Reviews by readers

Not a bad map

It's a little small, but it does help you get around, and it keeps excellently and won't wear and tear. However, if you lose it during your stay in Barcelona, it won't help you.

Attn. Forum Attendees

I visited Barcelona to attend one of the Forum events scheduled all year long. The Lonely Planet guide was of no help as the Forum was not on the map. The subway stop and the tram were also not on the map. This is a major attraction in Barcelona. Also, Lonely Planet advised that hostales don't take reservations- this is outdated information as I booked my room on line with no problem. My advice to Lonely Planet is: time for a new edition!

Old Information

We used Lonely Planet guidebooks all over Europe while we were there with our kids for 7 months. This book was the first time Lonely Planet let us down.

The book is organized badly and it was full of bad information. Two of the restaurants that were recommended in the book (both of which sounded as if they had been there forever) were nowhere to be found. In fact, one was a pile of rubble. This was very frustrating when you're hungry and you're dragging four kids around the city looking for a place to eat.
