Reviews

"Very cool book. I bought it as a gift for my husband and he loves it. A lot of great information and easily markable. We will be using it to plan our next trip to Europe."

- Tammy B. O'Neill

"I love this book! There is so much to look at and learn about. It is a great coffee table book and reference guide since I travel a lot."

- Megan

"I have used these short, pithy, fact filled reviews of various cities around the United States and on a much more limited basis around the world for many years with great pleasure. I often learn a great deal about a the various destinations, even when I have traveled there before.

This book is a marvelous overview of many different European cities. I find it great fun to read through the entries as sort of an armchair traveler.

Sometimes I threaten to follow a suggested itinerary exactly just to see if you can cram everything in but so far I haven't."
