Having just come back from a tour of Eastern Europe for a second time with this book I would say;
Do buy it, and take it but only if visiting more than one country as LP publish concise volumes for each country (this volume weighs about a kilo but covers everything east of Germany and includes Russia).
There are several contributors to LP guide books - this is where my travel companion and I think the flaws emerge. Hungary for example has four contributors and we found this section useful with no contradictions. The Ukraine for example only has one - this was where we found the book fell down. One of the most impressive monuments and museums in Eastern Europe hardly gets a mention. Some of the recommended bars and restaurants were slightly disappointing and equally surprising we found some excellent places not included.
Overall however it's been useful - each country gets a good historical run down and a few (though not many) key phrases which always help. Accommodation and places to see are also included. Lonely Planet maintains it's no-nonsense simple to read info and also includes city centre maps.
You will however in most European countries be able to pick up maps and even 'what to see' leaflets and guides from a hostel or tourist information which are in English so you can leave the book for the day.
It certainly proved useful as a 'look forward' on the train or bus before we arrived and carried some useful warnings about scams etc.
At the price you may as well take it.

Brilliant guide, filled with all the nesessary info you could possibly need. I am travelling to Sarajevo soon and this guide has helped me no end. Invaluble to anyone travelling to anywhere in Eastern Europe.
Format:Paperback
Very good guide. Has very useful money saving tips so it more then paid for itself. Was invaluable in planning my trip and the information in it gave me the confidence to change my plans as i went along, safe in the knowledge that i would find something of interest and could find a bed for the night. It covered all the major attractions in countries i visited (8)and i found the information precise and up to date.

very helpful, except some mistakes and too personal opinions
We had a 3 week trip in Bulgaria, Romania and Hungary. The book is quite helpful; yet not complete. We had some terrible experiences in some hotels and places they recommended. Read more

Eastern Europe (Lonely Planet Multi Country Guide)
Useful book, but totally let down by the city / street maps. They are too impossibly small to read. I had to carry a microscope with me, but even then I didn't cope. Read more

Great read
The Eastern Europe guide is a great buy - well written and succinct while keeping an informal tone. Good value on Amazon also at about 60% of the price in stores. Read more

A partial review
I only used the sections of this book on Bulgaria, Romania and Hungary. I found them mostly very good but I have to say that the Bulgaria section was lacking a lot of useful... Read more
