5 out of 5 stars The Bible   April 1, 2007

Well for starters ive traveled for years now breaking the 40 country mark and this book may be the best ive ever used. i do carry others that are area specific(i.e. cities etc. NK Top 10) but over all when doing multi country trips. This book is a must, it will assist you in transportation from locations to the next. And from my experience rather up todate on places to stay, currency hot spots, food vendures. The book is a backpackers bible.

I have lived in Europe and traveled just about everywhere over there. Even though I know it well I always carry guidebooks and maps when I travel. Normally I carry Michelin. I used this book for my 2006 EurailPass and Eurolines bus tour of 17 countries. "Europe on a Shoestring" is amazing. It covers more and in greater detail than any other "Europe" book. I have all of the well-known books from the well-known authors and publishers and none of them comes close.

Highlights:
Hostel DJH recommendation in Dresden.
Hotel G9 recommendation in Tallinn.
Excellent country and city maps.

The other big "Europe" books selectively cover some or most of western Europe but none do eastern Europe like this one.

If there is one book to pack this is the one.



5 out of 5 stars The best guide.   August 23, 2007

I'm going on an interrail trip next summer and this book contains everything you need to know about the European countries. The book is divided into chapters, a chapter for every country. You will find facts about the country, some history, a little about the culture, places you should visit, where you can eat, sleep and how to get there, if you need a visa or not and what kind of money you will need and much more. This book is really what you need if you are planning a trip around Europe.

My Kid (just 20) is best friends with a French Family who was stationed in town for a while. He had the opportunity to go to Europe and live with his best friends family as they traveled throughout Europe. This book and the Rick Steve's Book were very good guides as to what to wear; what to take; where to stay when family is not available; insight stuff that even the locals didn't know. Well worth the money.
