4.0 out of 5 stars About the best of the guide book available for Romania, 19 Nov 2001

By A Customer

This is pretty good guide book for Romania. I've lived here for over 3 years and have used the previous edition and also the most recent two editions of the Rough guide. Of the 4 books this is the best.

That said a lot of the accommodation and restaurant information is not great. It overlooks quite a few of the best places to eat and stay. I get the impression this edition was rushed out and not updated properly. As this information changes so quickly in Romania the best source of information is a magazine called Bucharest in your pocket. They also have a web-site.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great book, in need of an update, 18 May 2003

By	Yasser - See all my reviews

I have just returned from a four-day trip to Bucharest. This guide proved a great introduction to the country and its history. The maps of the capital are particularly useful - even my Romanian taxi driver used them to find directions for some lesser known churches. Facts about places to visit are complemented by historical backgrounds - for example, review of Dracula's Tomb north of Bucharest is colourfully placed in the context of the historical Dracula, Vlad Tepes, as well as the fictional Dracula from Bram Stoker's novel.

A little disappointing was coverage of accommodation and entertainment in Bucharest. For example, Ibis, probably the best value hotel in the capital, is not even mentioned. Coverage of restaurants and clubs is also rather thin and out of date; one of the recommended restaurants seemed to have turned into a bar, and the few clubs listed had long lost their buzz and gone out of favour with the locals. In all fairness to Lonely Planet, Romania is a country undergoing rapid change - going from communist rule to EU membership in the space of 15 years. In such a fast changing country, information on places and services is bound to become out of date quickly, which points to the need for a new updated edition of this otherwise great book.

Would highly recommend taking a copy of the book with you, but make sure you also check locally the latest on accommodation and entertainment.

4.0 out of 5 stars This will not leave my hands once I reach Romania!, 21 Oct 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Romania and Moldova (Lonely Planet Travel Guides) (Paperback)

I am currently studying A levels and preparing university applications as well as trying to learn Romanian and a bit about the country in preparation for a GAP Activity Project's placement which I will do before university next year. I will be living and working in a Romanian orphanage for five months, so I have very good reasons for wanting to know a bit more about the country! This guide has enabled me to learn about all aspects of the country, from what to expect of the people, and how to come across as polite, to the political history and geography, climate, things to do, places you should try and see, in fact I think that everything is covered! I find this book light relief from A levels and I feel that it is giving me a good idea about how to prepare myself for my placement, so I will be able to land with both feet on the ground, so to speak.

The only fault I can find really, is that the book occasionally focusses on very minute details such as printers of out of date maps! However, I am confident that there is a purpose behind each entry in the book, because despite its length, it is quite succinctly written.

There are also some colour photographs to illustrate some of the finer points of the country and culture which help to build a better picture of both Romania and Moldova.

As a point of interest, I have a Moldovan friend who has looked through this book, and she feels that it offers an accurate and comprehensive quide to her country and Romania. Key Romanian words are also included, so I can envisage that once in Romania, this is a book I will not be found without!

Other books I have found useful in my study of Romania and Romanian are the Berlitz phrasebook which is very compact, nicely pocket-sized! and the language course (definitely with the tape, without a native speaker to hand, the book would be very difficult to plough through!) by Alexader Vondriscu which is forming the basis of my learning of Romanian.

I would recommend this guide to anyone planning to visit Romania, or Moldova
