This book has some definite advantages and disadvantages…

What I liked:
Gives tons of information on things in about every major European city.
Tells about all the main tourist attractions, how to get there, and about how expensive they are.
Has lists of free things to do in every city.
Good maps of cities, their subway/metro systems.
Explains things I never would have known (Some countries, gratuity is added in the check already, it’s cheaaper to eat standing at t bar that sitting, ect.)
Basic words to get around in each country.
Explanation of the currency (in countries where it varies from the Euro, like the Czech Republic)

What I didn’t like:
Plans for a more expensive budget that I have.
Very big and bulky book.
Only lists hotels, and not hostels, which is where I will be staying.
