This guide is excellent and covers all major cities and day trips from those cities throughout all of Europe. The information is informative and very useful. I love the suggested walking tours and the information such as local emergency numbers, currency exchange, post offices, etc. are great to have when you are actually finally there. The tips in the beginning are excellent - it covers packing tips, a packing list, travel tips (whether or not to get a eurail pass), must haves on your trip and things to think about and plan before you leave. The beginning of each country chapter you get the history of the country which I found very interesting as I cannot remember my old college history courses! The tips on suggestions for places to stay and eat are definitely a must as well as the suggested sights and museums that they highly recommend. They also have suggested itineraries depending on how long you are planning to be in each country. Overall I loved reading this book and loved using this book in Europe even more! Don't start planning your trip without it!

I would recommend this guide to anyone who is planning on backpacking. It contains up-to-date information on trains and buses and their prices. The book also provide detailed maps of large European cities and public transportation maps in the front. This book saved me alot of money on my recent trip and is definately worth its price.
A MUST for a Europe Trip!

I went to europe knowing nothing. i had a little money in my pocket, a backpack on my back and a let's go clutched in my hands and i had a blast. no need for lonely planet or rick steves if you're on a real budget. they recommend enough places to stay that we always had somewhere to sleep, they included vegetarian restaurants which was awesome. overall, it was my bible while i was there!
