 A good general book on Switzerland August 9, 2007
3 out of 4 found this review helpful
As usual, Rick Steves provides solid suggestions for restaurants, hotels, and sights, and much of his information is dependable. I was disappointed, however, by his rather condescending attitude toward Zurich, where I recently spent a week on business. The city is lovely, and there are a lot of inexpensive options that don't involve spending a lot of money in this generally pricey city. One of the "must visit" restaurants he recommended turned out to be mediocre and very expensive and he has very little on the Kunsthaus, one of the best museums in Europe. If you want a book with a more balanced view of Switzerland, I recommend Frommer's or Lonely Planet.

Just got back from Lausanne where we used "Rick" aka "The Bible" alongside Lonely Planet. Rick's information was more accurate and complete. It's great to have more than one guidebook but if you only want to carry one, choose this. The only downside is that the city maps are not drawn to scale and are very hard to follow.

The first question: Where are the pictures? As a born Swiss (living in the U.S.A.) I read it anyway. It's a lot text about (almost) everything and it's also a "Price List CH 2007". Probably you'll find this book in your library, that's for free . . . .

Great book! I love Rick's books. Use them for every European trip. This one is more in depth than Best of Europe 2007. Don't read this one if you're on a quick trip, unless you've been before! I recommend Best of for a quick trip.
Just as expected. March 31, 2007
