Format:Paperback
I usually go for the Rough Guides, but decided to throw caution to the wind and try a different approach. What a mistake!! This book for starts does not have any accompanying maps to help the traveller, is very minimal in area information, and really does not detail undiscovered restaurants or any of the beaches that are 'hidden'. We ended up using the 'free tourist guides' for more info and the book was relegated to the bin-- we didn't even bother taking it home...

on the mark
14 Oct 1999
Format:Paperback
I went to Portugal November of '98' and had purchased several books before my trip. I found this book very acurate and helpful. I was nervous because this book had no pictures or photos, I had to just trust it. It was right on the mark. The best place we stayed was in Sintra in a bueatiful bed and breakfast among Sequia Trees, and was average in price.

Decent Portugal book
22 Mar 2007
Format:Paperback
I went on a trip with a bunch of friends and between all of us we had every travel book on portugal that's been published so I had the chance to compare Frommer's to the other guides.
Pros: Great restuarant/bar and hotel tips. All the restaurant tips were spot on. We used this guide almost every night to find places to eat and go out. Very informative about the historical/architectural significance of the sites.
Cons: Poor maps - not much detail and street names and sites are not labeled. The book could also use a bit more description on how to get places. We took a side trip to Sintra and the Let's Go guide was much more useful for getting to and from the sites.
Overall the book caters to a wealthier traveler than some of the other guides. Restaraurants that were listed as "moderate" in Frommers were listed as "Expensive" in some of the other guides. However, Frommers was very accurate when giving price ranges for the restaurants.

Good Basic Information

I purchased this book for an upcoming trip to Portugal to help us narrow down some choices of places to go. the book is up to date and like all Frommer's guides gives a good overview of county and travel ideas.
