Customer Reviews

Nice pictures - not lots of detail
Lots of nice pictures, good travel ideas but not as much detail and information as in Lonely Planet or Rough Guides.

Little to no information on camping, unlike previously mentioned other guides which list places in most locations.

Thinner guide than a Lonely Planet or Rough Guides so good if your looking for a slightly smaller guide with good ideas that then lead you on to the need to make further research on internet.

Was a little disappointed to be honest, in comparison to guides i have for other countries by Lonely Planet or Rough Guides.

Sehr Gut!
We first bought the book on France ten or more years ago when we were regularly taking holidays in France with the kids. We've subsequently bought editions for many different countries, the latest being this Germany book ahead of a touring holiday in Bavaria.

We have so many guides from this series because we find them all to be equally easy to use and navigate your way around. As you'd expect with Dorling Kindersley the layout is clear, the pictures colourful and eye-catching, the text easy to read and the illustrations - often cut-aways - very useful for understanding more about a building, palace or whatever.

Fully indexed with general information at the front, including a very useful brief history of the country, the book is split by geographical areas. At the back there are universally useful sections of hotels, restaurants, travel and even a quick translator to help in hotels and restaurants.

We've found and liked hotels, restaurants, museums - as well as thankfully avoided a few - with the simple, unemotional content of these guides.

On holiday we never leave the house/hotel without it so thankfully the glossy but flexible cover is pretty resilient to rain, sand and sticky fingers. A real friend when you're away.

Great German guide book
We've bought this guide recently and apart from it being very informative and full of great pictures, we found it a good way of planning our travel through South Germany. More travels are to follow.
