The illustrations are beautiful, but when it came to planning an itinerary and researching attractions, this book proved least useful.

The DK Eyewitness Travel Guides are, bar none, the BEST travel guides out there! I love them!!!! Combine them with the Lonely Planet Guides and you have a winning combo!

This is a regular travel guide. I don't think it is any better than the others.
