 Rick Steves' is the Best!!!!!!!!!!!! July 23, 2007
Loved this book. I dragged this book all over Europe for 31 days. Wow, this book is the bomb. It led me to many jewels in many countries and it helped me find train stations, find my bearings when lost in Switzerland, led me through Vatican when in Italy. I was so impressed. I swear by this book! Its the best.

Great book! I love Rick's books. Use them for every European trip. This one is a wonderful overview to really get the Best of Europe. Especially if it's your first trip. Don't miss Rothenburg and Hallstatt!
5 Stars for 2 months of European Travel June 22, 2007
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I traveled in Europe for about 2 months. This book was my main guide book. I also used Eyewitness Europe. This book is excellent because it covers traveling to and from the city, city transportation, the sights in the city (and they are rated so you have an idea of which ones are worth your time,) entrance fees, and any special discount passes that you might benefit from.
The only thing I want to warn you about is the cities the book covers. He covers the major cities in each country, but make sure that the book covers enough of the cities you are going to visit before buying it. Ex: Doesn't cover Munich, Innsbruck, Hanover, anything outside of Prague in Czech Republic. These are just a few examples. For us it was perfect because it was our first trip to Europe and we wanted to see the main sights and cities.
Best guide I have reviewed ever May 8, 2007
I have been planning a family trip to Europe for a long time, after reviewing this guide, I adjusted all my travel schedule as well as Hotel reservations. It is very well organized and has great tips.
Very detailed. Highly informative. Offers opinions rare in other publications April 10, 2007

Steves take the time to not only provide details of destinations, but also gives the reader rankings of Countries and Cities to visit first plus he ranks the sites within the country. EXACTLY what a first time visitor needs. I will combine his recommendations with those of friends and family. Of course, I will be sure to read at least two other sources before developing a game plan for our first trip to Europe. I grow tired of fru-fru books that say everything is great and every city is great. Steves sticks his neck out with opinions and details to back up those opinions. I have every reason to believe that all of the more specific guides will be similar. I HAVE ALREADY SUBSTANTIALLY CHANGED MY OPINIONS OF WHERE WE WILL GO ON THE FIRST TRIP. Is it exactly as he recommends? NO. Not at all. We prefer the out of the way smaller uncongested cities vs Paris, Rome and London. Not for us, thanks. BUT, we have already developed an initial list to investigate based on his info of those smaller "second tier" locations that suit OUR interests. After all, it is OUR trip. But with this guide, we have saved dozens of hours of research. Highly recommend for anyone. Beat Michelin big-time
