5.0 out of 5 stars Useful unique book, 23 Jan 2005
When I had planed to travel Korea (2004) I was surprised how hard to find information about this beautiful country.
I had 3 weeks what is not too much if I want to see the whole country so by LP I could decide what the important sights what I had to see.
About the most important things is very needful the korean names by korean letters what also written in this book.
Lot of good information about trafick too.

2.0 out of 5 stars dull and uninspiring, 15 Sep 2005
While covering the major sights that most tourists see, and having decent maps, far too much of this book is involved in endless listing of accomodation and restaurant options.Most sights are only covered in the most perfunctory way and very little attempt is made to convey the character of this exciting vibrant country. If you want a more detail and interesting read aimed at cheaper travel and seeing unusual sights then Moon Handbooks is a much better option.
Although usable this lacklustre book is typicall of the increasingly monotonous lonely planet brand.

4.0 out of 5 stars Must have for travel to korea, 11 Jun 2009
By A customer (London UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Korea (Lonely Planet Country Guide) (Paperback)
Great guide. definite must have. I especially advise close reading of Korean customs and etiquettes mentioned in the book. Won (pun intended ;-)) me many friends.

However, I would try and getting the more updated version whenever that comes out as this is more than 2 years old and a lot has changed...
