5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect resource! 11 Jun 2012
By M. Dainow-Hawkins
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Contrary to what it says in the item details the book is a whopping 1350 pages and covers in a reasonable detail all of Europe, with special attention paid to the popular stops. Includes useful information such as history, rainfall / temperature charts for the year, maps, highlights and attractions, where to eat and sleep, information on transport and general tips for each stop... all that for a bargain price.

Perfect resource for anyone planning a European tour!

5.0 out of 5 stars Basic, but massive. 24 April 2012
By M. A. Lidis
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
46 countries, 1338 pages - for a tenner it's a bargain. An absolutely essential and reassuring companion if you're planning a big trip around Europe. You might be better off with the more specific country/region books Lonely Planet do if you're planning something shorter - a cancelled bus meant I ended up in Podgorice in Montenegro and there was sod all in the way of help. Saying that, it's hard to see how this book could be bettered when you consider the amount of countries it covers for its size and price.

Personally I find Lonely Planet books brilliant for cultural nouse, history and the best things to do/see but, from experience, a lot of hostels and restaurants tend to hike their prices up when they find out they've been added to it. So, have a look at the hostelworld.com reviews for places to stay and ask the locals for the best places to eat and you'll do well.

So - brillaint for sights, maps, directions, cultural background and the history of the countries you'll visit, sound for transport info (can sometimes be a bit vague with areas to catch buses and always check the train/bus times locally as they're always changing). Shop around for accomodation and places to eat.

Oh and there's a brief yes/no/hello/goodbye/please/thank you/I don't understand/where are the toilets? phrasebook at the back that I nearly missed.

3.0 out of 5 stars Europe on a shoestring 7 April 2013
By Sheena Gray
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
When this book arrived I realised that it was not suitable for me.Perhaps a younster would travel round Europe carrying a book of over a thousand pages and weighing 1kg but I would be inclined to divide it up into manageable sections.
There is masses of information but restricted to a few towns in each country.However anyone wanting to learn about europe its countries and history will find lots to interest them.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great must have but very heavy for back packers 8 Jan 2013
By joffan
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This book contains everything you need to know but weighs a tonne. We bought this for our son who is travelling around Europe on an open rail ticket but we were shocked at the weight of the book.

4.0 out of 5 stars Europe on a Shoestring 27 May 2013
By Pembrokeshire Rosey
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Still using the guide as we are on our travels. It covers all the highlights of the various countries and there is a lot of info in the book. It is quite bulky but that is not a problem as we are in a car.

5.0 out of 5 stars Extremely Helpful - Would definitely recommend. (Kindle Version) 18 May 2013
By Miss H. P. Reid
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
I bought this book as I am planning on travelling to europe next year.
It includes a full europe map in great detail, allowing greater planning of which places to visit in which order.
It helped a LOT in terms of budgeting, and the average prices you'd expect to pay for things such as museum entry, a lunch, or a three course dinner.
In particular I would recommend this book simply for the recommendations of things to do. Tourist websites do tend to advertise places that charge an entry fee (perhaps for commission) whereas most of the lonely planet tourist attraction recommendations where either free or extremely cheap, and due to having never travelled around europe, it was a gold mine in terms of planning what sort of things I'd like to see.
The only downside about this book is that as soon as a hostel realises they've featured in a lonely planet guide they tend to put prices up so the cheap hostel sections are a little out of date pricewise.
Would definitely recommend buying the kindle version as there's quite a lot to read and can imagine it being quite bulky to carry around when travelling, and almost all of the features such as maps are available offline.
