Book Reviews of Lonely Planet Europe On A Shoestring
Book Review: A "must" for every money-conscious European tourist
Summary: 5 Stars
For those who feel that a trip to Europe would simply be beyond their means, Europe On A Shoestring: Big Trips On Small Budgets is a 1324-page travel guide that lives up to its title. Packed cover-to-cover with itineraries, a practical directory, easy-to-use maps, an expanded index, recommended sights and activities, and so much more, Europe On A Shoestring focuses both on seeing the best Europe has to offer and on keeping costs down to an affordable level, from eating and sleeping cheap to affordable festivals and wonderful cultural activities. Covering nations from Morocco, Spain and Portugal to Turkey, Greece and Cyprus, Finland, Sweeden and Norway, Iceland, Ireland, the United Kingcom, Belarus, the Ukraine, and of course all the countries located in between, Europe On A Shoestring is a "must" for every money-conscious European tourist.
Book Review: Brief, accurate and useful
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the most useful guide for budget travel in Europe. As it covers all of Europe in one book it is quite brief but every little bit written inside is useful. I would recommend this guide to anyone travelling to more than a couple countries in Europe. If you only plan to travel to one or two countries then buying a country specific guide is a better idea. But for longer trips this is the one.Book Review: Great guide for low-budget travelers, albeit a little big and heavy!
Summary: 5 Stars
I had no idea how big this book is. It was the heaviest item on my after-college backpacking trip to Europe, hands down. But what it lacks in portability, it makes up for in comprehensive, well-written information for the low-budget traveler.
My only complaint: the maps are sometimes hard to read, and local maps will often give you a better, caricatured look at the landscape.
Book Review: Bundle with Party Europe
Summary: 5 Stars
LP is a great book and had lots of awesome ideas. If you really want to have the best time of your life, buy a copy of Party Europe as well. LP tells you where to stay and eat, Party Europe will tell you how to have fun. Great combination. Can't wait to head back to the old country.Book Review: Too many countries
Summary: 5 Stars
The book itself is awesome, lots of useful info.
Unfortunately I realised I will only be using 40% of the book, since I'll be just visiting 3 or 4 countries and it may have been better to get one book for each one of them with more detailed info.
