Despite its size, this is still the best guide series around. I see more and more people with this book when I travel. It's got guided walks, off the beaten track ideas, detailed pictures and descriptions of every monument and area you can imagine, etc. The maps are a bit difficult as i would like to have a large city map available, but the maps by area are great for finding your way around specific areas. The transportation information is also very good.
Get over its size and get this book.

I travel quite a bit and generally try to use Eyewitness whenever I am able to do so. My only caveat is the weight of the book. In these times, weight is very important. Whether one is carrying the guide for use daily while traveling, or as a reference during the trip. It is a rather weighty book! I generally end up copying only the pages that I feel I need and leaving to book at home.

another well-done example of the DK series; review of spots is excellent, as are the pictures and diagrams; very helpful in mapping out places to go; heartily recommended
