Reviews by readers

What a nice book!

I am planninga trip to Romania and I bought this book to help. It is very good, vivid, easy to understand and it makes me wish I was already there!

The best available tourist guide for Moldova

As mentioned by other reviewers, there is very little useful information in English for visitors to Moldova. Most of what one can find are overly negative (and overly biased) media reports and dry, "CIA Factbook"-type descriptions.

The Lonely Planet Guide skillfully fills in this information void, providing lots of useful tourist information and tips interspersed with perspectives on history/culture and some light humor. Although the book may at times appear too forgiving to a highly discerning Western tourist, the authors deserve high praise for their upbeat, the "glass-is-half-full"/"diamond in the rough" tone uncovering a region that has undeservedly received little positive coverage from the mass media.

When I was off to Romania . . .

. . . I found there was very little available in guidebooks. However, the Lonely Planet people did a good job with this difficult country. I appreciated the concise information, and I suppose it is a miracle they gathered as much info as they did!
