5.0 out of 5 stars Better than the Lonely planet guide, 8 April 2002
By A Customer
I have lived in Switzerland now for 2 years and have both this and the lonely planet guide. I find this one much more enjoyable to use. It has the same level of basic information but offers much more insight and additional information. LP by comparison is very dry. I wud rate this 5 stars vs 3.5 for LP and definitely go for the Rough Guide as a first port of call.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book will enhance your experience of Switzerland, 19 Nov 2000
By A Customer
This is a beautifully written description of Switzerland by someone who knows and loves the country. Even if you already know the country well you will find that this book enhances your experience next time you go back. It will make you want to be there!

4.0 out of 5 stars Good for those on a budget, 14 Jan 2003
I would recommend this book to anybody on a budget. We stayed in both Geneva and Zurich and found that we got to see a lot more than we would have without the R.G. The book doesn't concentrate on expensive art galleries and opera houses. Instead you get to find out about real places. How else could we have seen the "Smurf’s village" in Geneva - actually a group of bizarrely designed modern buildings!
In addition, reading about the history, the culture and the people you visit add greatly to your holiday.
To get the most out of your holiday, I would definitely recommend this Rough Guide book.
