Reviews

"Love, love, love this series of Top 10, especially because I usually have just a few days in these European capitals, and these guides in particular help to get as much as possible out of the trip. The maps are great and sturdy and the whole book is light enough to carry in a pocket."

"I buy DK Eyewitness Guides for all my trips (I travel a lot for a living). They are simply the best at both orienting you in a city, guiding you to interesting places, and educating you on what's around you - all while being VERY VISUALLY ACCURATE. The 3d street drawings, the identification of landmarks and details, the historical backgrounds and the "look for this interesting thing" tips are wonderful."

"Great book. Useful lists. Small, colorful and with juste enough text to provide useful information but not overwhelm me with information overload."

- M. Oliver

"I find it much easier to decide whether I want to visit any attraction if I have an idea of what it looks like. The DK guides fulfill this function very well, and I found the Istanbul guide very valuable on my recent visit to that city. The guide is detailed and accurate, and allows me to decide on an informed basis which specific attractions I wish to visit."

"This publisher produces one of the best travel guides with lots of pictures and details of sights to see, as well as very usable maps. There are also numerous travel tips that prove useful to travelers. It's a nice balance of test and pictures and also not so bulky or heavy that you can't carry it with you for traveling."

"The DK Eyewitness Travel Guide series is one of favorite travel books - we have a whole collection of them and rely on them always - especially for historical significance information. The "4 days to spend in..." guides at the front are very helpful as we plan our trips, as those are the things we do not want to miss. I also appreciate the pictures and graphics very much."

"I like DK books. Yes, sometimes more written information would be nice, but I buy these guides for the fabulous pictures, and then for the information that goes with those pictures. I think that travelers really like DK's or don't. I never carry them with me when we go because they are so heavy. But prior to leaving and upon returning, these picture guides give such a great shot at what you will see (or don't want to see) and then remind you of what you have seen. As a lover of guide books, I do like the DK guides."
