I have used the Eyewitness guides for several other countries. The Alaska guide has the same beautiful color pictures but the city & tour info was nat as complete as some of the other guides. I ended up borrowing a Fodor's guide from a friendFodor's Alaska 2007 (Fodor's Gold Guides)

I bought both this and lonely planet and have used lonely planet more because this book is full of pictures but doesn't give you all the info you need. Also, I ended up buying each indiv city guide as well because this one only scratches the surface!

.Brussels (EYEWITNESS TRAVEL GUIDE)
City Travel Guides > Books > Eyewitness
by: DK Publishing

January 15, 2007
We recently took a trip to Belgium, where we intended to visit Brugge, Antwerp, and Brussels, although in the end, we dropped Antwerp in favor of spending more time in Brugge. I bought a copy of this book on the advice that it had a lot of coverage beyond Brussels.

Like most EyeWitness guides, the photos, sketched 3D area maps, etc. were all brilliant for identifying points of interest and notable details. The suggested walking tours also proved to be a great resource, since these cities are best visited simply by wandering the streets rather than heading straight for key destinations.

My only qualm with the book is that (as the title suggests) it is heavy on Brussels. This was a little disappointing, having heard that it included ... Read More:

.Stockholm (Eyewitness Travel Guides)
City Travel Guides > Books > Eyewitness
by: DK Publishing

January 15, 2007
I usually don't like these glossy, visual travel guides: I prefer those thick guides with too many pages, full of historical and cultural contexts.

This book is an exception to my general rule. DK Publishing has done a really good job of presenting this beautiful city in stunning color photography, good maps, and enough words to present the city completely and accurately. A visual guide to Stockholm makes sense because Stockholm is such a visually appealing city. It works. The aerial photograph of Gamla Stan that opens the catalog chapters of this guide will just blow your hair back!

Obviously, those readers and travelers who enjoy art and architecture will also enjoy this book.

The coverage is good, with chapters dedicated to Gamla ... Read More:

.Top 10 Malta and Gozo (EYEWITNESS TOP 10 TRAVEL GUIDE)
City Travel Guides > Books > Eyewitness
by: DK Publishing

February 19, 2007
Nice little guide for a short trip, well organized, but the "10" theme got a little forced at times. The Map is good, although a bit tiny. The hotels and seasonal info is a bit dated as well, but all in all for a relaxed short trip of four days or so, this is a great value guide as it hits the highlights and doesn't bog you down with detail. If you are staying longer and want more detail, then other guides are your better choice.

The pictures are excellent.

.Florida (Eyewitness Travel Guide)
City Travel Guides > Books > Eyewitness
by: DK Publishing

March 20, 2006
I've been to Florida a hundred times, but almost always to visit relatives, and so most visits were to non-descript corners. I bought this guide after hearing a frequent British visitor to the state tell me how much he loves Florida, in hopes of being able to see the place with new eyes.

These Eyewitness guides are terrific, of course, for their photos. But the writing is also first rate, and does a better job than other guides I've read of making destinations sound interesting. Finally, the series are written for non-Americans, and so have comments about the place and an orientation that American-made guides miss completely.

.Philadelphia & The Pennsylvania Dutch Country (EYEWITNESS TRAVEL GUIDE)
City Travel Guides > Books > Eyewitness
by: DK Publishing

March 19, 2007
Thinking of visiting Philadelphia and the surrounding region? This is an awfully good introduction to the area and a fine resource for visitors and tourists. Is it perfect? No. Is it helpful? Yes indeed!

The Eyewitness folks have developed a series of books termed "Eyewitness Travel" that are quite nice. This volume begins with context about the city, including comments on its history and a quick survey of some special attractions.

Next, the book focuses on Philadelphia, area by area. Old City is, of course, especially interesting, containing many sights dating back to the city's earlier era, including the Betsy Ross House, Elfreth's Alley (the oldest continually inhabited street in the United States), and Independence Hall. Another delightful fixture? ... Read More:

I gave this guide to my daughter and son-in-law who were staying in Lisbon for a week and they said it was indispensible. They used it for restaurants, sites, and shopping. She had brought other guides with her but none, she said, were as good as this one.
