2.0 out of 5 stars dull and uninspiring, 15 Sep 2005
This review is from: Korea (Lonely Planet Country Guide) (Paperback)
While covering the major sights that most tourists see, and having decent maps, far too much of this book is involved in endless listing of accomodation and restaurant options.Most sights are only covered in the most perfunctory way and very little attempt is made to convey the character of this exciting vibrant country. If you want a more detail and interesting read aimed at cheaper travel and seeing unusual sights then Moon Handbooks is a much better option.
Although usable this lacklustre book is typicall of the increasingly monotonous lonely planet brand.

5.0 out of 5 stars Useful unique book, 23 Jan 2005
This review is from: Korea (Lonely Planet Country Guide) (Paperback)
When I had planed to travel Korea (2004) I was surprised how hard to find information about this beautiful country.
I had 3 weeks what is not too much if I want to see the whole country so by LP I could decide what the important sights what I had to see.
About the most important things is very needful the korean names by korean letters what also written in this book.
Lot of good information about trafick too.

2.0 out of 5 stars Very disappointing, 9 Sep 2009
By BTL "Brian" (Edinburgh) - See all my reviews
I have used the LP guidebooks as long as I have travelled and always found then very useful, with lots of great information in a well thought out and easy to use book.

This LP Korea (and Seoul guide - 2006 edition Seoul (Lonely Planet City Guide)) are terrible. I got the book after deciding to move to Seoul. While it helped in getting an initial overview of the city (hence the reason for two stars), its usefulness quickly falls away due to bad organisation of neighbourhoods, poor directions, and terrible maps. It is not well researched organising Seoul neighbourhoods in an erratic manner.

Using it for planning travel around Korea was equally uninspiring. I did wonder if the authors had visited some of the places.
