This is a great book to use when traveling through Europe!
We just returned from a trip to Greece and Spain and Turkey and Crete and used this book for all our site seeing. It was very easy to read and gave us some great history on a lot of sites. It helped us decide what to go see in a very organized manner, to prioritize our time.

Great book great advice
I bought a copy in 1984 and it gave great advice for backpacking through Europe. This seems to be a great updated edition! Highly recommend for young travelers who want to get off the beaten path

EXCELLENT!
Could not recommend this book more to everyone going on a trip to Europe. With over 40 years of experience traveling Rick will teach you everything you need to know for your trip to Europe. I have learned so much. It covers every topic of travel you could imagine that is incredibly helpful to make your first or 100th trip to Europe the best. I've never found any other book with such a huge amount of valuable content for my trip. Fantastic in every way! 10/10 Highly recommend to everyone going to Europe! Buy it, You won't regret it. The info and knowledge you learn from it is worth so much more the small cost of the book.

Great Info
Thanks Rick Steves, I've been listening to you for decades and love the information. Only disappointment is some of the recommended hotels and shops are not very good. But overall great information.

Informative and entertaining printed guidebook
Entertaining and informative physical guidebook. While out and about in the streets of Europe, I will probably rely on my phone, and the bookmarks I have placed in my browser after reading the book. Book. Also nice for kicking back in a chair and dreaming of future travels.

Excellent information and fun to read.
My husband and I traveled through many countries using this book and many of his others. I think anyone planning a trip to Europe needs to start with this book. The book is very fun to read. You will be very happy you did. If you are lucky enough to live in the Seattle area be sure to visit his store. His crew is very helpful when planning your trip.

Terrible printing and book production
Whilst the book contents are not really affected the book i received is terribly produced, the pages are not cut straight and some are stuck together requiring me to get a knife and cut them myself. Poor QA on this
