As always, a geat guide series in any Euripean country. Best of all is its reputation (deserved) for objectivity of its reviwers. It's true!

.Michelin Red Guide 2008 London: Restaurants & Hotels (Michelin Red Guide: London)
City Travel Guides > Books > Michelin
from: Michelin Travel Publications

2008-03
The old Michelin Red Guides, which I first used in the late '60's for Italy, had detailed, tiny local maps throughout, detailed hotel ratings, and detailed restaurant ratings. Plus the edges were rounded to slip easily into a pocket and a travel-proof cover. This was no doubt too expensive a proposition to maintain, especially as to keeping the maps current. The modern Red guide is therefore a huge disappointment by comparison. I'd rather use Zagat for restaurant ratings and Google maps to find places. I won't need another Red Guide, thank you. The Green is still without peer, however...

.Michelin the Green Guide USA East (Michelin Green Guide: USA East)
City Travel Guides > Books > Michelin
from: Michelin Travel Publications

I have been using green (and often red) Michelin guides for almost 50 years. For any area in the world they cover, they are clearly the best guide books available, with some caveats: one must have a good general education, and one must be able to read a very condensed map--skills many young Americans sadly lack. With those skills, however, as usual this new edition of the USA book is superb. Unlike almost all other travel books, Michelin offers clear value judgments, rankings, of sights. I have found over the years that I almost always agree with Michelin opinions. Because I like the series so much, and this book is very good, I give it 5 stars. Sadly, however, I don't think these books are as good as in past years. They should have more ... Read More:

.Michelin Germany: Benelux, Switzerland, Austria, Czech Republic: Tourist and Motoring Atlas (Michelin Tourist and Motoring Atlas : Germany, Austria, Benelux, Switzerland, Czech Republic (Spiral))
City Travel Guides > Books > Michelin
from: Michelin Travel Publications

This atlas is a great value at $16.32, but it suffers from very bad design. Here are the design failures I've experienced:

* This is actually five separate atlases jammed together into one book. Each of the five has its own scale, its own index, and--unfathomably--it's own LEGEND. The legend for Germany is different from the legend for Belgium. There are more than SIXTEEN PAGES of legends--eleven at the front, five scattered through the indexes, plus "special symbols" identified on pages XXII and XXIII.

* The only broad-scale map showing all of the atlas's area doesn't show a single road. There is no all-encompassing map connecting the roads across the five independent maps. If you're driving from one country to another, ... Read More:

.Michelin the Green Guide Portugal (Michelin Green Guides)
City Travel Guides > Books > Michelin
from: Michelin Travel Publications

Anyone visiting Portugal as a tourist will need this guide, far and away the most detailed and informative of available guidebooks. You will need the Michelin red guide (which also covers Spain) for Hotels and Restaurants although a few are mentioned here for each city. Pictures are nice and the format is convenient. Green guides are much improved over the old ones that were too densely printed and hard to read.
