This book is the worst guide book I have ever purchased, it is confusing and really useless.
For example, p.499 the Abszint restaurant is at VI Andrassy Ut 34, but the street is over 1km long from East to West, so where is the beginning of the street ?? it does not tell you which metro station you should get off to reach the place. You have only 50-50 chance to get it right !!
Another example, p.397 Restaurant Rissani in Berlin ( Spreewaldplatz 4, Kreuberg), this guide book only tells you the address and in general there is no way you can find the place unless you spend over 10 mins or even half hour to work it out !
Even the local had no idea where the Spreewaldplatz street was !! certainly, you can pay for the taxi drivers to take you to the place, so what is the point to get this guide book ??
I stayed in The Circus Youth Hostel in Berlin during my visit, but it took me over 1 and half hour to get there, because this guide book does give you the address, but which station I should get off ??
Anyway, I will give my copy away for those who want it for free !! (first come first serves !), but remember, this book will only make your trip worst !
Certainly, you can use guide book if you want to make your holiday/life unenjoyable

I took this guide to Europe recently. A lot of the recommendations were good, but the guide is not totally useful while on the trip. For instance, the maps that they provide always seemed to cutoff where I was staying, or don't include all of the train stations, so you don't know how to orient yourself without getting a better map. I realize that the maps focus on the more touristed parts of town, but they do not mark the recommendations on the map, so you're left with an address, and a crappy map that doesn't list streets very well. Rick Steves has the tourist area maps, but he marks his recommendations on his maps, making it much easier to actually use the guide. The Rough Guide makes a lot of good recommendations, it's not as quaint as Rick Steves, which was good for me, but Rick Steves guides are much more user friendly. Whenever we tried to find something using his guide we found it. With the Rough Guide we only found it by chance, or through looking into it on our own at a tourist offfice.
