The Best Overall Book to Read before a Trip

We spent a few evenings looking at all the Europe Travel books on Europe. This one stood out as the very best. Practical travel, many details, updated every year. Read this first, then get the Rick Steves more local books for even more details. The very best way to see Europe- for the novice or the Experienced. Compared to the rest of the European Travel books- nothing compares.

Best of Eastern Europe 2006

Rick Steves' travel books never let us down. This book lists websites to get further information and to send for more brochures, however, we've found all the information we need in this book. He discusses each country and their cities. You get trip costs, sightseeing priorities and how long to stay to see the best areas, how to get around on public transportation and driving tips,and history. We used his travel books in the past and found them to never lead us off course. Steves' spends time in Europe researching all you could possibly want to know and can lead you around each country to get the most bang for your buck!

Great book!

This is a great book to start you out if you've never been to Europe. It starts out with general information on how to prepare for the trip and what to expect. I recommend reading this first, then getting another Rick Steves book that specifies your destination country (this book gives general info about the different countries but his other books are full of details on one specific destinations).
