Mediocre Guide, but there really isn't anything else

There aren't too many guides out there specific to Central Europe. The book was helpful for general reference but, lacked any good detail for traveling. The maps were somewhat helpful, but always seemed to be just limited enough so it didn't show where you wanted to go. The book is great for the tourist that doesn't want to get away from touristy places. If you want to go local this book is not helpful. And what is it about travel books? When are they going to make a travel book that you can seperate out the sections you want? If you don't want to carry around some 10 lb brick of a book and only the sections you need. I know the technology is out there.

Unstatisfied

My boyfriendand I travel a lot, and we usually take a lonely planet along with us.
The Central europe one, we've only used it for the Check Republic. It was alright but we think that the tips you usually get in this guide seemed to be missing. For the basics is fine, but we weren't totally satisfied with it. We understand that is not only about one country, that includes other's as well and the information is shortened, but anyway,it was of help only to a point.

We hope this information is of help for you,
kind regards

the bare minimum

This book was a real disaapointment. Very poor maps and slack descriptions, with lots of outdated information; made my trip more difficult than it should have been. Thankfully, most people in the countries I visited (Austria, Czech Republic, Germany, and Hungary) proved very helpful.
