Product Description

"The Rough Guide to Germany" is the definitive handbook to this fascinating country. It features a full-colour introduction to Germany's highlights, from the beer halls of Munich to the hiking trails of the Bavarian Alps. There is lively and detailed coverage given to the full range of attractions, from the spas of Baden-Baden and castles of Bavaria to the jazz clubs of Munich. For every city, town and village there are discerning reviews of the best places to stay, eat and drink, in all price ranges. In the final 'Contexts' chapter, incisive discussion is given to topics as diverse as the Oberammergau Passion Play and the occult figure of Johannes Faust.

About the Author

Gordon McLachlan wrote the first edition of the Rough Guide to Germany in the 1980s, when the Iron Curtain was still firmly in place. He has updated and researched every edition since, travelling to every corner of the country and sampling hundreds of hotels, restaurants and bars.

5.0 out of 5 stars Diamond in the Rough, 4 Sep 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Germany: The Rough Guide (Rough Guide Travel Guides) (Paperback)

Rough Guide lives up to its usual high standards of directness and honesty with this comprehensive guide to Germany - including many smaller cities & towns ignored in other guidebook series.

4.0 out of 5 stars A student's review, 16 May 2003

Julie Wall - See all my reviews

This review is from: Germany: The Rough Guide (Rough Guide Travel Guides) (Paperback)

I picked up this book because of the travel books on offer it had the most information on the particular town I would be visiting on a study placement, Darmstadt in South Hessen. I wasn't sure how much more of Germany I would get to see but I invested in a travel book anyway. I'm glad I did, it's very detailed, very easy to read and includes a number of maps and even a few colour photos. It also includes a bit of history but doesn't force dry statistics on the reader. The general information about living in or visiting Germany was also useful.

My only critisism is that it's neither pocket size or lightweight, but the book's vast detail makes up for that in my opinion.

3.0 out of 5 stars Rough Guide to Germany, 6 Aug 2009

European Traveller (East Anglia, England) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Rough Guide to Germany (Paperback)

This Rough Guide is disappointing and doesn't give as good information and coverage as the other Rough Guides I have used. Maybe is is trying to cover too large a country in one go.
