Review # 1 was written on 2012-05-25 00:00:00 Michitaka Hanibuchi "Who reads an entire travel book?" you might ask. Well, I did and I enjoyed it thoroughly. Although I had it in mind to simply use it as a trip planning resource, the sheer eye-candy of this book proved irresistible and I found myself engrossed in its content. The entries are brief, sometimes too brief, but most of them are quite satisfying as a good introduction to many, many attractions. I still use Lonely Planet to get the honest low down on unsafe neighborhoods, the political & social climate, and to find out about culturally alternative or off-beat attractions, but I now use DK travel guides to help point me in the direction of all the visually stunning attractions that a place has to offer.

Review # 2 was written on 2018-11-12 00:00:00 Joshua Ohman These DK Eyewitness guides are great, more than just useful, they set things in historical contexts and lead you to unexpected places. Four pages on bigger galleries and museums like the Prado and the Thyssen -Bornemisza; the suggested walks around districts were clear and fascinating. The café recommendations turned out great, except we did try and find two non existent tabernas. Plus the print could be bigger.
