Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I have used a number of Rick Steves' books for travel all over Europe. They are well organized, insightful, and provide hints on discounts that pay for the book many times over. I recommend his books for any destination.
The Rick Steves' series does have its limitations, though. They typically only cover tourist cities, so a business traveller will need another book. Rick Steves' is also written for the budget traveller. Lodging for the traveller more interested in comfort and less about the budget, for example, is not even reviewed. He seems to have a knee jerk reaction that paying top dollar for anything (food, hotel, 1st class travel) is never justified. His tastes are also a little eclectic and poppish, which probably appeals to a younger crowd. For example, he will consistently give high ratings to many modern art galleries that may not be apealling at all to his older audience.
Bottom line, no matter where I go in Europe, I always go with a Rick Steves' book. I just have to take one of his competitors with me as well.
