Customer Reviews

Useful, but not best guide book in the world ever.
I found this guide useful when exploring the city. It's set out clearly and the maps are really useful, it was easy to find the relevant information quickly. It did miss out a bit, but in a city with so much going on this was inevitable. It was also a bit over critical of some attrations, such as the city walks. A good starting point, but take its opinions with a pinch of salt.

Extremely helpful - packed with useful information
Concise but informative. I particularly liked the way it gave the price of entry to museums etc - this helped me plan where to go more cost-effectively. I will definitely look for a Time Out guide to the next city I visit.
