Future Eastern Europe Traveler

I will be traveling to Eastern Europe this summer on a tour, but I wanted a guide book that would help me prepare for my trip. Rick Steves book is full of great history, knowledge and background information. It also covers many major cities (five of which I will be visiting). I like that he's usually "wallet friendly" and you'll know that his recommendations aren't going to max out your credit card. The maps are clear and I have been able to locate my hotels. I will admit, I love to shop in Europe and his guide books don't tell you where to go---for good shopping recommendations check out Fodor's new gold series.

Excellent Information

Rick Steves did his homework and this book definately helped in the small details. Especially helpful was the section regarding Auschwitz. Getting to and from can be tricky, and the book helps the situation. However, the minibus system wasn't as described in the book. Overall, a fantastic resource for traveling to Eastern Europe.

Needs improvement to be user-friendly!

Although there was a wealth of information within the book, it was almost impossible to locate through the Index. If you are trying to find an explanation or discussion quickly, do not bother with this book, as we found it necessary to leaf through pages and scan for key words, which often were noted museums, churches, palaces, etc.

For ease of use, and because of its weight, it should be separated into 2-3 volumes. We stopped carrying it very soon after arriving in Eastern Europe.
