5 out of 5 stars Nice pocket map/guide.......2006-01-05

I wanted a quick guide book with a map and the key details and this book fits the ticket perfectly. I'm only planning a quick trip for one day so this was all the guide book that I needed.

4 out of 5 stars Exactly as decribed.......2004-10-06

As a condensed book, it works. The map is very detailed to the tiniest street. The restaurant section is great. Of course, the hotel and sight descriptions are sparse, but the intended purpose of the book serves well as a pocket guide. Convenient, you can stick it in your back pocket as you walk about. For more detailed descriptions, get local tour guides or read before running about.

2 out of 5 stars Too condensed for me.......2004-04-15

This book was a little too condensed for me. The most useful thing was a trip itinerary of what to see if you are there for 1, 2, or 3 days. The descriptions of the top sites were very limited to a couple of paragraphs with a tiny picture. You will have to have a guided tour or buy a guide book of each site you visit, because there is little info in this book. The language section was ok and the restaurant section was pretty good. The hotel section was a little sparse but you should probably book on-line before you get there. I would suggest saving yourself the money and space by copying the itinerary suggestions on a post-it and look elsewhere for info.
