Review

As a frequent visitor to the area I was pleasantly surprised by this very practical and compact guidebook to Naples and the Amalfi Coast. I am pleased that this is a book that I would take with me on my next trip – there is enough here that is new for me, and I’m surprised that the recommendations are, based on my tastes and personal experiences, quite accurate.

I am particularly pleased that the author gives good coverage to the Capodimonte Museum (I had really expected to criticize the book for overlooking one of Naples most important attractions), which for some reason is usually given short shrift in American guidebooks. On the other hand, the allegiance to a “top ten” format can be a little misleading unless the reader is careful: the Capodimonte is listed as a “top ten” museum along with such extremely minor destinations as the “paper” museum in Amalfi (Museo della Carta), but note however that the Capodimonte museum is itself a “top ten” attraction for the entire region.

It’s also interesting that the book does not devote much space to such well-known destinations (and typical tourist overnight stays) as Sorrento and Amalfi itself. Quite frankly, I think it’s a wise decision: the book is small enough to fit comfortably in a jacket pocket or a purse or a knapsack, and I think it’s primarily meant for the traveler who is staying in Naples (perhaps for business) and is interested in what to see in the city and on day trips along the coast, as far south as Paestum.

One minor nit: although the author mentions that nativity scene decorations (”Presepe”) are typical souvenirs of Naples he does not mention the street “Via San Gregorio Armeno” which is lined with shops selling them. I personally consider it a highlight destination of the city. Similarly, although he mentions Vietri sul Mare, there’s no photo of the town and he doesn’t really convey how much fun it is to explore the ceramic shops there. Of course a book this size can’t really do more than list the attractions: a careful reader who knows what they are interested in will find much useful information here. Highly recommended.

Review

There are two strong books on Portugal – my opinion – and the two books are the Eyewitness Travel (DK) guide which I personally prefer or Lonely Planet Portugal. These two books both around 500 pages and are both tremendous efforts, very well balanced with photos, maps, history, etc. and both are clearly 5 star guides.

I would both (and DK Eyewitness Travel and Lonely Planet) head and shoulders ahead of Frommers, or Rough Guide or similar books that are less well balanced. Overall, the DK guide has better photos and visuals and makes for a better souvenir so it gets the nod as the better book.

Portugal is an old country with lots of fun things to see and do. I prefer to Algarve region but also enjoy visiting Lisbon – which can be expensive. Also I like to go well armed with maps and books because unlike the USA or Canada some areas have no English signs so the more information the better.

This book is well balanced and like the DK guide is that it pulls a lot of things together such as history and culture, food, towns and lots on Lisbon. The book brings it all to life with just magnificent photos and maps.

Either case this is an excellent buy. 5 stars.

Mallorca is much more than an island off the coast of Spain. DK Top 10 Mallorca gave detail descriptions and visuals of the place the Moors occupied until the Christians redid everything in its site. Mallorca was the 40 year residence of artist Joan Miro. His studio walls are intact and have original “first scribbles” on them. Valldemossa was made famous by George Sand and Frederic Chopin. Even Michael Douglas shares his villa with his ex wife….. Its natural beauty is breathtaking.DK Top 10 Mallorca Travel Guide taught me this and much more.

Review

We just got back from a 2-week trip to Iceland in which we circumnavigated the island by driving around the “ring road,” and we found this book indispensable. We had another guide book also, but found this one far superior. It provides factual info about each town or city or district that is practical and helpful. Information is comprehensive not only for Reykjavik, but also every little town as well. Never led us wrong on restaurants, though the prices had gone up on some (presumably due to the recent financial crisis). Opening and closing times as well as phone numbers for museums and other points of interest were accurate and useful. In addition to all that, the book is written with humor and is *fun* to read. There are stories that help you understand not only the physical things you see, but also the culture and history of Iceland. This is a really fine guide book, which we strongly recommend to anyone visiting Iceland for a short or long trip.

I found this book really useful when completing my travels around the different parts of Spain. It’s all too easy to get lost or feel powerless when travelling in unknown regions, but this book came in handy at all the right times. It includes some great places to go and things to see, most of which I doubt I would have discovered if not for reading them in here! If you’re planning to travel to Spain, and see all the best bits while you’re there, then is the one for you!

Review

Having just returned from a trip to Barcelona, and having brought several pocket guides to the city, we found this little book fairly useful.

First of all, the covers and pages are glossy so they don’t stain easily, which was unique to this guide. Secondly, there are LOTS of small color photographs, which is nice, though they are necessarily small. The front and back covers fold out to maps of the city and the metro system, and a selected street index. The book is organized into “top ten” lists: attractions, Modernista buildings, squares, churches, museums, cafes, restairants and tapas bars, night-time spots, gay & lesbian hangouts, shopping areas, markets, city views, parks & beaches, walks and bike rides, activities, attractions for children, folk festivals, and performance venues. In the next section, top ten lists are given for each geographic section of the city, and the lists mix resteraunts, attractions, etc. The final section, called “Streetsmart”, gives top ten helpful hints for: getting to barcelona, getting around the city, ways to explore, tours, information sources, security, health, banking, eating, shopping, budget travel and hotels. Each list is accompanied by a map or graphic and each item gets a few descriptive sentences and includes hours, prices and metro stop information. The book concludes with an incomplete index and some useful phrases.

We found this guide pretty useful and compact, and would definitely use others in the series when travelling.
