1.0 out of 5 stars Unless you are American don't buy this book!!, 3 Jun 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Europe by Eurail 1999-2000: How to Tour Europe by Train (By rail series) (Paperback)
I purchased Eurail in Europe 99 hoping that I'd have both an informative guide to European cities and details on travelling by train in Europe. My first gripe with the book (before I opened it) was that the book's cover was too short, leaving the edge of the pages exposed.

Secondly, Eurail 99 is severely lacking in concrete information on actual cities (the large font size doesn't help) and instead presents a confusing list of directions to various 'eateries' and flimsy references to city attractions. Perhaps in the 24th edition they could include maps of city-centres!

Much of the information is of no real use to Europeans or those of us who have lived here for more than 6 months since we qualify for an Interail pass, not a Eurail pass for non-EU nationals.

So if your an American who knows nothing about Europe, needs to know where the nearest eatery is in each city and enjoys reading banal trivia about Europe, buy this book. My copy is staying at home.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best guidebook for rail travel for over 2 decades!!!, 11 Nov 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Europe by Eurail 1999-2000: How to Tour Europe by Train (By rail series) (Paperback)
The Europe by Eurail guidebooks have been the essential rail planning and travel companion for the novice through the advanced traveler for over 2 decades. Ferguson takes you step by step from rail station to tourist office to offering wonderful suggested lodgings, sites, restaurants and events in the 17 Eurail countries.

Her Base City-Day Excursion (tm) eases travel by getting the maximum benefit of the rail passes by staying in major cities or even smaller villages as a base and utilizing the pass for day excursions out and back. No hassles with heavy luggage! Just pure enjoyment of how Europe is meant to be seen! Europe by Eurail is undoubtedly the BEST guidebook out there for rail travel.

2.0 out of 5 stars Better to spend your money on tour books., 13 Sep 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Europe by Eurail 1999-2000: How to Tour Europe by Train (By rail series) (Paperback)
This book tries to be a tour book and a rail schedule. Buy a good tour book for the countries or regions you want to visit and use the train schedule you get with your Eurail pass to plan your travel itinerary.

The book gives tips on how to travel in Europe. It think that the tips are generally not useful.

The author's base city philosophy is sound, but in several instances, I would stay in smaller villages outside the large cities. You can easily commute to the center of the large city, but you will have a more "native" experience in the smaller towns. Trains run so frequently in Western Europe that you will have no trouble getting around.
