Customer Reviews

Bad food, crowded places and squalid...
I always relied on Lonely Planet Guides... but this guide on Croatia is really bad! The author sent me many times to horrible places describing them as interesting, fascinating, charming... sent me to towns on the coast literally packed with thousands of noisy tourists, sent me to eat in bad restaurants, sent me to a SPA that ranks among the most squalids places I have ever seen. I believe Lonely Planet should aim at a very high standard, and it is not necessary to cover all the countries in the world if you don't have anything useful to say about those!

Lonely Planets worst so far
Being one of the mainstream budget travellers using LP as one of the main tools to get by in unknown countries, I bought the LP Croatia for my summer trip. Out of the ten latest lonely planet books I have been using, this is the worst. It is hard to plan your route due to the inconsequental "getting There & Away" sections. Further, it does not fully follow normal LP standard structure, which may sound cranky, but it is actually quite irritating when you use it as reference. The recommendations on sites themselves are pretty ok though.

A little flat
This is a handy book, but doesn't convey a great deal of feeling or enthusiasm for the place and feels a little bare. Luckily I stumbled upon the Cadogan guide to Croatia by James Stewart which really enthuses the reader and gives more information of all kinds, so I recommend that one.
