story behind them.

I went to Spain on the Easter Holiday. Spent 4 days in Madrid and 4 days in Barcelona. I had been to Madrid before, but not in Barcelona. I went there with my boyfriend and it was his first time too. With this book we covered everything and didn't leave anything important out!! We didn't need any tour guide, since ... Read More:

.Inside the Vatican (National Geographic)
City Travel Guides > Books > Europe
by: Bart Mcdowell

June 01, 2005
I bought the book because I am interested in Italian Renaissance art. In this aspect it is a little bit disappointing. There should be far more interesting art objects than is covered. It was very nice to read about the history of the Vatican, to get a feeling for every day life in the Vatican. The knowledge in this book is important to better understand the position of art in relation to the ruling popes during the Renaissance.
I very much liked the photo's. They show the real craftmanship of James Stanfield. The three star rating is because the description seems to promise more about the Renaissance art than is given.
