First-Time Europe (by Louis CasaBianca)

This has got to be the best book to read before going to Europe. Whether it is your first, second, third or fourth trip to Europe. Rough Guides and CasaBianca have produced a wonderful book. It is not a guide to places to visit. It does not talk about the history or culture of any place. This book discusses everything that one should think about before going to Europe. From finding flights and insurance, to traveling between cities and countries to keeping a box of extra supplies that can be mailed to you from home to what you should pack and what you should be careful with when in Europe. This book has it all when it comes to planning a trip to Europe for the first time. I doubt that CasaBianca missed anything.

If anybody is scared to go to Europe for the first time because of all the details take a look at this book first and the trip will seem a lot easier.

A great book.

I’ll have to check that out… It wouldn’t be my first time traveling in Europe, but each time I go it does seem overwhelming. Thanks for the suggestion.

Another book I’ve always found useful is “Make the Most of Your Time on Earth” by Rough Guides.

I just ordered this book from amazon the other day! Anxiously awaiting its arrival. I’ve been to Europe before but it was through a study abroad program, not on my own, so I need all the help I can get!

This book will help you out a lot. If I had read it before going to Europe for the first time, I am sure my trip would have been much better.
