 Almost useless for travelling January 18, 2007

I used this book in Europe. Although I found a few good Internet cafes by using this book, finding historical places is often very difficult because there's no pictures of the buildings it refers to. Also, don't believe the prices stated for a lot of the places. It would make a world of difference, if its topics were supplemented by pictures to give a clearer understanding and find places a lot easier. The maps in this book are horrible. You can get lost by relying on them alone.

I spent 6 weeks traveling Europe this Summer with this book and Europe on a Shoestring by Lonely Planet. While both were excellent books this one was far more usefull and had countless great suggestions on places to eat, stay, and things to do. I would HIGHLY reccomend this book as one to take with you if you are backpacking through Europe.
Bundle with Party Europe October 6, 2006

This guide rocks. If you really want to have the best time of your life, buy a copy of Party Europe as well. Let's Go tells you where to stay and eat, Party Europe will tell you how to have fun. Great combination. Can't wait to head back to the old country.
 Too tight of a squeeze for all of Europe July 7, 2006

I lived in the UK for a year and did quite a bit of traveling through Europe and will do nothing but rave about the Let's Go series, however the Let's Go Europe is not what I would recommend.
Europe is a BIG place...lots to see and do and the countries are all very differnet. To try and squeeze all this into one book somewhat defeats its purpose. They do a good job of stuffing a lot of information between the cover leaving you with a really big book (which is awkward to carry around) - but at the end of the day you still end up missing stuff because, let's face it, they just can't fit it all.
I think for those looking to go to Europe, my recommendation would be to buy individual guide books for each country or major city you plan to spend any length of time in. I did this for a 10 day trip to Rome and my Let's Go Rome book was invaluable to me. I took notes in it and used a lot of the recommendations.
Buying a separate book for each country/city is a bit more expensive, but definitely worth it.
 Just take what you need April 20, 2006

The maps in the book are ok for planning a little but pick up a map from the tourist office when you get in to you next city to actualy find your way around. The book is cheap enough that i didn't care what i did to it so i just cut out the cities i was visiting and brought the pages instead of the book. Good for lightening the load. The info was mostly accurate but some prices were out of date. Especialy transit and shuttle prices in a few places, but never more than a little change. I still think i prefer my lonely planet books.
