which Europe guidebook is the best?
It's a matter of which guide best serves your area(s) of interest.
Personally I prefer Lonely Planet. Worst Guide book series - again IMHO is Let's Go!!! "Tom Johnstone" wrote in message ... "abdul rahim" wrote in message om... among let's go, lonely planet, and rough cut, which one is the best and why? A matter of preference of course, but I would avoid Let's Go. When I was backpacking around Europe I could tell in about 10 minutes of conversation whether someone else was following thr Let's Go guide, and then I could usually predict where they were going next (" so... you're going to catch the night train to Rome tomorrow at 5pm then?..."). So unless you're up for the ABC* tour, I'd use one of the other guides - but only as a source of useful information - not as a recipe. The unexpected moments and places are what will make the trip memorable. Tom * Another Bloody Cathedral... |

Or go to your local library and check out a range of different guides, and read them to see which ones you are most comfortable with. If you're not going for a terribly long time, and the most up-to-date guide is available for borrowing- take *that* on your trip! Even the largest overdue fee is less than buying the actual guide! ^_~ -- Widya Santoso +61 2 6288-0405 The woods are lovely, dark and deep, But I have promises to keep And miles to go before I sleep, And miles to go before I sleep -- Stopping by woods on a Snowy Evening - Robert Frost |

which Europe guidebook is the best?
no guide is THE best. You need to think about what your own requirements
are. I would not choose any of those for a driving trip, for example. I suggest you choose the same city in each guide and compare them. See which discusses what you're interested in best. Also, consider you have to carry the thing with you, so heavy glossy paper with floor plans of museums that you don't need are probably not worth the weight. That said, I still like Michelin.

I tear out the sections I don't need before I leave home.

I tear out the sections I DO need and staple them and put them in a zip lock bag. In rec.travel.europe Mike Cordelli wrote: I tear out the sections I don't need before I leave home.
