5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best!, 8 Jul 2002

By	V. L. Marchant "travelbuggirl" (United Kingdom) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: "Time Out" Barcelona Guide (Paperback)

I can thoroughly reccomend the Time Out guide to all those visiting Barcelona. It has very clear maps of the city and surrounding area as well as maps of the Metro and Local train networks, (others we saw just had the Metro one).
We found this the best guide for details of excursions from Barcelona, it suggests train and bus lines to use and a price guide in Euros for attractions.It gives some excellent background information on Barcelona's main sights, suggests walks and even lists the top ten 'scams' to watch out for.
There are also extensive listings of bars, hotels, restaurants, shops etc etc. All in all an excellent buy!

5.0 out of 5 stars Streets ahead of the rest - literally!, 25 Dec 2003

By A Customer

The sheer volume of information here makes it the perfect guide for fledgling expats and visitors alike. Metro and train maps are clear and in colour (unlike in some other guides) and the city walks are well researched and accurately illustrated in map form so there's no awkward cross-referencing. Actually it would be great if they had the space to mark every bar and restaurant on the maps too. Speaking of which, the selection includes obscure local favourites but doesn't turn up its nose at the classic tourist favourites like Els 4 Gats or Caf� Opera either. I cannot say the same of Lonely Planet which calmly sends readers off to the same overpriced and unscrupulous tourist traps (eg. El Rey de la Gamba) as it did four editions ago.
All in all, a treat to read, even if you're still at the planning stage.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best up-to-date guidebook around, 4 Jan 2004

By	"huw2003" - See all my reviews

This review is from: "Time Out" Guide to Barcelona (Time Out Barcelona) (Paperback)

The best thing about all the Time Out guides is that they are constantly updated to keep you informed of the latest "in-place" to eat or drink as well as having a complete introduction to a city or location.
