Not a lot of "details" but very helpful in giving you a good "overview" of each location and basic information, such as web sites to buy advanced tickets for museums and other attractions, days and hours places are open, etc. "Reader friendly" maps and a relatively compact size are other pluses. Somewhat limited information about hotels and restaurants. If I were going to stay for a week or more in each city, I would probably want a more detailed guide for that city, but for basic information about these specific cities, this guide is very useful.

Thank you thank you thank you. This and all you learn will definitely help you to see things you have an interest in and not sell the farm back home to do so. I will refer to this often in my travels.

I bought this guide for an up coming trip. There is a lot of good information but I found the type very small and hard to read. Hard to get back to information if you do not mark it right away.
