The Top Ten sights are picked out for you by the expert author and key places to visit in the main A to Z section are given star ratings to help you decide. Useful features such as The Ten Essentials (experiences not to be missed) and Peace and Quiet (getting off the beaten track) provide the perfect introduction. Detailed lists recommend the best places to eat and drink; where to shop; children's attractions; local activities and nightlife. All this, plus suggested walks and drives, colour photographs throughout, clear maps and practical travel advice.
As with all my travel guides I never got around to using (ahem), it's great to get an overview of these countries, but the phone numbers, suggested hotels and sights have probably changed quite a bit in 10 years. lol I would now choose the internet over an outdated book like this for finalizing things, but it's a good place to start. I'd love to see if the restaurants are still in business, or what tourist attractions might still be worth noting. I'll hang on to this as a reminder to visit sometime soon!
