.A Pilgrim's Guide to the Camino de Santiago: The Way of St. James (Camino Guides)
City Travel Guides > Books > Europe
by: John Brierley

January 01, 2006
I am planning to walk the Camino de Santiago next May and found this guide to be outstanding. It is light enough to add to my 20 pound pack. The only addition that I would like is an honest description of the refugerios so that I know ahead of time what to expect. I would highly recommend this guide.

.The London Mapguide, 5th Edition
City Travel Guides > Books > Europe
by: Michael Middleditch

September 01, 2006
We've visited London more than 20 times over the last 10 years to visit family, and we still use the millenium edition we picked up in 1999 at a shop down in Soho. We take it out with us every day, and use it constantly. We always browse the guide books for new ideas when visiting, but when it comes to getting around the city with ease every day we resort to this book. The bus lnes and tube stations are clearly marked, the landmarks are useful, and we can always figure out how to get from place to place with ease. It's just the right size to carry, we find the A-Z is either too small to read or to thick to carry, and this guidebook has just enough extra info to make it more useful anyway. We just keep the book in London along with our Oyster ... Read More:

.Osterie & Locande d'Italia: A Guide to Traditional Places to Eat and Stay in Italy
City Travel Guides > Books > Europe
from: Slow Food

April 04, 2007
This is an excellent and informative book. I was however quite surprised that Checchino, which I believe has 1 Michelin star and is possibly the best known restaurant in Rome, doesn't rate a mention, especially as it certainly fits the Slow Food motives.

.Rome: An Oxford Archaeological Guide (Oxford Archaeological Guides)
City Travel Guides > Books > Europe
by: Amanda Claridge

June 25, 1998
I took this book, along with a plethora of touristy guidebooks, and this one got read the most! We spent hours and hours in the Forum and the Palatine, and really delighted in uncovering the mysteries of so many building foundations. I left Rome wishing I had an archaeologist as a personal tour guide, but this book was an excellent substitution! It can be read at home, but I found infinitely more meaning when I sat at the site and read about where I was. Take this to Rome if you are interested in the ancients!

.Greek Island Hopping 2008: "The Island Hopper's Bible" (Greek Island Hopping)
City Travel Guides > Books > Europe
by: Frewin Poffley

January 01, 2008
This is a tremendously useful book. It's even the book we dragged around the sites in Athens with us, while the ones with lovely pictures, specifically for Athens, stayed back in our hotel room.

.Michelin France: Provence/Alpes/Cote d'Azur (Michelin Maps)
City Travel Guides > Books > Europe
from: Michelin Travel Publications

January 31, 2006
Our family recently spent a week touring Provence in a rental car. This map was absolutely invaluable to us - all roads from the large autoroutes to the more rural "departmental" roads are clearly indicated. The mileage/travel time chart was also extremely helpful in planning our day trips. We had several maps with us, but by the end of the second day this was the only one we used.

.Rick Steves' Provence and the French Riviera 2008 (Rick Steves)
City Travel Guides > Books > Europe
by: Rick Steves, Steve Smith

September 28, 2007
This is the second Rick Steves book I have taken to Europe. This trip took me to Nice and the French Riviera, and with this travel book it made the trip stress free. Two tips from the guide book were taking the public bus trip from Nice to Menton and traveling inland to the French Grand Canyon. We took the bus trip on Sunday, which only cost us one euro per person for an hour and 15 minute trip, in a clean, comfortable bus and my boyfriend was able to enjoy the views since he didn't have to drive. The second item from the guide book was a trip inland to the French Grand Canyon. What a beautiful ride and the views were spectacular. Worth the trip - but only would have know about it with the guide book.

Very pretty photos which give you a good idea of Provence but instead of so many photos I wish there were more listings of hotels and restaurants. I found the information a little too spare and bought a different guide book instead.

.Walk in a Relaxed Manner: Life Lessons from the Camino
City Travel Guides > Books > Europe
by: Joyce Rupp

October 31, 2005
Reflections of this Catholic sister, as she walks the Camino with the semi retired priest of her parish.

This journey of two people of faith met with all the challenges the Camino can offer. Joyce started out as what I call an overachiever, and Tom as a steadying influence.

A couple concepts stuck in my brain from chapters of this book. Enjoy existential friendships. Return a positive for a negative. Negative things do happen, but Joyce would make a determined effort to see the positive - a concept I accept, but sometimes have difficulty applying.

I enjoyed this thoughtful book.
